Menu Options in Report Designer
Below is a list of the available options:
-
Full Screen – Takes the report part into a full screen mode effectively hiding the Filter tab, but offering more room for design or viewing purposes.
-
Copy – Creates an identical copy of a report part. Makes it easier to add additional report parts with the same data structure and format to be edited quickly.
-
Switch to Configuration/Preview Mode – The method of switching from previewing a report part in the design real estate of the report and the actual underlying configuration of the report part itself. This flipping mechanism can also be found on the Dashboard module of Izenda as each report part can be individually flipped and manipulated through this same functionality.
-
Delete – Removes a report part from the report. This will fully remove the report part from the definition of the report. There is no way to undo this action.
