This section allows you to determine which columns are included in the print out for each item returned using the Data Filter section. The Format for the printout has three template options. If you choose the "Table with selected column names and values" option, you can further refine the columns used by selecting a view (which can be different from the view selected for the Data Filter) or by specifying which columns to use (see below).
