OUTPUT DESIGN & OUTPUT TECHNOLOGY

OUTPUT DESIGN  

Overview of Report Design

Designers use a variety of styles, fonts, and images to produce reports that are attractive and user friendly. Whether printed or viewed on-screen, reports must be easy to read and well organized.

Types of Reports

When designing reports, the essential goal is to match the report to the user’s specific information needs. Depending on their job functions, users might need one or more of the reports described in the following

sections.

1. DETAIL REPORTS

A detail report produces one or more lines of output for each record processed. Each line of output printed is called a detail line

3. SUMMARY REPORTS
