About Matrix Portlets

A matrix portlet displays tablular views of cPlan data with Measure Factory measures.

An example of a matrix portlet.

When you create a matrix portlet, you select the measures (called lines in the portlet creation wizard) that typically appear in the left-most column of the portlet, and the other columns display data regarding that measure.

The Closedlines can be grouped into Closedcategories to make the presentation more useful.

If the matrix portlet size prevents it from displaying all data, scroll bars are added to the portlet.

  • During a horizontal scroll operation, the leftmost column remains fixed in place if:
    • It is the measures column.
    • It is not part of a column group.
    • There are multiple columns in the portlet.
    • None of the portlet columns Overflow setting is Wrap text.
  • Column headings remain visible during a vertical scroll operation.
  • Increasing the portlet size to accommodate the data width can eliminate the horizontal scroll bar.
