Displaying Report Matrices in a Portal Page

Last Updated: 08/12/2016 Introduced in Verision: 2.0

Report matrices display totals of how many records match each value reported in a column.  Each column is referred to as a dimension.  Multiple dimensions can be compared along the x and y axes of the report matrix.

The report used as the matrix source must already have a matrix defined.

To add a matrix to a portal page, in the Report Designer, drag a Matrix component from the reports category in the Components Panel to the workspace, then set the Matrix Source in the Properties Panel.

Example

The goal of this example is to:

  1. Create a portal page.
  2. Add a matrix to the page.
  3. View the page.

To begin, navigate to a Designer folder and click the Create Page/Dashboard button located at the bottom of the portal page.
