Along the top of the panel, there is a tool bar and two drop-down menus.
- The first drop-down menu allows you to reset the view type. Use this menu to select Table, Chart, or Crosstab. You can change the view type in the Ad Hoc Editor during the design or when you reopen the design for editing.
- The next drop-down menu contains options for displaying a subset of the available data (Sample Data), all available data (Full Data), or none of the available data (No Data) in the view. Using the sample data can make the design process quicker by loading less data. Use the subset for initial design; use the full set for refining layout elements such as column width. This drop-down menu is not available for charts, which use all available data.
- By default, the editor displays only a smaller, sample set of the data in the table. Use the drop-down menu to select Full Data to view the full set of data.
