Customizing Page Report Studio Profile

Select to display a new web browser window for the link target, which can be a link report, a detail report, a URL, a chart hyperlink, or the detailed information created from the go-to-detail function.

When defining such links in Logi Report Designer, if you have selected Server Setting as the target frame of the links, this property defines where Server displays the corresponding link targets.

By default, this property is selected. Server displays the Save Report Template dialog box when you close a report that you have made changes to, since you first opened it in Page Report Studio. A change includes any action such as sort, filter, and drill, as well as actual changes to the template such as adding and removing objects.

Clear this property if you don't want to see the Save Report Template dialog box and save any changes to reports. The next time you open reports, Server displays their versions which you last saved explicitly.

A second way to avoid the Save Report Template dialog box is to create a profile in which you clear Pop Up Save Criteria Dialog and assign the profile to a user or to a report. Then, when the user closes the report, Server does not display the Save Report Template dialog box and discards any changes the user made to the report.

By default, this property is cleared, which means that when a report contains several report tabs, you can use the Go To list on the toolbar to switch among the report tabs. In addition, Server also display the path for tracing the master/detail report navigation in the Go To list.

Select if you want to show the master report in the same window when opening a detail report by default. You can go back to the master report by selecting the master report name.

Clear this property if you want to close the master report after opening the detail report.

• Grid Size
  Specify size of the grids. The default value is 0.07 inches.
• Grid Color
  Specify the color of the grids. The default value is #808080.

• Report Layout
  Select the default report layout when creating a new report in Page Report Studio.
• Report Style Group
  Select the default style for the four types of components when creating them via the report wizard in Page Report Studio: table, crosstab, chart, and banded object. However, when you insert them into a table or banded object which can bind style, the default style will be Inherit Style instead of the style you specified here.

  All CSS styles in the <install_root>\style directory are available in the list for your selection.

• Customize Group Indent
  Select if you want to customize the indent of groups created via the report wizard. By default, the indent of the groups is 0 inch. You can type a value between 0 and 4.

  Clear this property if you want to indent the groups according to the width of the group-by fields, when you create groups in a report in the report wizard.

Specify the properties for the Basic View and Interactive View of Page Report Studio.

• Show Link of Basic/Interactive View
  By default, this property is selected. You can switch between the Basic View mode and the Interactive View mode when running page reports in Page Report Studio. The Basic View mode provides simple functions for mainly viewing reports, while the Interactive View mode contains editing and analytic functions.

• Align Center Report Content in Basic View
  Select if you want to display report content centrally in the Basic View of Page Report Studio. By default, Server displays reports at the upper-left corner in the Basic View of Page Report Studio, which may leave space on the right for a small report.

• Controlling property values using formulas. If a Boolean-type property in a report is controllable by a formula, Server displays it as a checkbox, with mixed value. This means that this property is currently under the control of a formula.
• Editing group and report tab properties (you can access them using the Group and Report commands on the shortcut menu).
• Modifying the properties of images, special fields, and parameters (you can access them using the Properties command on the shortcut menu).
• Further commands, such as the properties on the Export and Others tabs in the object properties dialog boxes.

• View Incomplete Pages (available to administrators in the Administration > Server Profile page only)
  Select if you want to only fetch data for the required page and then format the page. Server might display incomplete pages for lack of data integrity and will refresh them when their data is ready. In this way, Server displays the first page more quickly.

  Clear if you want to fetch all data before displaying complete report pages.

• Format Page on Demand
  Select if you want to format the required pages. Server does not calculate the total number of pages and show them as a plus sign (+).

  Clear if you want to format all report pages. Server shows the total number of pages, but it takes longer to show the first page.

The property takes effect when you have selected Enable Background Task for Reports in the server profile.

Whether or not an open page report interacts with Server, it holds many resources. As a result, opening many reports will decrease server performance. Thus, you need to specify the maximum number of page reports that you can open at the same time in Page Report Studio, to prevent a large number of page reports from being open simultaneously and to improve the server performance. If the number of open reports exceeds the limit, Server displays an error message, prompting you to close one before opening a new one.

The Maximum Number of Open Reports property works together with the maximum number of concurrent reports allowed by your product license. Of these two values, Server uses the smaller as the real maximum number of open reports allowed. For example, if Maximum Number of Open Reports is 10, and the number that the license enables is 20, 10 will be the maximum number of page reports that can open simultaneously.
