Using sections, breaks, and sorts214
The following illustration shows a report with sections in Structure View. When you view a
report in Structure View, each section is clearly indicated by a section divider.It is easier to
format sections when you work in Structure View.
The following section of this guide tells you how to:
• create sections
• create subsections
• set section properties
• set the page layout for sections
• remove sections
Creating sections
You create sections by selecting a dimension for the section cell. You can do this two
ways:
• move a cell from a table to create a section cell
or
• select a dimension object listed on the Data tab
Note: The objects available on the Data tab are the objects included in the query for the
document.If your security profile enables you to modify the query, you can add other
objects from the universe to the query definition and then run the query again.
Creating a section by moving a cell from a table
To create a section by moving a cell from a table:
1. Verify you are viewing the report in Report View.
The Edit Report button is pressed in when you are working in Report View.
You create a section on a dimension in the table.
The section divider is labelled, indicating which object is selected for the section.
In this example the section is based on the [Year] dimension so, when the report
is viewed in Results View, each section displays values for a specific year.
