• If you are in Results View, a cell containing one value for each unique value for the
added object appears above the table or crosstab. The data in the table or crosstab
is automatically sorted according to the cell value.
• If you are in Structure View, a cell is added above the table or crosstab.
4. If you are in Structure View, click View Results to see the results.
Web Intelligence applies the section to the report and displays the results.
Creating subsections
You can create a report with multiple sections. You create multiple sections in the same
way you create a section:
• by moving a cell from a table and dropping the cell below an existing section cell
or
• by selecting a dimension object listed on the Data tab, and then dragging and
dropping the dimension below an existing section cell.
For step-by-step instructions on creating subsections, follow the instructions in ”Creating a
section by moving a cell from a table” on page 214 or ”Creating a section by adding a
dimension from the Data tab” on page 215.
Setting section properties
You can set the following properties for a section:
• name the section
• specify your criteria for when you consider a section to be “empty”
For example, you may consider a section of no interest for your analysis whenever a
specific table or chart within that section is empty. In this case you can choose to
specify that the section is to be considered “empty.”
• hide or show sections that you consider empty
• include links to sections in the report map so you can jump from section-to-section when
navigating the report
Selecting the section display properties
To select the section display properties:
1. Make sure you are in Report View.
2. Click View Structure.
In Structure View you can see the start and end divider of each section on the report.
This makes it easy for you to select a specific section and then choose the properties
you want to apply to the selected section.
3. Right-click the section divider.
The Properties tab shows the properties relevant to sections.
