Removing a Column from a Report DataSet
At Report DataSet Definition creation, in the Report DataSet structure, you might need to add elements that are necessary to retrieve other elements. These elements are available in the structure for this purpose but you might not want them to be included in the Report DataSet.
You can make them not available in the Report DataSet. In that case, the data is not retrieved.
For example, with a Report DataSet Definition based on the Application MetaClass, you can add:
- the Technologies used for these applications.
- the Vendors of these Technologies: you need to go through the Technologies to retrieve the Vendors.
You may be interested in the Vendors of the Technologies but not in the Technologies themselves. You can make the "Technologies" column not available in the Report DataSet.
To remove a column from a Report DataSet:
1. Access the Report DataSet Definition properties.
2. Select Definition.
3. In the bottom list, in the Visible field of the column you do not want to be available in the Report DataSet, select "Never".
For example: for the "Rating", in its Visible field select "Never".
4. At Report DataSet generation, the column is not displayed, and cannot be added. The data is not retrieved.
