Hello !
We are in the process of upgrading from Upfront 6.0 to 7.1 (Series 7 version 2).
Our users have expressed SEVERE dislike of having to go through extra clicks to get the same options that exist on the bottom toolbar in V6.0 of PPLAY WEb Explorer.
For example, in version 6.0 and also version 7.0 - they had the buttons for "Number of Rows" and "Number of columns" right there on display on that toolbar. They clicked on the arrow to get the choices, then clicked on their selection, and the report refreshed automatically -- 2 clicks total!!
In the new version, they have to click(1) on the "Display Options" toolbar button to get a window to pop up, then click(2) arrow to get the choices, then click (3) on their selection, then click(4) APPLY, then close the window(5). That's 5 clicks for the same result as 2 clicks before. This is not seen as an improvement.
If we could somehow "customize" that bottom toolbar so certain things are not buried in under a menu (like you can d with Windows WORD or EXCEL), my users would be much more agreeable to the other changes.
Please help if you know of a way to customize this !
Also - Can we change the Default View so that when a User opens a cube from Upfront using PPLAY Web, they do NOT see the tree structure on the left of the screen ?? Many of users think it is nice to have that added functionality, but would prefer to open the tree when they need it, not have it as the default view.
Thanks !
