Adding a Dimension Name Item

You can add a dimension name to a report if that dimension name appears in the last dive window. You might want to customize a report by including additional dimension columns and row values. To add an eligible dimension name to a report, click the Add Item icon in the toolbar of an unlocked report to display a list of dimension names.

This procedure uses the report created with the Creating the Baseline Report for Add Items Tasks topic, to illustrate how to add the Salesperson dimension name as a column heading.

Complete the following steps:

1. Open the marker file containing the baseline report with deleted items.

2. To display the report in edit mode, click the Lock/Unlock icon.

3. To open the Add Item dialog box, click the Add Item icon.

4. In the Item Type list, select Dimension Name.

5. In the Dimension list, select Salesperson.

   

6. Click OK to add the dimension name Salesperson to the report.

   On the report, notice that Salesperson does not share the same text attributes as Company and Ship Month. To edit the position, breaklevel, and style of Salesperson, update the attributes on the following tabs:

• Breaklevel
• Position
• Style

7. To move Salesperson to a logical position on the report (to the left of Ship Month to reflect the original dive order), complete the following actions:

• Double-click Salesperson to open the Edit Item dialog box.
• In the Breaklevel tab, set the Breaklevel to Page and the Location to Head2.
• In the Position tab, set the Style Name to Column Header.

8. Click OK to position Salesperson to the left of Ship Month.

NOTE: You can save this report as a marker and continue with Adding a Dimension Value Item to build back all of the items deleted from the baseline report.
