Dividing reports into sections
Overview
Dividing reports into sections enables you to group related information together in reports.
This is particularly useful on large reports, since using sections also helps you navigate
reports from section-to-section, using the hyperlinks in the Navigation Map. (For
information on using the Navigation Map to view report sections, see ”To navigate to a
section” on page 40.)
This chapter tells you about:
•
how sections work
• inserting sections
• inserting sub-sections
• including hyperlinks to sections for easy report navigation
• setting page breaks for sections
• positioning sections on the report page
• formatting sections
• removing sections
About sections
You can select a dimension on a table and divide the report into sections according to the
value of the selected dimension. This enables you to group related information in reports
and then navigate from section-to-section.
Example: Divide a long report into sections by state
In this example, you are viewing a report with a long table that provides results for the
different states where the eFashion store has retail outlets. You want to divide the report
into results by state and sub-divide each of the sections per state into sub-sections by year.
To do this, you select "State" in a column header of a table and set State as a section.
