An active report offers visual assistance for viewing data

the row is highlighted with a background color, and when they click
a row of data, it is also highlighted with a background color. You
can set the colors for these options, Hover and Selected. The default
color for Hover is RGB(255 252 204), which is a pale yellow, and
the default color for Selected is RGB(51 255 204), which is blue-green.

-
Active Cache
-
Select this option to enable active cache.
Because
all post-retrieval processing is performed in the memory of the
Web browser, an active report has a processing limit of approximately
5,000 records or 100 pages of output. The active cache option enables
you to send only the first page of active report output to the browser
and retrieve subsequent pages from a temporary cache on the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. The server also becomes the resource
for performing all calculations, sorting, and filtering when active
cache is enabled. Since active cache uses on-demand paging functionality, WebFOCUS
Viewer is not supported.
In Report Assistant, the active cache
option is not applicable to active reports for Adobe Flash Player.
