Commands

QUICK EDIT panel

When you select one or more data blocks in a spreadsheet, Report Builder displays the QUICK EDIT panel. You can use the QUICK EDIT panel to change parameters in a single data block or to change parameters in multiple data blocks at the same time.

The changes made using the Quick Edit sections apply to all selected data blocks.

Data views

Data blocks pull data from a selected Data view. If multiple data blocks are selected in a worksheet and they don’t pull data from the same data view, the Data views link displays  Multiple.

When you change the data view, all data blocks in the selection adopt the new data view. Components in the data block are matched to the new data view based on ID, for example, matching evars). If a component isn’t found in a data block, a warning message is displayed and the component is removed from the data block.

To change the data view, select a new data view from the drop-down menu.

Date range

Date range shows the date range for the selected data blocks. If multiple data blocks are selected with multiple date ranges, the Date range link displays  Multiple.

Filters

The Filters link displays a summary list of the filters used by the selected data blocks. If multiple data blocks are selected with multiple filters applied, the Filters link displays  Multiple.
