You can enhance navigation within a large HTML report by adding a dynamic HTML-based Table of Contents (TOC). To take advantage of this feature, the report must contain at least one vertical sort (BY) field. If you include more than one sort field in a report, the hierarchy is determined by the order in which the sort fields are specified in the request.
Note: The Table of Contents option is available for the HTML, HTML active report, active report with Adobe Flash Player (FLEX), Excel, Default, and User output formats.
The TOC also enhances the display of groups of data. You can view one section (or page) of a report at a time, or you can view all sections at once. You can control this feature with a page break. For more information, see Customizing Report Sections for Display.
The TOC displays all values of the first (highest level) vertical sort field, as well as the values of any lower level By fields designated for inclusion. These values appear as an expandable series of links or as a series of list controls. Unless otherwise specified in the request, a new section begins when the highest level sort field changes.
The display of data for a lower level sort field is controlled by your selection of a higher level sort field value. For example, in a report sorted first by country and then by car model, if you choose Italy from the TOC for country, you will only see a listing of Italian car models in the TOC for cars. Cars produced in other countries are not displayed.
Using the TOC, you can:
The TOC itself is an object that initially appears in the upper-left corner of the report, or as one or more drop-down lists in a page heading or footing or a report heading or footing.
