To set Web Intelligence to avoid page breaks in tables:
1. Select the table, right-click and select Edit Format on the menu.
The Properties tab displays the crosstab formatting options. (For more information on
the Properties tab, see ”Java Report Panel interface tour” on page 29.)
2. Select Position > Avoid page breaks in table.
NOTE: You can include multiple tables and charts on a single report, and then
align them neatly on a report using the relative alignment feature. This ensures there
is overlap between the different blocks of information on a report, if changes to
report values increase the size of the tables or charts. See ”Positioning charts in
relation to other charts or tables” on page 179.
Repeating table headers or footers on report pages
To repeat table headers or footers on report pages:
1. Select the table, right-click and select Edit Format on the menu.
The Properties tab displays the crosstab formatting options. (For more information on
the Properties tab, see ”Java Report Panel interface tour” on page 29.)
2. Select Position > Repeat header on every page to repeat the header on every page.
3. Select Position > Report footer on every page to repeat the footer on every page.
Selecting display properties for empty table cells
Sometimes tables or specific rows and columns display no values. For example, if a sales
of a specific product are discontinued, table rows or columns that normally show results for
that product appear empty. By default, Web Intelligence displays such empty rows,
columns, or tables. You can choose to display or hide empty tables, rows or columns.
Showing or hiding empty tables, rows, columns
