  • Key Concepts: 
    Container layout is a feature of the BW-BEX Business Explorer that allows users to create and manage multiple views of data in a single window. It enables users to quickly switch between different views of the same data, allowing for more efficient analysis and reporting. The container layout also allows users to customize the look and feel of their reports, making them easier to read and interpret. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use the container layout feature, users must first create a new report in the BW-BEX Business Explorer. Once the report is created, users can select the “Container Layout” option from the “View” menu. This will open a new window with several options for customizing the report. Users can then drag and drop different elements into the container layout, such as tables, charts, and text boxes. Once all desired elements are added, users can save their report and switch between different views of the data with ease. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a container layout, it is important to keep in mind that each element should be placed in its own container. This will help ensure that each element is displayed correctly and that all elements are visible when switching between different views. Additionally, it is important to remember that each element can be customized with different colors, fonts, and sizes to make the report easier to read and interpret.
