Report<br />
Lightweight PDF Generation<br />
Allows system fonts on the server to be embedded in the report PDF. When disabled, all fonts on<br />
the server are embedded. When enabled, only the fonts specified in the Font Embed List in<br />
Configuration Manager are used. For more information, see the Configuration Manager User<br />
Guide.<br />
Pattern Simulation<br />
Specifies whether the server simulates patterns used in the report or substitutes a filled rectangle<br />
for the pattern. When enabled, patterns are reproduced as bitmaps in the report PDF. When<br />
disabled, a filled rectangle appears in the report PDF. While using pattern simulation assures<br />
accurate reproduction of patterns used in the original report, it also uses more resources.<br />
Page Size<br />
Row Limit<br />
Column Limit<br />
Limits the number of rows and columns that appear on a page. Use to improve the performance<br />
and readability of large reports.<br />
Report pages include navigation buttons that allow users to move forward and backward. For<br />
example, after opening the report, users can page forward to the next 20 columns or 50 rows.<br />
Buttons are also available for going directly to the first or last page of columns or rows.<br />
The page limits that you set are defaults only. Users can redefine the limits after they open<br />
paginated reports.<br />
Menu Size<br />
Dimensions Area<br />
Character Limit<br />
Limits the number of characters shown for category names.<br />
The box width is determined by the longest category name, up to the maximum set. Any category<br />
longer than the maximum limit is truncated. You may need to increase this limit if more characters<br />
are necessary to distinguish categories. You can also decrease the limit if categories are easily<br />
distinguishable with fewer characters.<br />
Item Limit<br />
Limits the number of categories shown per level. Use to prevent Web browser problems associated<br />
with displaying a large number of list items.<br />
If you can't redesign cubes so that dimensions contain fewer categories, you can limit the number<br />
of categories included in each level.<br />
For example, you limit dimension box categories to 50. Any level that exceeds 50 categories is<br />
truncated to show only the first 50 categories. A More Below or Page Down option is shown at<br />
the end of the list so users can view the next categories. The option name depends on the version<br />
of the user’s Web browser.<br />
For information about designing cubes, see the Transformer online help.<br />
