Sections Pane

Dashboard—Upon opening an Interactive Reporting document file, a customized Dashboard section can appear as the Interactive Reporting document file front-end. Each button selection, item selection, or navigation sequence can invoke a script. Behind the scenes, Interactive Reporting refreshes the Dashboard script commands that can perform actions such as retrieve data, populate controls, hide objects, navigate to different sections, and specify report parameters

Report—Displays high-quality and professionally designed reports. These reports can span anywhere from a complex critical operational report to a results set, a Chart, and a Pivot table. Use the reports to help you evaluate your business, expand communications, and assist in the decision-making process

Query—Foundation of the Interactive Reporting document, the Query section enables you to connect to a relational database, OLAPQuery (query section specifically designed for connecting to multidimensional databases), and CubeQuery (query section exclusively designed for connecting to and querying Essbase 9.x or greater databases).

Results—Retrieves data to your document and displays it in the Results sections as columns in a table

Pivot—Interactive table that quickly summarizes, or cross-tabulates, large amounts of data. You can rotate its rows and columns to see different summaries of the source data, or display the details for areas of interest.

Chart—Fully interactive, two- or three-dimensional view of your data that provides powerful ways to visually analyze your data

Table—Single-dimension report that displays your data in columns. Tables are often used as building blocks in other sections
