8.9.6.4 Customizing the Interactive Report Actions Menu

Customize or disable an interactive report Actions menu.

The Actions menu appears to the right of the Go button on the Search bar in an interactive report. Users use the Actions menu to customize how report information displays. Developers control what options display on the Actions menu in an interactive report.

Tip:

The structure of the interactive report Actions menu changed in release 5.1 to be consistent with interactive grids. To alter an interactive report Actions menu to use the previous (or legacy) structure, go to Shared Components, Component Settings, and configure the Interactive Report component.
