reports and these are normally set using the Report Selection Criteria window. However, you can override these parameters by modifying the settings in the main configuration file.

If a user sets a specific parameter in the

Referencemacro
LabelReport Selection Criteria
window, it will be overwritten by that set in the main configuration file. This allows you to amend certain settings, for example the percentage mark-up in a billing report.

As an example, we can set the percentage mark-up in every Billing Report to 50% and a surcharge of £1.00. To apply these settings, you need to edit the 

Keywordmacro
Labelmain.cfg
file, located by default in
Referencemacro
Label{app}\tim\config
.  Each report has its own ID number, e.g. the Billing Report has an ID of 2, which corresponds to the main configuration file that you need to alter.

Open the the 

Keywordmacro
Labelmain.cfg
file using Notepad and in the 
Keywordmacro
Label[Report Customisations]
section, add or amend the following line:

Code Block
Report2Extra = &markup=50&surcharge=1.00</span></p>

<p>From now on, when a billing report (ID = 2) is run, these extra settings are forced upon
the reporting engine and override any values that the user selected.</p>

In the example above, when a Billing Report is run, these extra settings are forced upon the reporting engine and override any values that the user has selected.
