The following are upgrade considerations
and product changes for Report Painter:
- When creating a report
procedure where Measures and Dimensions are defined in the Master
File, you must select the correct column type before dragging or double-clicking
the field you want to add. Dimensions can be either BY or Detail
column types and Measures can be BY, SUM, or Detail column types.
For example, if you double-click a Dimension when the SUM column
type is selected, the field will not be added to the report. You
must change the column type to BY or Detail and then double-click
the field.
- When creating a new
report procedure, the default stylesheet, or any of the Predefined
Template Files you use, are referenced instead of being copied into
the repository folder. If you want to copy the Predefined Template
File instead of referencing it, select Copy instead
of Reference (selected by default) at the
bottom of the Style File Selector Wizard, when in the repository
area.
- When a chart is generated
from a report, the styling options of the report will be inherited
by the chart.
- When
browsing for an image using the Report Options Images tab, the image
is directly added to the list box instead of having to click the Add button.
- Excel® 2007 and higher
formatted reports will generate the XLSX format instead of the EXL07
format in the syntax. This is so newer versions of Excel will not
have 07 in the format specification.
- The When and Insert
Date options have been moved in the right-click menu of a subheading.
These options are only available after Alignment Grid has been applied.
The When option now comes after Cell Options. Insert Date can now
only be accessed by right-clicking and selecting Insert
Date from the Insert menu.
