Save Sort Criteria
Server selects the Save Sort Criteria option by default in the save dialog box when saving a report/dashboard to a report/dashboard version or as a new report/dashboard, and saves the sort defined in a report/dashboard by default when saving the report/dashboard.
Save Filter Criteria
Server selects Save Filter Criteria by default in the save dialog box when saving a report/dashboard to a report/dashboard version or as a new report/dashboard, and saves the filter defined in a report/dashboard by default when saving the report/dashboard.
Expand All Nodes of Business View
Server expands the nodes of business view resource trees in Web Report Studio by default. It is best suited for business views containing a few folders and data fields. Clear this option if you have many resources to view, and if you would like all folders to collapse by default in the resource tree.
After you expand or collapse nodes in a resource tree, Web Report Studio remembers the changes and applies them anywhere you view the resource tree, within the report session.
Select the option and then select Partial Data from the Default Setting drop-down list, if you want to retrieve partial data only when running reports in Page Report Studio and Web Report Studio. You can further specify the default number of records you want to retrieve. By default, Server retrieves the first 5000 records. Server displays a report data mode drop-down list on the toolbar of Page Report Studio and Web Report Studio, with which you can switch to show full report data. When a report contains a large amount of data, it is helpful to retrieve only a specific number of records for performance concern.
Table Pipeline
Server enables table pipeline to speed up the rendering performance of tables involving millions of data records in Web Report Studio and JDashboard.
- Table Block Refresh Time
