Objects

This tab provides a list of the tables, graphs, gauges, controls, containers, other
objects, and custom objects that can be used in a report or dashboard.

Data
|
This tab enables you to select a data source (or data sources) and the data items for your report. You can add, refresh, import,
or remove a data source using the icons above the list of data items. Using the menu,
you can change the data source, define a hierarchy, define a calculated item, define
an aggregated measure, show or hide data items, and filter on a data item. You can check the details for the measures in the data set. You can use this tab to add parameters to a filter, a calculated item, a display
rule, or a rank.
The data item table on the Data tab provides information about a selected item, including the name, classification,
format, aggregation, sort options, and parameters. These data item properties can be modified,
which impacts all of the report objects that use the data item.
When a report has multiple
data sources, the Data tab provides information about the data source and data items for the selected report
object. When you select a report object that
has a different data source, the Data tab updates automatically to provide
information about the selected data source.

Imports
|
This tab provides a
list of reports and report objects that have been created in the designer

from multiple data sources and create full-featured reports. You can
choose objects or sections in these reports to include in either a
new report or an existing report.
|
Shared Rules
|
This tab enables you to create a new display rule for a gauge, which is used by other gauges to designate intervals and colors for ranges. You
can edit or delete an existing shared display rule. These display rules are shared
across multiple gauges and can be created at any time.
