A database application can display information in many formats, including static and interactive reports, forms, charts, and interactive grids.
This guide explains how you can customize interactive grids and interactive reports. In an interactive grid or interactive report, you can customize the appearance of report data through searching, filtering, sorting, column selection, highlighting, and other data manipulations. You can save your customizations in the application or, depending on the developer’s configuration, you can also download reports locally for offline use.
