Scrollable Area Height & Width Property for Crosstabs, ie Freeze Row/Column Headers

The list data container has a property for Scrollable Area Height. The freezes the column headers and allows the user to scroll throught the data with the column headers staying visible. This functionality works in interactive and classic report viewers.


This Height property should be available in crosstabs, along with a new Scrollable Area Width property. These would work the same way as the list equivalents. This would allow a user to move through crosstabs larger than a screen size and still see the column and row headers.


The old classic report viewer had a freeze column headers functionality available that did something similar. But this is not available in interactive viewer. It also has to be switched on every time the user ran the report. The scrollable properties are automatically switched on every time the report is run.


With current CA functionality large crosstabs are difficult for users to comprehend, its a case of either see the data or see the headers of the data. This can lead to people misreading the report contents.

    Je pense que cette option est indispensable dès que les tableaux dépassent la taille de l'écran

    je crois que cette demande est réccurente depuis plusieurs années , sans action de la part d'IBM

    Mes utilisateurs se dirigent vers d'autres outils plus conviviaux

    I think its a must have option for Crosstabs as well

    Otherwise, we had to get the user to do it every times he runs the report which is pretty annoying or put some Javascript in the report to achieve it which can go wrong time to time.
