Adding a watermark

Accountants Enterprise in Australia only

When you add a watermark to a report, the watermark will appear when you:

  • preview the selected report

  • print the selected report

  • export the report to PDF.

All watermark settings are saved and are then loaded whenever Reporter is launched. The settings are saved by ledger, therefore they are a ledger setting not a user setting.

To add a watermark to a report from the Generating Reports window

  1. Within your General Ledger software, and with the required client ledger open, select Reports > Reporter > Generate reports. The Generating Reports window opens for the client.

  2. Select a report.

  3. Within Generator, click the Presentation option.

  4. Select the ApplyWatermark checkbox.

    To remove a watermark, deselect the ApplyWatermark checkbox.

  5. Click the ellipsis (

    ) button. The Watermark Editor window opens.

      2. Select a colour by clicking on the down arrow under colour.

      3. Select a Font, Size and whether you want it to be bold or italic.

      4. Set the rotation.
