For report sections
that use data items from a data source, you can synchronize the objects
that you insert into the body. Synchronized tables and graphs share
category or hierarchy filters, sorting (but not prioritizing), drilling,
and expanding.
Note: All tables and graphs within
a section are either synchronized or not synchronized. You cannot
choose to synchronize some elements in a section and not others.
By default, report sections
that are based on multidimensional data sources contain synchronized
objects. The report section is synchronized as soon as you select
data items from the data source. If you change the data source to
relational, then the objects in the report section automatically are
not synchronized.
To synchronize objects
that are currently not synchronized, when in Edit mode, select either
DataSynchronized Objects or
OptionsSynchronized Objects.
Note: This menu option is not available
if your report section contains a stored process.
When you switch objects
from not synchronized to synchronized, the following actions are taken
on any tables, graphs, and geographical maps:
-
All filters and rankings are removed.
-
-
Tables, graphs, and geographical
maps are reset to the highest level drill state.
-
Any percent of total calculations
are removed.
In Edit or View mode,
synchronized objects are indicated in the
Section Data panel
by this icon:
. The synchronize icon also appears on the toolbar
next to the navigational indicator.
