Repeaters
Repeaters are used to repeat e.g. rows
and columns in a Microsoft Excel worksheet. A row/column will be repeated based
on the display item selected for the repeater. For example, if the row repeater
selected is account, then the report will display all the accounts available in
the database It is possible to define several repeating levels for the same
repeater.
Type of Repeaters
There are four types of repeaters supported by IFS Business Analytics:
- Inner Repeaters: An inner level repeater should always be defined within an outer level repeater. The main purpose of using an
inner repeater is to repeatedly generate information within an existing repeater.
For example, company A has account groups 1,2,3 and each account group
includes accounts within them. You first apply an repeater to show the account
groups and then assign another repeater within that repeater to show information about
the accounts.
- Outer Repeaters: The outer
repeater is the repeater which contains the inner repeater.
- Structure Repeaters: The structure repeater reports are based on defined structures in IFS
Applications.
- Sheet Repeaters: The sheet
repeater reports display the selected display
item in worksheets according the report design.
