After opening a Pre-Defined Report you may be able to rearrange its data display in ways that are more meaningful to you. This can be done by 'dragging and dropping' headings from column to row or row to column.

1. Place your cursor over the Page Item you want to rearrange.

Click on the left most edge of the Page Item you want to move and hold down the left mouse key.
You can move items up to the Page Item bar by clicking on the column and while holding down the left mouse key, drag it up to the Page Item bar.

NOTE: If no Page Item bar exists between the report title and the column names, you can insert one by navigating to: View/Page Items.

4. Drag the item to position you desire and release the left mouse key.

5. Any column may be moved by clicking and dragging its header to the desired location.

6. You can sort data by clicking the column heading you want to use as a sort key then select Tools ® Sort or click one of the two sorting icons (Low-to-High or High-to-Low) as shown below.
