How to Move Objects on a Grid Report

You can move an object (metric, attribute, consolidation, or custom group) on a report to change the report's layout. This is also known as data pivoting. You can also swap all rows and columns on a report with a single click. See the appropriate steps below.

To Move Objects on a Grid Report

1. Click the name of the report to run it. If the report is displayed in a document, click the document to run it. By default, the document opens in Presentation Mode.
2. Do one of the following:
   • To move a single object: Right-click the object's header, point to Move, then select the move destination. Alternatively, you can click the object's header and drag it tob the new location on the report or to the Page-by axis above the report. The positions where it can be dropped are highlighted while you drag it.
   • To move multiple objects: Press CTRL and select the row or column headers to move. Then drag and drop the objects to the desired destination.
   • If DHTML is disabled, the Pivot buttons must be displayed. From the Tools menu, select Pivot buttons, then click the Go check mark. Then click the appropriate Pivot button:
     • Move to the left
     • Move to the right
     • Move to columns moves row headers to column headers in a new row.
     • Move up
     • Move down
     • Move to rows moves column headers to row headers in a new column.
     • Page-by this field moves the object to the Page-by axis.
     • Move to columns (down) moves the object out of the Page-by axis into the columns of the report.

To Swap All Rows and Columns of a Report

1. Click the name of the report to run it.

2. From the Data menu, select Swap Rows and Columns.

   If DHTML is disabled, click the Go icon.
