BIRT Exchange Forum: BIRT Exchange Forum -> Last week in the Forums: Custom Groupings in Crosstab, Changing the Title of the Viewer, and more...

This blog series takes a look back at the past week in the forums, recalling how active they were and highlights some of the questions asked that seem to frequent the forums or other interesting topics. Forum traffic has been very high, as of late. EclipseCon is this week, so I'll be there, instead of in the forums. So, if you see a question you know the answer to, please feel free to provide your suggestions or solution. I'll be back, next week, though. As always, thanks to those users who help answer questions! It is a great help to the community!

The unanswered topic for this week is about creating custom group intervals for crosstabs. The poster has groupings they'd like to create in their crosstab so they can do aggregations over these groups. However, their groups are non-linear ranges. If anyone has created custom grouping ranges for crosstabs and has a suggestion or solution, please post in the thread.

The next topic I'll cover this week is about changing the title of the BIRT viewer. The poster wanted to change/remove the "BIRT Report Viewer" text from the title bar and page header. The solution to this is to simply use the __title URL parameter to assign a new value.

The last topic from last week is about changing colors by series in a chart. The poster wanted to know how they could specify a series to change the color of in their chart script. They knew how to change the color, just not how to do it only for a certain script. A simple snippet of code is included in the thread that should get this done.

Again, this is just a small sample of what went through the forums this past week. For more questions and answers that have been posted, check out the forums. As always, if you have a question, feel free to ask it, and if you see a question you know the answer to or have a similar experience to, feel free to post an answer or comment.
