Interactive output

Interactive output objects contain multiple, related output objects. The selection in one object can change what is displayed or highlighted in the other object. For example, selecting a row in a table might highlight an area in a map or display a chart for a different category.

Interactive output objects do not support editing features, such as changing text, colors, fonts, or table borders. The individual objects can be copied from the interactive object to the Viewer. Tables copied from interactive output can be edited in the pivot table editor.

Copying objects from interactive output

File>Copy to Viewer copies individual output objects to the Viewer window.

  • The available options depend on the contents of the interactive output.
  • Chart and Map create chart objects.
  • Table creates a pivot table that can be edited in the pivot table editor.
  • Snapshot creates an image of the current view.
  • Model creates a copy of the current interactive output object.

Edit>Copy Object copies individual output objects to the clipboard.

  • Pasting the copied object into the Viewer is equivalent to File>Copy to Viewer.
  • Pasting the object into another application pastes the object as an image.

Zoom and Pan

For maps, you can use View>Zoom to zoom the view of the map. Within a zoomed map view, you can use View>Pan to move the view.

Print settings

File>Print Settings controls how interactive objects are printed.

  • Print visible view only. Prints only the view that is currently displayed. This option is the default setting.
  • Print all views. Prints all views contained in the interactive output.
  • The selected option also determines the default action for exporting the output object.
