Overview: Basic Reporting

This page shows the result of going through the create page wizard and choosing Report for page type, then Interactive Grid, and selecting EBA_DEMO_IG_EMP for the table (leave Editing Enabled set to the default: No). These are all the defaults; no additional customization has been done. This Overview region and navigation buttons were added later. For an editable grid see Basic Editing.

In many ways it looks and acts like an Interactive Report. Here are some new features and differences:

  • Rows are fixed height and columns have a specific width that can be adjusted by dragging the border between column headers or with Ctrl+Left/Right keys when the column header has keyboard focus.
  • Columns can be reordered with drag and drop (dragging the handle at the start of a column heading) or with Shift+Left/Right keys when the column header has keyboard focus.
  • Columns can be sorted using the buttons in the column heading (or Alt+Up/Down key). Use the Shift key to add additional sort columns.
  • Columns can be frozen using the column heading popup menu Freeze button.
  • By default rows are selected. You can use Actions -> Selection sub menu to change to cell selection. Use the Shift key to select a range of cells. The selection can be copied to the clipboard.
  • By default the toolbar and column headings stick to the top of the page and the footer sticks to the bottom when scrolling
  • By default pagination uses progressive scrolling. The sample data has so few records that all are seen at once. See Progressive Scroll for a better example.
  • The grid is keyboard navigable with a focused cell and current selected row (single selection by default).
  • The toolbar includes a Reset button by default that restores all the report settings to their defaults
  • The Actions menu has been slightly reorganized relative to Interactive Reports.
