Collapsible Left Menu

The left side menu in REPORTER can be collapsed to allow for a bigger viewing area when working on smaller screens or larger reports.

To collapse or expand, you will click the ‘Hamburger’ icon located to the upper left corner in REPORTER, just below the red NC State brick.

Resizing Popups

• When hovering on the corner or the side of a popup window, a double ended arrow cursor will appear. This can be clicked and dragged to resize the window.

• At the top of each popup is a header section that describes the window. If the top of the window is double clicked, the window will be maximized on your screen.

Sortable Reports 

By clicking on the heading of a column, you can determine if it is a sortable report. 

If sorted, an arrow will appear to the right of the column header that was selected and indicate the sort order.

Clicking the header again will sort it in the opposite order, and selecting a new header will reset the sort based on only that field.

Adjusting Report Columns 

By hovering between two columns, you can determine* if it can be resized.

To resize columns, hover the mouse in front of a column name until a double line enclosed in arrows appears.

Continue to click and drag to resize.

• Reports will not include wrapped text, but pages using a column layout will. When viewing a report, text that is longer than the column can display can be viewed by hovering, copy/paste, or using the Export option.

**  Not all pages with ‘columns’ are Reports but those that are will have sortable headers and the option to adjust column widths. If you do not see these options as demonstrated or described, the page is using a column layout to provide functionality and it is not an adjustable report.

Viewing Cut-Off Reports fields

When viewing an exportable report there may be some fields that are longer than the column they are in, and are cut-off from view. 

You can always export the report and then utilize Excel to see full details, but you can also use the “Hover” method and the ‘Copy/Paste’ method to see the value without exporting. 

• Hover to see cut off field:
  Simply place your cursor over the cut off field and hover until you see the alternate text popup.
• Copy / Paste Method:
  Click and drag you mouse starting over the column value before the targeted text, and ending on the value after it. Copy this and paste the text into a document or your URL bar, and then trim out the initial and ending text.
