In order to customize any report in SI, you must first understand the various "sections" that make up the stock report.
For simplicity, the Contract report is made up of five major parts: Header, “Section 1 Terms”, Phase Breakdown, Payment Schedule, and “Section 2 Terms”.
The Header section of the Contract report is shown below as it displays when the stock report is generated.
This section displays your Company Information as well as the Client Information for the Project.
The default wording for the "Section 1 Terms" are generated via a RichTextBox control on the report. This is the text you will need to change in order to reflect your own "terms and conditions":
This section of the report is generated via a subreport named "Contract Payment" and it displays the Payment Terms for a Project.
You are definitely going to want to add your own wording to the two "term sections" of the report. You certainly don't have to use both sections, but this example will.
In order to add your own wording, you will need to create Rich Text Format (.rtf) documents in Wordpad. This is a built-in text editor in Windows.
Note: Do not use Word to create your documents. Active Reports only supports documents created in Wordpad for use in the RichTextBox control. If you already have your terms in Word, copy and paste them into a Notepad document to strip out all formatting, then paste into a Wordpad file and re-format.
In this example, we will replace the text in both the "Section 1 Terms" and "Section 2 Terms".
