Watermarks

Introduction

Use a watermark to place text or an image on the background of your report; such as "Draft" or "Confidential", or a company logo. The watermark will be visible when you view or print the report.

Note: If you generate a batch report (or report selection), the watermark settings of the first report will be used for all the following reports in the batch.

Set up a watermark

To set up a watermark:

1. Choose File > Watermark.

   Note: You can also set the watermark from the Properties pane, by selecting Watermark in the Appearance section.

2. Select whether you want either a text or image watermark.
   • If you select a Text watermark, enter your text (or select a preset watermark text such as Confidential or Draft); then select the font, size and colour.

   • If you select an Image watermark, click Open to select the image file. The file will be stored in your report.

     To adjust the size of the image, use Scale to set the image size as a percentage, or enable Scale image to fit page to make the image fill the page.

3. To set the angle of the watermark, select either Diagonal (to rotate 45 degrees) or Horizontal.
4. If you want to make the watermark more or less visible, adjust the Transparency setting.
