Title: "Pages As Tabs" Display Error
Post by: ddevoe1971 on 27 Jun 2017 03:15:43 PM
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has some experience with this oddity/issue:

I've built numerous multi-page widgets in Report Studio 10.2.1, and set the properties to "View Pages As Tabs". Running a test from Report Studio the widgets display correctly. Adding the widgets to a Workspace dashboard, sometimes the widget tabs display correctly. Other times I can only view the very tops of the widget tabs. I've attached a Word file that gives you an example of what I'm seeing. I'm using IE 11.0.96. The issue is also there in Chrome 58.0.3.

All of these widgets are built within tables. I had thought that adding padding/spacing to the table cells might fix the issue. It seemed to work for a few days, then the issue reappeared. The issue is not constant: some multi-tabbed widgets always display correctly. Some rarely do. Sometimes reloading the dashboard will fix broken widgets, and sometimes break fidgets working correctly.

My team and I are at a total loss. Any help/insight is great appreciated. TIA!

I forgot to add in that I tried running Internet Explorer in compatibility mode - it didn't fix the issue.

Hi,
Have you tried the options, resize to fit content, Send to back and the other stuff that is available. If not try that and let us know. As the widgets should work without any issue with the tabbed reports too and did you try in any other browser.
Good luck

Thanks, New_Guy. I've tried viewing the dashboard in Chrome 58.0.3, and I get the same results.

"Resize to fit content" and "Maximize the widget" have no effect. Unfortunately I don't see options for things like "send to back" in Workspace. Am I missing a whole formatting menu/section somewhere? Or is it more to do with the Positioning options within Report Studio?

Appreciate you jumping in on this one!

Hi,
I think you are overlapping the report wizard with a text wizard that says 'Period to Period Performance (Market)..'. Try to click on this text wizard and move it to the above of the report wizard and let us know if that is the issue or not.
Good luck

The title "Period to Period ..." is contained within a table cell. The general rule we used for design was everything inside a table. Row one is the title. Row 2 are the filters. Row 3 is the list of data. I just revised the "Period to Period ..." widget: moved it outside the table, and then deleted the table. The widget displays correctly. I'm going to try that for a few of the other widgets and see what happens. If we have to have titles and filters in their own widgets, so be it! Having sub tabs takes us from 25 primary tabs down to 12 ... much easier for our clients to manage/navigate.

Appreciate your help, New_Guy! I'll reply here ASAP to let you know if the issue persists.
