Publishing Pivot Grid Fluid Views as Tiles

You can publish a Pivot Grid Fluid view as a tile (or grouplet). The tile can contain the pivot chart as dynamic tile content. Each tile is associated with the URL that corresponds to the Pivot Grid Fluid Viewer component for that model. The tile is not interactive; for example, you cannot drill to dimension from chart. However, you can click the tile to open the Fluid viewer component for the Pivot Grid model.

To publish the Pivot Grid Fluid view as a tile:

1. Create a new Pivot Grid model or open an existing one using Pivot Grid Wizard (by selecting Reporting Tools > Pivot Grid > Pivot Grid Wizard.

2. Access the Pivot Grid Display page, Step 5 of the Pivot Grid Wizard.

3. Click the Publish as Tile link at the bottom of the Pivot Grid Display page.

   If this is the first time you are publishing the current Pivot Grid model as a tile, the Publish as Tile Definition page appears. Otherwise, the Publish as Tile page appears listing the published content reference objects that use this Pivot Grid model as a tile.
