There are a few options in context menus that are available to nearly all components including the following: Delete: Deletes the component Layering: Allows you to control the layering of the component, see Layering components in the editor

The component properties sidebar provides fine grained control over component positioning and sizing, as well as some options that are only available to specific components which depend on what component type is currently selected.

Supported data sources: Qlik Sense, Sisense Visualizations allow you to re-use visualization content from your data connections. If you are using a data source that supports visualizations, you can retrieve visualizations from the data connection and use them in templates. Visualizations are automatically updated whenever the template is executed. Add a visualization from a data connection # Locate the visualization you want to use from within the data source sidebar Drag the visualization into an empty area within the editor stage The visualization will automatically preview within the editor stage

Straight tables support several concepts of grouping, including group top and group left. Once a table is grouped, it can be used as a group section, which is a concept in ConnectReport that allows you to create repeating areas in templates filtered on specific values of the table. Applying group left on a table # Left groups allow you to prevent redundant/repeated field values from printing below each other in a given table.

Tables in ConnectReport are powerful template components that allow you to build paginated data output. Insert a table # There are several ways to insert a table into the editor stage. From a given data source, you may drag in a specific field (dimension or measure), or an entire table onto a template page. Using the live preview, you can quickly view the output of the table. Format a table # To format a table:

Static tables allow you to arrange summary level information in a tabular format within your reports. Unlike regular tables in ConnectReport, where fields are repeated for every value in the data set, content from data connections (such as dimensions or measures) used in data grids is not repeated. If you want to display multiple KPIs, measures, or dimensions that are filtered down to a single value, data grids may be useful.

Supported data sources: Qlik Sense Pivot tables allow you to summarize and aggregate data in unique ways to highlight desired information for your report audience. ConnectReport supports pivot tables for Qlik Sense data connections. Insert a pivot table # From the data connection sidebar, under Components, drag and drop a Pivot Table into the editor stage. Drag the dimensions into the desired position. If you want the dimensions to present as rows, drag them into the left column of the pivot table.
