Report Studio

You can define conditions to control what users see when they run a report. Conditions can apply to specific items in a report. For example, you can define a conditional style variable to highlight exceptional data, such as product revenue that exceeds your target.

Conditions can also apply at the report layout level. Conditional layouts are useful for delivering reports to a multilingual audience. For example, you can have text items, such as titles and cover pages, appear in the same language as the data in the report. You can also use conditional formatting to highlight exceptional data in a report.

All conditional processing is based on report variables. There are three types of report variables: string, boolean, and report language.

You can create and modify variables in the condition explorer. Alternatively, you can create a variable when you define conditional processing for a specific object, such as a style variable, or when you define a conditional layout. However, until you gain experience using variables, working in the condition explorer may help you to understand and organize the variables included in the report. All variables appear in the condition explorer regardless of where they were created. You must work in the condition explorer to modify an existing variable.
