Supporting Footers in Printed Reports

Administrators can define standard footer text that is added at the bottom of all printed reports. The footers do not appear when reports are viewed online, only when reports are printed.
The footer definition is stored in a SAS Visual Analytics Transport Service property and can include basic formatting options such as font selection and size and attributes such as bold, italic, or underline. Footers cannot contain images.
To define a footer, follow these steps:
  1. Log on to SAS Management Console as an administrator (for example, sasadm@saspw).
  2. Expand the Application Management folder, and select SAS Application Infrastructurethen selectVisual Analytics 7.4then selectVisual Analytics Services 7.4then selectVisual Analytics Transport Service 7.4.
  3. Right-click Visual Analytics Transport Service 7.4, and select Properties.
  4. In the Visual Analytics Transport Service 7.4 Properties window, select the Advanced tab.
  5. Select the Printing.Footer.Content.Formatted property, and unlock the property value by selecting the lock icon on the right.
  6. Add the desired footer content as the property value.
The following rules apply to the footer definition:
  • The footer definition must consist of one or more HTML <span> elements. The spans cannot be nested.
  • You can use the style= attribute in the span element to specify formatting for the text in the span.
    The following Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute values are supported:
    color:
    Values must be specified as hex colors (for example, #000000 for black).
    font-family:
    Values must be available font or font family names (for example, sans).
    font-style:
    Supported values are normal or italic.
    font-size:
    Values must be specified in pt units (for example, 10pt).
    font-weight:
    Supported values are normal or bold.
    text-decoration:
    Supported values are underline or none.
  • You can use the <br /> element between spans to force a line break.
Here is a sample footer definition:
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Company Confidential.</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 10pt;">This document contains
 sensitive information.</span>
