General Features

Override Default Page Orientation

The Format page of the Advanced Profile settings now includes an option to override a report's default page orientation, to force portrait or landscape. Note that the default orientation is usually optimum, and overriding may have unexpected results.

Report Header / Footer

The Format page of the Advanced Profile settings now includes a header and footer setting for adding a single line of text to the top and bottom of each page of a report. The tokens <DATE> and <TIME> can be used to insert the current date and time. Your operating system’s current long date and time format will be used.

Automatic Report Name

The Insert site details option in MCReport’s global settings prepends the Site Name and Lane Number to the automatic report name template, which is used by default when saving reports.

This gives a name in the form (SiteName)-(Lane) (ReportType)-(AutoSerial).

The Increment on recalculate option will increment AutoSerial each time the report is recalculated, rather than simply when the report is created.

Density Plot Granularity

There is a Granularity setting in the Format page of the Advanced Profile settings, which relates to density plots. This setting influences the automatic integration time of these reports. A higher percentage gives a smaller integration time, and therefore more resolution. The lowest setting is 40% (default).
