Managing Report Elements

A report is made up of multiple elements. Examples of report elements are Text, Table, Chart, etc. You can manipulate the properties of each element independent of the others in that report.

This section reviews the properties of each element using the 'Ad Hoc' report in the Tutorial folder, but you can follow along with any report. Menu items that are common to all elements (e.g., Data Query) are discussed later.

You can change any element's position or add additional elements using Move, Insert, and Append. Make sure you are in Ad Hoc mode. Right-click on any element and you will see a menu like those below. (The Append menu is identical to the Insert menu).
