Displaying Icons on the Navigation Bar

Use the Navigation Bar tab to define which icons display on the navigation bar and to define the language in which the navigation bar appears.

Note:

Changes to the navigation bar background and the icons that appear apply to the current report and to any new reports. Changes to the navigation bar language take effect in the next new report, they do not affect the current report. To change the navigation bar language for the current report, access the HTML tab by choosing Report, then Report Properties.

For the navigation bar to appear, your report must be two or more pages or you must select one of the navigation icons discussed in Table 18.

Table 18. Navigation Bar Options 

OptionDescription

Enable Navigation Bar

Displays the navigation bar at the top of HTML reports displayed in a browser. The navigation bar includes icons to navigate through the report (First, Previous, Next, and Last).

Template

Applies a template XML file to the report.

Customize Template Advanced

Accesses a Template.xml file that you can customize and use as the default for all Production Reporting HTML output. (See Chapter 33, “Customizing the HTML Navigation Bar” in Volume 1 of the Hyperion SQR Production Reporting Developer's Guide.)

This option is disabled if you did not define a template.

Note: You can also define a default XML template with the DefaultTemplate parameter under[Enhanced-HTML] in SQR.INI. (See Volume 2 in the Hyperion SQR Production Reporting Developer's Guide.)

Language

Defines the language for the HTML navigation bar.

Customize Background

Defines a custom background to appear behind the navigation bar.

To define a specific background pattern, click the icon next to Background Pattern and select the desired image (for example, GIF or JPEG).

To select a color, click the list box next to Background Color and select a color from the color palette that appears.

To set the placement of an imported image, select Customize and enter the horizontal and vertical position in the Navigation Bar Image dialog box.

Display Adobe Acrobat (PDF)file

Displays a link on the navigation bar to generate a report in an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).

Export report data in a CSV format

Displays a link on the navigation bar to generate report data in a comma-delimited file.

CSV data is generated for only the Master level query whether it is the default Master query or any additional Master queries. Only the data for the default Master query is accessible as a hyperlinked icon from the HTML browser. This and the other files are located in the directory containing the report. They are named by concatenating the following items:

CSV filename=Report name+Query name+terminating characters.

For example, in a report named Customers with two Master queries, OrdersReceived and OrdersShipped, the CSV files would be named as follows:

Customers_OrdersReceived_1.csv

Customers_OrdersShipped_1.csv

If more than one CSV file is needed to satisfy the query, the number “1” changes to the number of CSV files generated.

Display XML report output

Displays a link on the navigation bar to save report data in an XML file.

XML output will not work properly unless the report is written to one complete file. Doing either of the following actions prevents a complete single file from being written:

  • Limiting page output by selecting the Limit to option in the Preferences General Tab

  • Defining the number of report pages by selecting a Demand Paging option in the Preferences HTML Tab

Activate Interactive Reporting analysis

Displays a link on the navigation bar to generate an export data file that displays in a Interactive Reporting (*.BQD) format.

The Interactive Reporting analysis file generated by clicking the Interactive Reporting Analysis icon contains all of the information in the report. If you save a chart or cross-tab as a Interactive Reporting analysis file by selecting Interactive Reporting Analysis on the Analysis tab of the chart’s or cross-tab’s object properties, click the chart or cross-tab to generate a Interactive Reporting analysis file with information specific to the chart or cross-tab. (See Activating Interactive Reporting Analysis for more information.)
