Report iView

Example

Figure 1: A report iView displaying a table.

Use

A report iView displays a report, typically as a table, or report results; these may also be a table or a chart (see Chart iView).

Look

The table should comprise the main part of the iView.

Order of Screen Elements

A filter of shuffler can be placed above the table, if data can be selected from several sets or if the amount of data has to be reduced.
Then follows the table.
Place pushbuttons related to the table below the table and left align them.
- If there exists an alternative chart view, a button below the table allows to toggle between table view and chart view.
Place pushbuttons related to the whole iView in the lower left corner. If space is at a premium these buttons may reside in the same row as table-related buttons (see Buttons for details).
- If there exists a related Web application (IAC), a button in this group should allow the users to call the application.
If there is an emphasized button, it is the leftmost button of the respective button group (table-related or iView-related). There must not be more than one emphasized button!

Initial Size and Appearance

Empty tables are not displayed in iViews. In addition, no space is reserved for the table or for a sentence, such as "No entries found".

Exception: There is one exception to this rule: Tables where users can immediately enter data should appear in the intended size and with empty lines.

Automatically Generated Tables

Tables that are generated automatically by the portal framework may have a different look and behavior than the table view and the portal data viewer.
