When designing a report and dashboard, or before exporting, printing, sending by email, you can preview them. Viewing a report or dashboard is done on a separate tab in the report designer. The preview tab for reports and dashboards contains toolbars with buttons and menus.

 

 

 

In the report designer, you can customize toolbars to preview a report or dashboard. You can do this in the Preview Settings editor. To call this editor, you should do the following:

Left-click in the report template area (outside the page and dashboard).

Click the Browse button of the Preview Settings property.
 

Since reports and dashboards use different viewing modes, their toolbars differ. On the Report tab of the editor, the toolbar is configured when viewing the current report, and on the Dashboard tab, the current toolbar is configured.
 
 
Report preview settings
In the preview editor, on the Report tab, you can find a panel with a preview and a panel of parameters on which you can disable the buttons and controls in the preview. To disable a button or any control, you should uncheck a particular setting. Accordingly, to enable a button or control, a flag must be checked for that parameter. The included buttons and controls in the preview panel are displayed in real-time.
