Report Preview Window Options

When you preview a report, use the toolbar at the top of the Preview window to perform actions such as navigating within the report or printing the report.

Field Description Related Procedure
Show or Hide Document Map Click the bar on the left edge of the Preview window to display the document map. Use the document map to locate and jump to a specific section of the report.

Click the similar bar on the right edge of the document map pane to hide the document map.

The document map is an outline of the structure of the report, based on the sorting and grouping criteria you set up for the report. The document map contains a link for each sorting and grouping value. When you click a link in the map, Vantagepoint displays that portion of the report in the Preview window.

For example, if you sort and group data on a report by project number and phase number, the document map contains a link for each project number at the top level of the map hierarchy and a link for each phase within each project at the next level of the hierarchy.

The document map is not available when you display the report in print layout mode.

Show or Hide Parameter Area Click the bar on the top edge of the Preview window toolbar to display the parameter area. In the parameter area, you can change selected report parameters and click View Report to generate the report again without returning to the Options dialog box.
