Adding Blank Lines to a Summary in Monarch Classic

You can add blank lines to a summary to separate logical groups of information. Blank lines are added whenever the value of a selected key field changes. In the following illustration, blank lines are added whenever the value of the Customer field changes.

Blank lines separate each customer group.

 

You can add blank lines to the following:

  • after a header line.

  • before a subtotal line

  • after a key value change

You can also set how many blank lines to add.
