Viewer Presentation Component

In the Viewer Presentation component, the viewers can create "bookmark folders" in which they can store bookmarks to report pages that they have created. The bookmarked pages will retain all the dynamic settings such as filters and parameter selections that were applied to that page when the bookmark was created. The viewer can then go directly to those pages without having to remember which settings must be applied to recreate the pages.

Note: The Viewer Presentation component can only be added to the Report Master.

To add a Viewer Presentation component to the Report Master:

1. In the Layouts and Styles toolbox, double-click on the Report Master or right-click and select Edit.

The page editor for the Report Master opens.

2. In the Visual Components toolbox, click on the Viewer Presentation component and drag it to the required place in the Report Master.
3. Double-click on the new component or right-click on it and select Properties.

The properties page for the component opens in the lower part of the window .

Figure 1 - The Properties page for the Viewer Presentation component

Here you set up the properties for the component such that it looks and functions as you wish. The properties are as follows:

• Rendering style - this property sets the appearance and customization possible for the visual component. In Version 17.5, several components have received additional capabilities to the out-of-the-box appearances and ability to style elements using custom CSS styles. The Rendering Style version number reflects the following:
• v1.0 - the component rendering style prior to Version 17.5.
• v2.0 - the component rendering style after Version 17.5. Version 2.0 is the default rendering style for all new reports.

• Presentation Mode - you can allow the viewer to add both folders and pages to his presentation, or just pages.
• Collapsible - check this box if you wish the viewer to be able to collapse and hide the Viewer Presentation area. An arrow button will then be displayed.
• Style - the style for the component area.
• Header Style - the style for the component header.
• Show Export Button - uncheck this box if you wish to hide the Export button (go to Exporting a Bookmark Folder for more information), thereby preventing the viewer from exporting his/her presentation.
• Scrollable Page List - in the event the viewer has a long list of pages in the presentation folder, if the entire page list is permanently presented it will push the other components on the page down. Check this box to specify a fixed size for the area in which the list is presented. Then if the list exceeds this are, scroll buttons will be displayed allowing the viewer to access other pages in the list. If this box is checked, then two additional properties appear; the list width and height.

Note: All styles available in the drop-down lists on this Properties page are located in the Layout and Styles toolbox > Styles > HTML folder (go to HTML Styles for more information).
