Formatting best pracitces

[dssd]

What are the formatting best pactices? For e.g., should we use % or inches incase of padding

[MFGF]

There are no real best practices around the units to use in padding that I am aware of. Just pick whichever you need. For screen reports I tend to use pixels (px).

As a general rule of thumb, apply format changes at the highest sensible level and rely on inheritance - eg apply your desired font to a table structure rather than to each individual table cell.

for report/prompt page markup formatting, things like font sizes, colors etc, I like to update the global report stylesheet so I can control everything centrally, and all new reports automatically use these defaults.

layout formatting is generally a personal/company preference, but try and use basic constructs like tables and blocks else complex report layouts get out of hand very quickly.
