Performing Actions on the Pivot Grid View on the Fluid Mode

When the Pivot Grid models have the default view set to Pivot Grid Only, select the Open in Fluid Mode option in the Pivot Grid Viewer search page to view these models in the fluid view.

To view the model in the fluid view:

  1. Access the Pivot Grid Viewer search page by selecting Reporting Tools, Pivot Grid, Pivot Grid Viewer.

  2. Select the Open in Fluid Mode option for the model that you want to view.

  3. Click the Pivot Grid name link.

Note: You can also use home page tiles (or grouplets) or related actions to view a Pivot Grid model in fluid mode.

When the number of columns in the grid is less than the width of the view port, the grid expands to fill the space. However, when the number of columns is more than can be accommodated in the view port, a horizontal scrollbar is available for you to scroll among columns.

You can click the Need Help link in the grid region to view the help message for the drag-and-drop function.

The grid fact data points are actionable. These options are similar to the classic Pivot Grid Viewer.

  • When bulk-related actions are not configured, clicking the data point on the grid displays the Detail View in a modal for the Grid and List view model.

  • When bulk related action is configured, clicking the data point populates a menu that enables you to either select an action or drill to the Detail View from that data point.

The filters in the left panel of the fluid view can be dragged onto the regions that are marked with Column and Row labels. You cannot perform drag-and-drop on the filters that include a disabled Drag icon.

In this example, you cannot drag-and-drop the Product and Region filters because these filters include the disabled Drag icons, but you can drag-and-drop the Month filter because its Drag icon is active.

You can drag-and-drop the axis between the column and the row regions that are above the grid.

This example illustrates how the Product axis is dragged from the Row region to the Column region.

You can change the axis level by performing a dragging and dropping within row or column regions.

Image: Moving Product axis to Region

This example illustrates how to drag the Product axis and move it to before the Region axis. This move will place the Region axis below the Product axis.

You can use the Expand All or Collapse All link at the top right of the grid to expand or collapse all nodes in the grid. This function is similar to that in the classic Pivot Grid Viewer. However, to expand or collapse a single node in the grid, you must click its node label.

This example shows the Pivot Grid Only model after the product node (All) in the HAWAII region is expanded.

If the Pivot Grid model is set to Pivot Grid and Chart, clicking on the chart data point displays the detail view for the data point in a full page modal when there are no aggregate actions. If aggregate action is configured for the Pivot Grid model, selecting the chart data point populates a menu to open the detail view and take aggregate actions.

This example shows the Pivot Grid and Chart model. When aggregate action is configured for the model, clicking the chart data point (5705.00 link) populates a menu to open the detail view and take aggregate actions.
