Report Details Properties dialog box

Use the Report Details Properties dialog box to configure the content of the report details. The Report Details pane displays information, such as filter and prompt details, about the report. For example, you can select whether to include view filter information or the attribute name in the Filter Details.

You can define the following report details:

  • Filter details, which displays the report filter and report limit by default, although other types of filters can be displayed.

  • Report limit details, which displays the report limit.

  • Prompt details, which displays the prompt information for all prompts in the report.

  • Report details, which displays the complete report details, including report description, prompt details, filter details, and template details.

  • Template details, which displays the complete template details, including attribute details and metric details.

The Report Details Properties dialog box contains the following tabs:

Interaction of report details preferences and report details for reports

The report details preferences specified in the Developer Preferences dialog box specify which types of report details are displayed. These preferences overwrite some of the report details that are configured in the Report Details Properties dialog box in the Project Configuration Editor and the Report Editor. For example, you choose prompt details as a report details preference. When you open a prompted report, the name of each prompt and its prompt answers are displayed in the Report Details pane. You cannot remove the prompt details display from that report, unless you remove prompt details as a report details preference. In the report itself, however, you can configure how the prompt details are displayed, such as whether the title of the prompt is displayed.

The report details preferences specify whether the following types of report details are displayed:

  • Report description

  • Prompt details

  • Filter details

  • Definition of shortcut filters, as opposed to the filter name

  • View filter details

  • Metric details

You can change this behavior by disabling the report details preferences, which allows the report details properties to be used instead. You can disable the report details preferences when you save changes to the report details properties (as described in Configuring report details overview) or by using the Developer Preferences dialog box (for instructions, see Disabling report details preferences). For more information about the report details preferences in general, and how to set them, see Enabling and customizing report details preferences.
