Dataset Objects is on the left side of the Document Editor interface and contains all of the items that can be placed on the document. These items include attributes, metrics, custom groups, and consolidations from an existing report, regardless of whether or not they are displayed on the report. For example, even if a metric is in the Report Objects but not displayed on the grid, that metric is still listed as a dataset object.
You can access the Dataset Objects panel by selecting Dataset Objects from the Tools menu.
You can drag and drop items from Dataset Objects onto the Layout area to add them to the document. This creates text fields in the Layout area. If you drag and drop a dataset name from Dataset Objects to the Layout area, you create a Grid. You can determine if the dataset is displayed as a Grid, Graph, or Grid/Graph by right-clicking the dataset grid, highlighting View Mode, and selecting the appropriate mode.
Dataset Objects first displays the dataset name, then lists the objects used in it. If multiple datasets are included on the document, the name of the primary dataset is displayed with bold text; all others are secondary.
