When designing a Summary View, Zoho Reports offers a wide range of options to customize the view to suit your needs. In this section we will discuss about various options provided by Zoho Reports to customize a Summary View that you create.

Customizing the Appearance of a Summary View

Zoho Reports allows you to customize the appearance of the Summary View (like adding description, hiding row numbers etc..).

To customize the appearance of the Summary View, follow the steps given below:

General Tab

  • Specify the Title and Description in the corresponding fields under the General section.
  • Under the Layout & Display section, you can customize the following options:
    • Hide row numbers: Select this checkbox if you do not wish to display the index number for the rows. By default, this will not be selected.
    • Wrap text in Column Headings: This wraps the text in a column header to next line in case the column headers are lengthy.
    • Repeat group label value in each row: Select this option in case you wish to repeat the group label for each row. (Check the snapshot below)

 

    • Set default column width to: You can uniformly resize the columns by selecting this checkbox and then specify the required width in pixel in the provided field. You could also choose to apply this new width to the already resized columns using the Apply to manually resized columns checkbox.
    •  Display 'Unknown' value as: Null or empty value present in the underlying data of the Summary View will be displayed as -No Value- by default. You can specify an alternate value that could be displayed instead of this in the Display 'Unknown' value as field.
