2.1 About Interactive Grids

Interactive grids feature many ways to change how the data is displayed. Options include the Actions menu, Column Heading menus, and the ability to rearrange the report interactively using the mouse.

Interactive Grid Interface

By default, all interactive grids have a search bar, Actions menu, and Reset button. Interactive grids also have Column Heading Menus, which you access by clicking the name or heading of a column.

You can hide, filter, freeze, highlight, sort, and create control breaks on individual columns with the Actions and Column Heading menus. Advanced users can also define aggregations, which appear at the bottom of the column or column group.

Using the mouse, you can resize columns or drag and drop columns into different places to directly customize the appearance of an interactive grid. (The width and order of columns can also be configured in the Columns dialog.)

You can quickly chart the data with the Chart function. This feature is useful for quick data visualization or even presentation, and responds immediately to changes in the data.

You can quickly revert your modifications with the Reset function or perform an incremental revert with the Flashback function. You can use the Refresh function to pull in the latest version of the data on the database (useful for highly dynamic datasets).

Reports in Interactive Grids

You can save your customizations to an interactive grid within the application as a report.
