## Customized Report Settings

PCRecruiter Reports offer a range of customizable settings to enhance your reporting experience, allowing you to personalize your reports, including adding your company logo. To access and modify these settings, follow these steps:

1. Select **Reports** from the main toolbar.
2. Choose **Report Options** from the action menu.
   - **Print Mode**: You can specify whether you want reports to display in Portrait or Landscape mode when using the PDF View Mode. Landscape mode is useful for showing more columns.
   - **Hide empty columns on PDF Reports**: By checking this box, you can hide empty columns in the print view. This option helps conserve paper and ensures your reports are more concise and readable.
   - **Report Logo**: Upload an image here that will be displayed on all your reports, replacing the PCRecruiter logo.
   - **Report Powered By Image**: Upload an image that will be displayed on all reports, replacing the "Powered By PCRecruiter" image in the top right corner. Please note that the maximum image size is 30×200 Pixels.

Remember to save your settings when you are finished. You can modify these settings at any time to tailor your reports to your specific needs and preferences.

- Export to Excel: Export the report data to an Excel file.
- Export to Office 365: Export the report data to your Office 365 applications.
