The Ad Hoc Editor is the interactive designer for creating and editing an Ad Hoc view, where you can explore and analyze data from your Topic, Domain, or OLAP data source. Ad Hoc views can also be used to create content for reports.
This chapter discusses the Ad Hoc Editor and Ad Hoc views, and includes the following sections:
| • | Overview of the Ad Hoc Editor |
| • | Working with Tables |
| • | Working with Charts |
| • | Working with Standard Crosstabs |
| • | Working with OLAP Connection-based Crosstabs |
| • | Calculated Fields and Measures |
| • | Using Filters and Input Controls |
| • | Creating a View from a Domain |
| • | Working with Topics |
After you create an Ad Hoc view, you - and other users with the proper permissions - can run the report, then further refine the displayed information and personalize the look of the report in the report viewer. For more information on that process, see Running Reports and the Report Viewer.
