Guided report layout

Guided report layout helps you to create a report layout more quickly and dynamically by simplifying the process of adding objects to the canvas.

Here are some of the features of guided report layout:
  • Visual indicators that show you where an object is going to be placed before you drop it on to the canvas
  • You can place objects on the left, center, right, top, or bottom of a container with one gesture
  • Tables use percentage sizing which ensures that different screen resolutions are supported
  • You can resize an object by dragging one of its grippers
  • You can't drop a crosstab space object on to the canvas
Guided report layout is enabled by default for the benefit of users that are new to report authoring. If you prefer not to use guided report layout, you can disable it.
  1. Click manage icon > Options, and then click the Report tab.
  2. Clear the Enable guided report layout check box.
  3. Click OK.
Note: Guided report layout does not work with active reports.
