This section describes how to use Interactive Viewer to change the order of columns in a report, delete report columns that are not necessary, hide existing columns, and display hidden columns. When you delete a column from the report, you cannot insert it back into the report design at a later time. If you might have a need for data in the column later on, you can hide the column, and display it whenever necessary. You can optimize the layout of a report by adjusting the width of report columns according to the space occupied by column data.
How to reorder columns
1 Select and right‑click the column. Choose Column➛Reorder Columns. Reorder Columns appears, as shown in Figure 7‑1.
2 In Available Columns, select the column to move. Choose the up or down arrow on the right until the column is in the correct position. Moving a column up in the list moves it to the left in the report. Moving a column down in the list moves it to the right in the report.
Choose OK.
