Report Settings
Often, you include an interactive report because of the pleasing display or the desire for column heading
formatting but you really do not want or need to expose the search bar to the end users. You can control
both report- and column-level settings under Report Attributes.
Report-Level Settings
Figure 13-25 shows the report-level settings that you can choose from for the reports that you create.

All the search bar options
The search bar is displayed above a report. If you include the search bar, you should customize the
functions that you want to display. Figure 13-25 shows the following settings:
•
Search Field
: Displays a text field in the search bar used to enter search criteria.
•
Finder Drop Down
: Enables users to search on a selected column or against all
columns.
•
Reports Select List
: Displays reports select list if the report has alternative default,
shared report, or personal reports.
•
Rows Per Page Selector
: Displays a select list used to select the number of rows to
display per page. I never use this one any more because I feel that it clutters the
search bar.
