Add Report Navigation

You can add a Report Navigator to your report output to set navigation based on one or more grouped columns. The columns serve as bookmarks or table of contents entries in both HTML and PDF report output.

For items to appear in the Report Navigator, the selected columns must be visible in the report. In addition, only grouped and associated columns are available for selection. If you do not have any grouped columns in your report, you cannot add columns to the Report Navigator. For information about grouping columns, see Impromptu User Reference.

A Report Navigator is recommended for multipage reports. However, if your report fits on one page, a Report Navigator is not required.

Steps
  1. With a report open, from the Report menu, click Navigation.

  2. Select the Include report navigator check box.

  3. In the Available columns box, select the check box next to one or more of the grouped or associated columns that you want.

  4. Specify the navigation properties that you want.

    Goal

    Action

    Include a list of page numbers in the report navigator, which link to specific pages in the report body

    Select the Include page numbers check box

    Remove duplicate entries in the report navigator caused by horizontal page breaks

    Select the Suppress duplicate entries check box

  5. Click OK.

    Tip: If you later want to remove all bookmarks in your report output without changing the settings in the Available Columns box, clear the Include report navigator check box. The Bookmark tab remains in the PDF report output when you view a report in Adobe Reader. This is expected Adobe behavior.
