In-Document Analytics

When creating interactive reports enabled with In-Document Analytics capabilities, you can use the ARCOMPRESS setting to modify file compression and generate output more quickly. You can only modify the file compression of interactive reports that use the Designer style of In-Document Analytics, identified by the setting ARVERSION=2. 

Syntax: How to Control File Compression to Improve Performance

To control the file compression of interactive reports that use In-Document Analytics, use

SET ARCOMPRESS={ON | OFF}

You can use the Adaptive Dashboard feature to provide a fixed view of your interactive dashboards, which improves navigation on mobile devices. Adaptive Dashboard is only available when you select the Legacy style of In-Document Analytics capabilities. 

The following image is an example of an Adaptive Dashboard in a desktop environment. 

You can navigate between pages in an interactive report or grid (AHTML) using the page navigation options, in the pagination bar. These options make it easy to view large amounts of data quickly, without scrolling. For stand-alone items, such as a single report that contains a large amount of data, the pagination bar appears at the bottom of the container. When you are creating a page that contains multiple reports, the pagination bar appears at the bottom of the page container.

An example of the pagination bar for a single interactive report are shown below. 

In InfoAssist, you can create content, including reports, charts, and dashboards that leverage the interactive capabilities of In-Document Analytics. Enabling this option provides your users with the ability to interact with and modify the content you created for their own analysis.

Note: If you use the Designer style, you will only be able to select the AHTML output format. 

How to Enable In-Document Analytics in InfoAssist

The column menu displays when you click a column heading in a report. This provides you with access to formatting tools, chart type options, and filters, giving you more control over what displays in your report.

For a non-measure or dimension column, there are three primary sections to the column menu, as shown in the following image.

When you run interactive content in maximized (full-screen) mode, there are a number of navigational features that you can use. For example, you can change the position of report and chart components in full-screen mode using drag and drop. To drag and drop, simply click the toolbar of any component and, holding the mouse, drag the object to the desired position.

If you are working with a chart using the Chart Rollup Tool and you subsequently create a new chart, the new chart launches with a metadata tree, buckets, and the chart picker. This look and feel is similar to the common interface of WebFOCUS Designer, as shown in the following image.

The interface loads with the fields that you had originally selected. This makes it easy to select different fields to create different types of charts at run time.
