Freezing Column Headings in Active Reports

You can now freeze column headings in your In-Document Analytics (Active Technologies) reports. The Freeze option in the GUI tools allows you to define a scroll area within the data of your report and lock the column heading titles in place, enabling you to scroll through the data within the container. Report headings, footings, and grand totals are also locked, so that these also stay in view while you scroll the data in your report. This is very useful when working with large reports.

When you enable the column title freeze feature and run your report, a thin scroll bar displays to the right side of the report, as shown in the following image.

When you mouse over the thin scroll bar, it turns into a full scroll bar, making it easier to scroll through your report data. This scroll bar is shown in the following image.

If your report has more columns than can fit in the output container, you can employ the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the report.

Note: Scroll bars do not display if there is no scrollable data. Thus, if the data displayed fits the size of the container, scroll bars do not display.

You can enable the column heading freeze feature for In-Document Analytics reports in the GUI tools using the Freeze button on the Format tab of the ribbon, in the Navigation group. Enabling the Freeze option will add HFREEZE=ON in the stylesheet section of the report procedure.

Once you have enabled the column heading freeze feature, you must run your report to view the report with scroll bars.
