Creating Analytic Grids Chapter 13

2. Press DELETE.

Moving Analytic Grid Columns o n the Layout Tab

To move analytic grid columns on the Layout tab:

1. Select a colum

n by clicking its column heading.

2. Drag the colum

n to its new location.

3. Release the mou

se button over the column that is to the left of the new location.

Note. Remember, the order of columns here determines the order in which they d isplay to end users. However,

to determine the axis on which fields appear, you use the Analytics tab in the Analytic Grid Properties dialog

box. All non-dimensional fields can appear on one axis only.

Moving Analyt

ic Grid Columns on the Order Tab

To move analytic grid columns on the Order tab:

1. Select the column row by clicking the row number.

The analytic grid is identified as such in the Type column and appears in green. All columns in the

analytic grid are directly below this analytic grid row and appear in a lighter green.

2. Drag the row to the new position in the grid.

A red line indicates the new position of the column before you release it.

Note. You cannot move a column outside of the grid when working on the Order tab. Similarly, you

cannot move an existing page control from elsewhere on the page into the grid. You can perform both

of these operations on the Layout tab.

Resizing Analytic Grids

You can resize

analytic grids in PeopleSoft Application Designer by dragging the right border of the grid. The

size of indivi

dual columns is determined by the data they contain. The height of the analytic grid is determined

by the number

of rows it contains. If the number of columns extends beyond the maximum width of the page,

a scroll bar i

s introduced to enable end users to scroll through the columns.

Note. When designing analytic grids, keep in mind that the row header, which you do not see in PeopleSoft

Application Designer, takes up some of the width of the analytic grid that is displayed to end users.

Setting Colu

mn Properties for Analytic Grids

After you insert the page control or field into your grid, you can set the properties for that field as you would

set properties for any other page control. Access the field properties by double-clicking the column heading.

This properties dialog box behaves much as it does for ordinary grids.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer, “Creating Page Definitions,”

Setting Page Field Properties for Controls.

Note. Settings that you select in the properties dialog, which comes up when you click an individual column in

the analytic grid, override the settings that you select in the Analytic Grid Properties dialog box.
