Adding Column and Row Totals to a Report

You can summarize the measure data in a report by adding column and row totals. Column totals provide a grand total of each measure column in a report, while row totals provide a grand total of each row in a report, summing multiple measure values.

To add column totals to a report, on the Content section of the Settings tab of the Properties panel, click Enable column totals or Recalculate totals.

Creating Reports

You can create reports in a visualization in WebFOCUS Designer similar to the way in which you create charts. Reports allow you to communicate information at a high level of detail using a familiar tabular format. You can create a stand-alone report in a visualization, or combine multiple reports in a page.

You can create a report by creating new content in a visualization and changing the content type to a report using the Content picker. The report options in the Content picker are shown in the following image.

Adding Color to Charts

By adding color to your chart components, you can change the way information is perceived and plays a large role in the effectiveness of your chart.

Color adds contrast to your charts, giving you an advantage in presenting unique, well-balanced content. You can use color to highlight a specific aspect or outcome on your chart. WebFOCUS Designer provides a color picker to add color and style your chart.

Formatting Data Grid Charts

A data grid is a type of chart that displays a tabular representation of your data, similar in structure to a tabular report. A data grid allows you to review data in a row and column format, similar to a printed report. Data grids are easy to create, and provide features such as a tooltip for each cell of the grid. WebFOCUS Designer provides numerous options to style and format a data grid.

Values in a data grid can be sorted, and data grids can be shared or saved for use on a page. A data grid is shown in the following image.

Formatting Matrix Charts

If you are working with a chart type that supports a matrix format (for example, Matrix Marker, or another chart type utilizing matrix rows and columns), WebFOCUS Designer provides a selection of formatting options that you can use to customize and enhance the styling of your chart. A matrix format is a grid that contains values based on the intersecting data points, which is useful for reviewing changes and trends over time. Available formatting options for matrix charts include Headers and labels, and Lines, as shown in the following image.

Formatting Series in a Chart

A series represents a set of related values in a chart. These could be different measure fields in a chart, or different dimension field values in a chart. You can format all series together, or format each separately, including color, shape, display options for labels, and other options, including the ability to hide overlapping labels. You can select a specific series in a chart to which to apply changes, or you can select All Series, which applies changes to all series in the chart.

Using Axis Options in a Chart

Depending on the chart type (for example, bar chart), you can format the axes to customize the display of the information. This includes items such as labels, titles, and font formatting. For example, you can choose to hide the labels in your chart or format the font to add clarity to your chart.
