You edit the report pages using the Page Editor. There are two methods of opening the page editor for a report page. In the Report toolbox:
- Right-click on the name of the page you wish to edit and choose Edit, or
- Double-click on the page name.
The methods have the same result - the Page Editor opens in the area to the right of the toolbox
The current page content will depend on the Layout Master you selected when defining the page, and any editing that has already been performed, (click here for details). in step 2 of the procedure in Create Report Pages. See also Table Designer and Chart Designer.For further details on how to customize these, see Table Designer and The Chart Designer parts of the documentation.
Figure 1 - Working in WYSIWYG
In the example, as the page is based on a Layout Master, the required elements are already positioned on the page. We therefore only need to specify which questions we want each component to be based on. If you wish to add additional elements to the page, either drag them from the Visual Components toolbox and drop them onto the page (go to Drag-and-Drop Operations for more information), or right-click on the page and select Insert Component.
When a new component is added to a page (regular page, page master, report master etc.), then a new name will be assigned to the component in the Report toolbox using the following pattern: <component name> (N), for example Table (1). The component will be given the next available number, so if there are tables named Table (1) and Table (2) on a page then the next table will be named Table (3). Any "holes" in the numbering will be filled, so if there are tables named Table (1), Table (3) and Table (4) on a saved page then the next table will be named Table (2). This applies for all components.
Note: Once you have set up a page as required, you can save it as a Layout Master for future use (go to Saving a Page as a Layout Master for more information).
In this part of the documentation we will run a cross-tab of q7 (Favorite) with q3 (Gender). A table, a chart and a header will be required for this page.
