Applying a predefined format using the shortcut menu
To apply a predefined format using the shortcut menu:
1. Make sure you are in Report View.
The Edit Report button is pressed in when you are working in Report View.
2. Right-click a cell.
For example, right-click a cell in a section, table, or chart. If you select a cell in the
body of a table, Web Intelligence automatically selects all the body cells that display
values for the same object. If you want to modify the format of values on a chart
access, you need to work in Structure View.
The shortcut menu appears.
3. Click Format Number.
The Format Number dialog box appears.
4. Click a format in the Format Type list.
The available formats for the format type you selected appear in the Properties pane.
Samples of the format appear in the Positive, Negative, and Equal to Zero boxes or for
Boolean formats only, samples appear in the True and False boxes.
To display the shortcut menu for a chart,
work in Structure View and right-click an
object on an axes. In this example, the
[Margin] measure object is selected.
The shortcut menu appears when you right-click
a cell on a table, section, or a free-standing cell.
