Reporting Software - Interactive Report Explorer

Using the report explorer in InetSoft's award winning reporting software, end-users can customize data elements to create a flexible and powerful reporting solution. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

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.

Form-based filtering

There are two ways to set filter conditions on data in a report. Here we demonstrate using the Report Explorer. An alternate way is with Ad Hoc reporting tool (discussed in the Ad Hoc Reporting). Our example uses the 'Interactive' report.

Filtering in Report Explorer

The following example shows you how to filter data using Report Explorer, again using the 'Interactive' report.

  • Open the Report Explorer, select the 'Geography' element, and click the 'Show Filter Options' button in the 'Browse/Search' panel toolbar.
  • In the drop-down to the right of 'Total', select '>' and type “1000000” in the text box to the right. Click 'Filter'.

There are two methods that you can use to sort tabular data.

  1. Sort On Header
    • If 'Sort On Header' is enabled, you can sort a table by clicking a column header. Click once to sort the data in ascending order. A second click on the same column will sort the data in descending order. The following screenshots from the 'Interactive' report demonstrate this.
  2. Sorting in Report Explorer
    • Click on the 'Report Explorer' button, located on the report toolbar, to open the 'Browse/Search' panel.
    • Select the 'Geography' element then 'Show Sorting Options' from the toolbar at the bottom of the 'Browse/Search' panel.

Note that, unlike 'Sort On Header', you can apply multiple sort criteria simultaneously.
