Adding a New Grid

  To add a new grid to your report:

  1. Open a report and select Insert, and then Grid.

  2. Point to where you want to place the upper left corner of the grid, and then drag to the desired size.

  3. In Select a Database Connection, select a database connection, and then click OK.

  4. In the Dimension Layout window, drag the dimension icons from the Attribute Dimensions frames, if they exist, and from Point of View frames into the Pages, Rows, or Columns frames, and then click OK.

    Note:

    You can place multiple dimensions into the Rows, Columns, or Pages frames.

When you add a new grid, the system assigns a default name to the grid. You can rename the grid in the Dimension Layout dialog box or when you save it. The default name assigned is Gridn, where n is a system-assigned identification number. For example, if you save a grid that is the sixth system-named grid saved in the report, the default name is Grid6.

The system uses the grid name when a function or chart references the grid. For example, if you design a chart to graphically display the data from a grid, the chart properties must reference the grid by its name.
