How to Maximize Your View of a Report: Full Screen Mode
You can view a report without the toolbars, menus, and panels at the top of the screen. By hiding these tools, you can focus attention on the data itself and maximize the amount of the report that can be shown at one time. This is called Full Screen mode.
When you view a report in Full Screen mode, all of the menus, toolbars, and panels are hidden from view except the Standard toolbar and the Page-by field.
Use the appropriate steps below to view a report in Full Screen mode, switch from Full Screen mode to normal mode, or, if you are a report designer, enable a report to open in Full Screen mode.
To View a Report in Full Screen Mode
- Open a report in Grid, Graph, or Grid and Graph view.
- From the Home menu, select Full Screen Mode. Notice that all of the menus, toolbars, and panels are removed from the screen, except the Standard toolbar and the Grouping panel.
To maximize your view of the report even more, enable full screen mode in your browser as well as the Full Screen mode in Web. For example, in Internet Explorer you can press F11 to enable Full Screen mode.
To Switch from Full Screen Mode to Normal Screen Mode
With a report currently displayed
in Full Screen mode, click the Restore
Normal Screen Mode icon 
. The
menus, toolbars, and panels are displayed at the top of the report.
You can ensure that when a report is executed, it opens in Full Screen mode by default. You can also ensure that all reports in your project open in Full Screen mode when they are executed.
To Set All Reports in a Project to Execute in Full Screen Mode
- On the upper right of any page, click your user name, and then select Preferences from the drop-down list. By default, the General preferences page is displayed.
- In the Output Formats area at
the bottom, select from the following options in the Full
Screen Mode Behavior for Reports drop-down list:
- Read from Report: Ensures that a report is opened in Full Screen mode only if the report's Full Screen mode setting is enabled. Within reports, this setting is the Always open this report in full screen mode checkbox in the Grid Options dialog box/panel. Steps to enable this for a report are provided above.
- Open every Report in Full Screen mode: Ensures that all reports in the current project are executed in Full Screen mode, by default.
- Don't open any Report in Full Screen mode: Ensures that no reports in the current project are executed in Full Screen mode, even if a report has Full Screen mode enabled.
- Click Apply.
To Ensure that a Report Opens in Full Screen Mode
- Open a report in Grid, Graph, or Grid and Graph view.
- Go to Tools > Report Options.
- Select the Always open this report in full screen mode checkbox.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
The next time the report is executed, it will automatically open in Full Screen mode.
