Reporting Software-Interactive Report Columns

InetSoft's award winning reporting software provides end-users with sophisticated customization tools that allow users to create unique reports with special features like interactive data columns. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

There are various methods for hiding and showing columns, discussed below.
Sometimes it is either necessary or desired to hide or reorder columns in a report. Style Intelligence provides you with two ways to accomplish this. One way is with the Ad Hoc tool, and the other uses the Report Explorer.

The following steps and screenshots refer to the 'Interactive' report.

1. With the report open in the 'Display' panel, click the 'Report Explorer' button and select the 'Purchasers' element in the 'Browse/Search' panel. In the toolbar, click on the 'Show Column Selection Options' button.

2. Uncheck 'Company'. Click 'Submit' to generate the report.

Filtering values for expression fields are not displayed as selec­tion lists, and need to be entered manually.

Features of the Report Explorer are greatly determined by the nature and complexity of the original report design. For example, complex crosstab tables (Formula Tables) cannot be manipulated within the Report Explorer, and Section elements do not permit column rearrangement and/or hiding.
Show Summary Rows only

The 'Browse/Search' panel displays all the elements in the report and allows you to select a specific table element. If the table element has grouping, you can click on the arrows to the right of the group name to 'Hide Detail Rows' for any or all groups. We used the 'Interactive' report to illustrate.

1. Click the 'Report Explorer' button to open the 'Browse/Search' panel. Select 'Geography' and expand it by clicking the '+' to its left.

2. To the right of 'Geography', and each state listed beneath it, there is a 'Show/Hide Detail Rows' button. Click on the one by 'Geography'.
