How to show report first then chart?

As a work around, use a co-display with the top report being the table and the bottom report as the chart. Turn off the table for the bottom report and leave off any chart for the top. You can quickly do this by making a copy of your current report.

Hi Larry,

Thank you for the input. I was hesitant to suggest this due to the "copy" report, nevertheless, good workaround.

Hi Kalaiselvan,

I just want to touch base to see what your views are on Larry's advice?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi Larry and Mark,

Thanks for your inputs. As Mark mentioned this may be a work around for time being or one/two reports, but the issue here is if we have more no of reports then this is not going to work.

Also, if any changes i want to make in the report every time i have to modify two reports. So, i think it will be good and great if we have such option in YF report settings to change the display preference for the report by user requirements.

Please let me know if any thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Kalaiselvan

Hi Kalaiselvan,

Yes, you are correct that it would be a pain to have to maintain this work around for many reports. For example, my organization prefers drill-through reports instead of drill down reports. They don't like how drill downs do not take in account the entire row and isolate based on that. In this case, I am creating two reports, so I get it. In your case, the top report can be an exact copy of the bottom report. Here's how:

First create your report and create the chart. Unfortunately, there isn't an option to not display a chart(I wish that would change), so what you need to do is create two charts. The second chart can be a dummy chart. With more than one chart created, you can edit the canvas(I wish that would change). Now that you have two charts and can edit the canvas, you will notice that it is blank and contains no charts. Don't add the chart(s), make the canvas size 800w x 10h. You can make it 0x0 but it's harder to resize it. Save this report as the main report. When you make a copy of this report your charts and data are right there, just either edit your canvas or if you only need one chart delete the dummy chart. With only one chart there is nothing left to do other than link the reports.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your comments. But i don't know why we complicate this thing by creating copy of the report, charts creation and canvas changes. I think this makes more difficult for the end user for this requirement. Instead of these many steps by the user, if we have such priority options in the report/design setting such as 'Table on/off' that will make easy to change the display preference. As i mentioned earlier if any one or two report the work around is fine, but i don't think it ease for the end user if have more no of reports.

Please let me know if any thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Hi Kalaiselvan,

I understand the need for simplicity with a simple option to change the order of report /chart, although Larry has offered a very good work around (thanks Larry), which I would highly recommend you consider until we can get some movement on this "Idea"

With this I will now go through the steps to create as an Idea. Expect an update very soon.

Hi Mark,

Its a bit finicky at times, sometimes you just need to resize you chart for it to work.

It works in all browsers, tested with Firefox, Chrome, IE

This has been around for quite some time, since version 6 i think.

Hi Stephen,

I can confirm I can now replicate. This is a simple click, hold and drag on the chart, this then allows you to move the chart to where you want (Top, Middle, Bottom, Right etc.).

This is another good alternative. Good work.

I'll await a response from Kalaiselvan, before I mark this Question as Answered.

Mark
