Properties dialog box, Document Properties, Document

The Document section in the Properties dialog box lets you modify settings, such as the default grid autostyle and the document width mode, in your documents:

General

Default Grid Autostyle: Determine which report Autostyle (a predefined set of formats) is applied to the reports in the document. When a Grid/Graph is added to the document, it is formatted with this report Autostyle.

Always open this document in full screen mode: Determine whether the document initially opens in Full Screen Mode. Full Screen Mode displays the document without any menus, toolbars, or panels except for the Standard toolbar and Grouping panel. Full Screen Mode allows the user to view more of the document at once, which is helpful when analyzing data, as in a dashboard document that contains multiple dataset reports, sections, and images. For more information, see Maximizing your view of a report: Full Screen mode.

Enable sorting and pivoting on grids in Express and Flash Modes: Determine whether users can sort and pivot data on grids in Express and Flash Mode. For steps to sort and pivot data in Flash Mode, see Sorting and pivoting in documents in Flash Mode. Whether this option is enabled or disabled by default depends on the document template that the document was created with.

Enable additional interactivity on grids in Flash Mode: Determine whether users can use a context menu to manipulate data in grids in Flash Mode. This option is only available when the Enable sorting and pivoting on grids in Express and Flash Modes check box is selected. For more information on the available data manipulations, see Enabling filtering, drilling, grouping, and moving objects in Flash Mode. Whether this option is enabled or disabled by default depends on the document template that the document was created with.

Automatically apply selector changes: Determine whether users have to click Apply to see their changes in the target (the Grid/Graphs and/or panel stacks that selectors affect), or changes are made automatically. By default, this check box is selected. This setting applies to all selectors in the document, except those on filter panels displayed in Flash Mode, which is defined by a property at the filter panel level, as described in Properties and Formatting dialog box: General . The Automatically apply selector changes property at the document level applies to selectors in a filter panel displayed in other modes.

Apply selections as filter for all new targets:

Document width mode: This option, in conjunction with the Document Width Mode Calculation option in the Report Services Preferences, can affect the width of the document and how quickly the document is executed. The following applies to this option and the Document Width Mode Calculation option in Preferences: When both the Document width mode option and the Document Width Mode Calculation preference are set to Automatic (the default), the width of the document will be as wide as necessary to show all the content on the page.

When the Document width mode option is set to Fixed and the Document Width Mode Calculation preference is set to Automatic (the default), the width of the document will not grow to accommodate additional content. This may cause parts of the document to be cut off in some cases.

When the Document Width Mode Calculation preference is set to Off, the Document Width Mode option has no effect on the document. This may cause parts of the document to be cut off in some cases.

Note: You can increase document performance by doing the following: If a document's Document width mode is set to Automatic, set it to Fixed. If you switch a document from Fixed width mode to Automatic width mode, this may result in slower document execution.
