Linking Grid/Graphs as shortcuts

After you add a Grid/Graph, you can later link it as a shortcut, which means that any changes made to the original report are passed to the Grid/Graph in the document. Once a Grid/Graph is linked as a shortcut, you cannot edit it in the document. Editing options include adding a view filter, formatting rows and columns, sorting, changing the graph style, modifying graph titles, and so on. (For a complete list of editing options, see Editing Grid/Graphs in documents.) You can:

• Add a title bar

• Format the Grid/Graph container and the title bar

• View it as a grid, a graph, or both a grid and a graph

• Specify Grid/Graph properties, such as position, size, grid overflow, and quick switch

To link an existing Grid/Graph as a shortcut

1. Open a document in the Document Editor. (How?)

2. Select the Grid/Graph.

3. In the Property List: Data section, change Shortcut to True.
