List report styles
Use the styles included with the global report style sheet, GlobalReportStyles.css for the list report.
The following table shows formatting from the GlobalStyleSheet.css style sheet:
Item | Style |
---|---|
Cells | 1 px silver line borders (unless otherwise noted) |
Column header | Light gray background; 1.5 pt black line separates column header from rest of table |
Summary header rows (list headers) | Light yellow background |
Total row at bottom | Dark gray background; 1.5 pt black line separates row from rest of table |
Additionally, when you create a new list report, do the following to make it match the existing reports:
Use List Headers (and not List Footers) to display summarizations at the object level.
Manually right-justify any numbers that are displayed in List Headers. Unlike List Footers, List Headers are not separated into the outer component and summary component, which use a right-justified style by default. So when you summarize information into a List Header, you must complete the extra step and right-justify the values.
Optionally add 1.5 pt solid black borders to group columns

Date formats for globalized versions
If you use a globalized version of the HCL® EMM reports package, you see a different date format in your list reports depending on which locale you use. Cognos list reports use the date style medium.
The following table shows the date formats for list reports for all available locales.
