Configuring the report page

Much like visualizations, report pages themselves can be configured. As you are only configuring the page, you will not see a General or Visual area; instead, you will only see the Format page area.

Figure 9.37 – Configuration of report pages

You use the Page information area to change the page name, allow for use in Q&A by just double-clicking on the canvas, or set the page for use as a tooltip.

Figure 9.38 – Page information configuration

The canvas settings allow you to set the page size, in one of the preset configurations. The default is a 16:9 ratio, as most computer monitors are set to that. You can change the setting to 4:3, Letter, Tooltip, or Custom, which is a count of pixels.

The Tooltip option will shrink the page down to a size that is great to display a chart instead of just a grid of data in a tooltip. You don't have to turn Tooltip on in the Paging information settings...
