Example
The goal of this example is to:
- Create a portal page and add a report viewer to display a report in the current folder.
- Enable group actions for the report.
- View the page and use the Multiple Selection button to enable group actions.
- View the options available for the selected rows.
To begin, select a Designer Folder and click the Create Page/Dashboard button.
In the resulting pop-up window, name the page and click Ok.
In the Toolbox Panel, expand the category Reports > [Existing Reports] > [Current Folder] > Report: Document Report and drag a Data View component to the workspace.
The Report Viewer will display the Document Report by default, but a user can view other reports in it.
In the Properties Panel, in the Control Views section, select the Show Group Actions Button checkbox.
The page is now complete. Save the page and close the Page Designer.
To view the report, select the page’s thumbnail, click its Action menu, and select View > Preview Page.
The page opens with the Document Report displaying in the Report Viewer.
Select the Multiple Selection button in the upper right.
A column of checkboxes is added to the report.
