Defining row and column headings for the grid enables you to specify the information you want displayed in the row and column headings for the entire grid. You can specify one of the following member labels for row and column headings:
The member name, which displays the member name as the heading.
The alias or description, which displays the alias or description as the heading.
The member name and alias or description, which displays the member name and alias or description as the heading.
Note:
When you report against Planning database connection, select Alias.
When specifying row and column headings, you must define where you want row headings to be positioned in relation to the columns. For example, you might want your row headings to be positioned before column A.
You can also suppress headings for repeating members in a segment. When you suppress headings, only the first instance of the heading for a member that is repeated is displayed. Headings for the additional repeating members are hidden.
You may also want to select the alias table you want to use. You can select alias tables in your Planning database connection. Although you may not specify aliases on the grid level, if you display aliases for a row or column, the system displays the alias table as selected on the grid level.
The heading properties you specify on the grid apply to all rows and columns unless you specify otherwise.
To define row and column headings for the grid:
Select a column. The row heading is positioned to the left of the selected column. Columns are represented alphabetically as Column A, Column B, Column C, and so on.
Optional: Select the Suppress Repeats check box to hide headings for repeating members in a segment.
Optional: Select the alias table to use when showing aliases. By default, this option is set to the default alias table for the type of database connection.
Once in the grid, text can be aligned horizontally or vertically. For more information, see Aligning Text in Text Boxes.
