Specifying individual column options
You've examined the interactive report settings you can set as a developer at the re-
port level and at the column level. Now let's take a look at interactive report features
from the end-user perspective. The following sections examine using the key features
of an interactive report as an end user.
Using the Column Heading Menu
The column headings of an interactive report contain functionality all their own and are
perhaps the fastest way to format a single column of a report.
Figure 7-20
illustrates the
interactive report column heading features. Clicking a column heading opens a
column-level menu with icon-driven options for quick sorting, removing the column
from the report, adding a break on the column, searching, and filtering on the selected
column. The Search Bar in this menu allows the end user to search for and filter direc-
tly on the values in that column. The Remove Column option lets the user quickly re-
move the column from the report. To restore the column, use the Select Columns op-
tion of the Actions Menu. The Break option adds a break on the column.
