A number of tools in WebFOCUS Designer support your efforts to apply styling to pages and page components. You can resize content, hide content from smaller devices if it interferes with a responsive layout, edit page, section and container properties, apply filters, themes and styles, and create custom templates.
You can create a page in two ways. When you create a visualization with new content using the Create Visualizations option on the plus menu of the WebFOCUS start page or the Visualize Data option on the WebFOCUS Home Page, and then add a second item to it by clicking Add visualization, it transforms from a single item into a page. Alternatively, transform a single item into a page without adding a second container by clicking Convert to page. You can then create new charts and reports directly withing the page.
Pages use containers to display multiple content items, and provide run-time options such as the ability to expand and collapse containers, navigate between items in a multi-content container, apply and clear filter selections, and even use custom functionality added using JavaScript. You can customize and style the entire page as well as sections, containers, and filter controls on the page using an intuitive set of options as well as CSS themes and custom CSS enhancements.
As you create content and pages in WebFOCUS Designer, you can preview them to see how your data displays in the chart, or to check the styling, run-time behavior, and filtering before publishing or sharing it with others. At any point in the development of your visualization, click Run in new window 
.
Auto Linking is supported from any WebFOCUS repository content, wherever it is run online.
From the WebFOCUS Home Page, right-click a chart that is Auto Link enabled, and then click Run.
Use the hyperlinks to link to other reports and charts, based on the following information:
In addition to the basic Auto Linking functionality that is available in WebFOCUS Designer, you can also add optional parameters to your Auto Link charts, extending the capability of this feature. An Auto Link enabled chart can link to any target content that you are authorized to access that satisfies the sort (BY) field to the Auto Link target report filter parameter requirement.
Auto Linking makes it easy to connect reports and charts in your development environment, expanding the reporting capabilities of your organization. Using Auto Linking, you can dynamically link multiple charts and reports with a single report or chart of any format, based on their common sort (BY) fields and parameters referenced in any filters. It is this commonality that dynamically links content in your WebFOCUS repository, allowing you to discover new possibilities in your data, and explore new relationships within your reporting enterprise.
Setting the output format of a stand-alone chart or report to AHTML provides In-Document Analytic capabilities at run-time. Content that uses In-Document Analytics provides users with an interactive interface that allows the generation of real-time, dynamic charts and reports. Its versatility not only allows you to interact with your content by adding filters, sorting data, and generating new content, but it also allows for offline content access.
The output format of your content determines the type of file that is generated when that content is run. Different output types enable different levels of run-time interactivity, embedding behavior, and compatibility with outside programs, so you can change the output type depending on how you intend to use your content and who the intended audience is.
Auto Drill enables you to navigate through different levels within the dimension hierarchy of your data source. This allows you to review underlying data for a particular area, and move through the structure of your data source based on your informational needs.
