About the tool palette and toolbar

The tool palette and toolbar contain tools used to manually create or manipulate objects in the Report Editor views (excluding the Web Source view). Each tool appears as an icon. Some tools, such as the Select tool (the Select tool), are common to tool palettes in all Report Editor views. Other tools are specific to the views in which they appear. Toolbar items have menu equivalents. In Reports Builder, run your cursor over a tool to display the hint text that identifies the tool.

Tool palette

The tool palette is positioned along the left side of the Report Editor views. Click a tool to activate it for a single operation, or double-click a tool to "lock" it for multiple operations. You can hide the tool palette by choosing Viewright arrowTool Palette to deselect it.

Toolbar

The toolbar is positioned along the top of the Report Editor views. To use the tools in the toolbar, click the desired tool to perform the action. All toolbar tools also have menu equivalents.  If the tool is designed to perform an action on a group of objects, it appears grayed out until one or more objects are selected.   Then clicking the tool performs the action on the selected object(s)
