8.9.6.3.1 Interactive Report Search Bar

Learn about the interactive report search bar.

All interactive reports include a search bar at the top of the page which includes the following controls: a Select columns to search button, Text area, Go button, and Actions menu.

If users have saved multiple reports, a saved report select list displays to the right of the Go button. Users can use this list to select a specific saved report. If multiple views are configured, a view selection button group also displays which enables the end user to switch views. You can remove or customize the search bar in Page Designer by configuring report attributes in the Property Editor.
