Grouping Columns

Column groupings determine how IPP groups and totals information. It is a convenient way to create a many:1 relationship within your reports. It is best to limit grouping to one or two columns. For example, you can configure the Invoice report results based on the PO number the order was invoiced against. If you add Sub-total as a column, you can group by Sub-total as well.

 

Managing Column Access

The Disburser users with the Report Wizard Administration permission assigned to one of their roles use this feature to limit access to certain columns for users assigned to a specific role. IPP divided the column selection page into sections that correspond to the report types.

 

To restrict column access:

1.      From the Analysis tab, click the Report Wizard sub-tab.

2.      Click Manage Column Access. The Assign report columns to role page appears.

3.      From the Role list box, select the role you want to configure for specific column access. IPP refreshes the page and displays the Select the report columns page.

4.      Select any of the following in each report section:

Deselect All – Users assigned to the selected role cannot view any of the columns in this report section.

Select All (default)- Users assigned to the selected role can view all the columns in this report section.

Deselect All and then select specific columns - Users assigned to the selected role can view only the selected the columns in this report section.

Click Submit. Users with the selected role now have access only to columns assigned to the role.
