Modifying the Layout of Data in Views

Each editor for a data view contains the Layout pane, except for the map editor. The Layout pane is displayed slightly differently for each view type, such as graphs and pivot tables. The Layout pane shows how the data in a view is laid out using drop targets. For more information on drop targets, see "Drop Targets".

You use the Layout pane to modify the way that data is arranged in the view. Specifically, you can:

• Modify the data in the view, as described in "Adding and Rearranging Columns in Views"

• Set properties, as described in "Setting Properties for View Bodies and Drop Targets"

• Add totals, as described in "Adding Totals to Tables and Pivot Tables"

• Display running sums and relative values, as described in "Displaying Running Sums and Relative Values for Measure Columns in Pivot Tables"

• Define section sliders in graphs and gauges, as described in "Defining a Section Slider in a Graph or Gauge"

• Add legends to graphs by selecting the Show In Legend box in the Layout pane
