Setting up the Inline Grid Entry of Notes

This section describes how to work with Inline Grid Entry of Notes.

Using Report Designer, you can insert a Note column or row segment into a grid, and select a Note template to associate with the Note segment. You set column or row properties for the Note Segment, as well as a segment header and member selection for each dimension in the axis that the Note segment was inserted.

Note:

  • Note segments can only be associated with data segments, Note segments cannot be associated with formula segments.

  • When entering Notes in a Note row or column segment, the Note entry box allows a user to define different font formatting on text entered within a Note (For example, font type and size, bold, italic, underline, and so on.). However, grid cells only support a single font format, which is defined in the Cell Formatting properties for the Note cell, therefore any formats entered in the Note entry box will not be displayed in the Note row or columns segment.
