Select a data view
You can select a data view from the drop-down list or select a data view from a cell and automatically update your data block with a new data view.
Select data view from a cell
Selecting a data view from a cell makes it easy to refresh data blocks using different data views. Instead of creating completely new reports with separate data blocks, you can refresh data blocks with a data view selected from a cell.
Selecting a data view from a cell is helpful when you have:
- Multiple data views that are similar or identical to each other in structure.
- Complicated data block formats that include customized components and layouts.
To select a data view from a cell, first build a data block and assign multiple data views to a cell outside of your data block. Then, use the Data view from cell panel to refresh your data blocks from different data views.
