The Grid display preferences section allows you to personalize some display options for your grid reports, such as the number of rows and columns to display. You can also specify what features you would like to access in your grid reports.
Select Preferences at the top of any page, and then click Grid Display. The following options are available:
Grid style: Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to specify the grid style to use with reports in Web:
Use the format stored in the report definition (default): Reports are displayed using the grid style specified in the report definition by the designer of the report.
Use my selected default grid style: Your selected default grid style (see the Default grid style option below) is applied to all reports in Web. If you choose to use a selected grid style, you will not be able to change any formatting on any of the reports that you run.
Default grid style: Select a grid style from the drop-down list to be the default grid style for all reports. The default grid style is used for all reports that are run in Web if the Use my selected default grid style option is selected.
Maximum rows in grid: Limit the number
of rows displayed on your report at one time. If your report has more
rows than the number entered here, you can use the incremental fetch icons
or
to view additional data. The default value is 50.
Maximum columns in grid: Limit the number
of columns displayed in your report at one time. If your report has more
columns than the number entered here, you can use the incremental fetch
icons or
to view additional data. The default value is 10.
Show attribute form names: Specify whether attribute form names for attributes with multiple forms are displayed in reports. Choose one of the following from the drop-down list:
Yes: Attribute forms are displayed on reports.
No: Attribute forms are not displayed on reports.
Read from report (default): Individual report settings determine whether attribute forms are displayed. You can hide or show a report's attribute forms using the Data menu. For steps, see the Advanced Reporting Guide.
Show pivot buttons: Show or hide pivot buttons on all your reports. This check box is cleared by default.
Show sort buttons: Show or hide sort buttons on all your reports. This check box is cleared by default.
Show unused attributes in page-by panel: Determine whether attributes in the report that have not been added to the grid report are automatically added to the page-by panel when the report is executed.
Display empty grid axes in view mode: Show or hide a grid report when objects do not exist in the rows. For example, you have a report that does not contain objects in its rows, but has objects in the columns. If this check box is selected, an empty grid is displayed in the part of the report in which there are no objects, in this case, the rows. The empty grid may display messages similar to the following: "Drop objects here to add rows." If this check box is cleared, only portions of the grid that contain objects (in this case, the columns) are displayed. This check box is selected by default.
Enable sorting by attribute forms that are not displayed on the grid: Determine whether you can sort according to attribute forms that are not displayed on the grid. For example, the ID attribute form for the Category attribute is displayed on a report, but DESC is not. If this check box is selected, you can still sort the report based on the DESC form even though the DESC form is not present on the report. This check box is selected by default.
Automatic page-by: Determine whether a new page of information displays immediately after you select a choice in a page-by drop-down list. If this check box is cleared, you must click the Apply icon to see the new information after making a selection. This can be useful if there are multiple page-by drop-down lists and you want to select several before clicking the Apply icon only once. This check box is selected by default.
Use images for depicting expand and contract
in outline mode: Use this setting to adjust the expand and contract
symbols in Outline mode. If the expand and contract
images do not appear correctly in Outline
mode, clear this setting. This check box is selected by default.
From the drop-down list at the bottom of the page, apply the changes to the current project or all projects you have access to that are stored on the Intelligence Server and then click Apply.
Warning: Clicking Load Default Values will reset all of your preferences settings.
