Inserting and formatting tables130
Note: When you create a new document, Web Intelligence generates a default report
with a vertical table that contains all the objects in the query. You can modify or remove
this table. See ”Applying a different template to existing tables” on page 135 or ”Clearing
cells and removing tables” on page 146.
For information on creating new documents, see
“Template ook” on page Chapter. For
information on inserting additional blank reports into a document, see ”” on page 353.
Creating a table by dragging objects onto a report
To create a table by dragging objects onto a report:
1. Make sure you are in Report View.
When you work in Report View, the report tab(s) appear across the bottom of the
Document pane. You can go to Report View by clicking the Edit Report button on the
Web Intelligence toolbar.
The objects in the document appear in the Data tab.
If the Data tab is not visible, click the Show/Hide Manager button on the Report
toolbar.
2. How you add objects to a report depends on whether the report is empty or not:
• If the report is empty, select either a single object or a class folder on the Data tab,
and then drag and drop the object or class onto the report.
Selecting a class folder adds all the objects from the class onto the report in the new
table.
Or
• If the report already contains tables or charts, press the Alt key, then with the Alt key
pressed, drag an object onto an empty area of the report.
A new table header and body cell appears on the report. The table header displays
the name of the object.
3. To add another object to the table, drag another object from the Data tab and place it
to the left or right of the existing column header.
