Title: Adding Detail rows after deleting
Post by: roddawg on 01 Sep 2016 08:39:04 AM
I have a report that the user wanted only summaries so I added my summary headers and footers, then deleted the detail rows.  Now they want to see details.  Can I add the detail rows back in some how? All I currently have is Headers and footers with summary data in them.

Do you mean you hid the detail rows?

Go to View->Visual Aids->View Hidden Objects. Select the hidden objects and change the Box Type from None to blank.

roddawg,

I think that you are going to have to re-create your table.  I don't know of any function within Report Studio that will bring back the report details.

If they're deleted then there's no functionality to re-display them. If your company uses Motio then you can revert back to a revision, assuming your work was saved during development.

Thanks,
That's what I was thinking, I tried about every combination of table insert row etc that I could think of and looking at the structure there was no list item or detail item that I could select.  Thanks for the confirmation.
