Grid Toolbar

The toolbar lets you do the following:

edit and preview buttons Edit/Preview

Use Edit and Preview to toggle between Edit and Preview mode. Edit mode allows you to make changes to the grid, while the preview mode enables you to see how the grid will look when it is published. While in preview mode, use actions to toggle displaying the POV.

dimension layout button Dimension Layout

Toggles the dimension layout overlay, which enables you to drag dimensions to reorder them or to move them from the Point of View, Rows, and Columns.

You can place multiple dimensions into rows and columns. The dimensions that are not placed in rows or columns are displayed in the point of view bar located at the top of the grid designer.

You can layer multiple dimensions in a row or column. For example, you can place the Scenario and Time dimensions on the same axis to show actual and budget data over a period of time.

Note:

If your data source contains attribute dimensions, click the + sign in the POV, row, or column to display attribute dimensions, and then select the dimension to add. You can drag and drop attribute dimensions between axes, just like regular dimensions. Click the X in the attribute dimension label to remove it.
