Copying text into your story

...

Hovering over a report will display a pop-up menu. From the menu, you can resize the report's display size, switch between report views to display in the story, (chart, table or canvas, depending on what content is available), open any available user prompt filters to adjust the content of the report, and view the report in the Report Builder. The toolbar typically looks like this, although some options may alter depending on the content of your report.


For paired buttons such as the display width or type, the active option is dark. Clicking on a gray button activates its functionality and deactivates the paired functionality. For example, clicking on the first gray button shown above would reduce the size of the report, darken the button, and lighten the button next to it. See the table below for further information on the tools available.
 

Button

Name

Description

Original size

This button resizes the report to a smaller size. You can switch between the small or big size of the report.
Size limit: 400 pixels in width.

Fit size

This button increases the displayed size of the report (enabled by default).
Size limit: 700 pixels in width.

Display chart

This button displays only the report chart. In the case of multiple charts, a popup will appear allowing you to select from the available charts to be displayed. Click here for more details.

Display table

This button displays the report table. Fits to the size of the placeholder, and can be scrolled horizontally and vertically if required.

Display canvas

This button displays the report canvas (disabled by default, and only available if the added report has a canvas).
Note that a canvas cannot be resized in a story. The maximum size that can be displayed in the story is a default fit of 700 x 600 pixels. Bigger canvases will be cropped. To help you gauge the size while building the report, the Report Builder displays markers to indicate the maximum size that can fit a story when you resize the canvas.

Size limit: 700 pixels wide x 600 pixels long.

FiltersIf your report contains user prompt filters, you can create filtered reports directly from your story with this button. Read more about these reports in the content earlier on this page.

Maximize

This button redirects you to the report output page, where you can edit the report and re-publish it, if required. The changes will be reflected in a live report added to the story. You can also use this to replace the report with a snapshot or bookmark, or add another item from the same report to your story. Closing the report output page takes you back to editing your story. Learn more here.

...

  1. Ensure your embedded report or chart has at least one user prompt filter activated
