Depopulate the checked boxes

In both Reports Beta and Data export the boxes for the fields in the lists are all checked. Since I generally want to use no more than 5-10 in any given report, it would be far less time consuming to check the boxes I want than to uncheck all the one's I don't want. Or is there a way already to uncheck all the boxes at once?

    This has been implemented in GLM 4.0.0.

    Hi Karen,

    Sorry for my delay in responding to your post.

    We are currently working on a Reports Beta face lift. A few of the items as well as others that we are working on are:

    1. The ability to deselect columns under the layout tab instead of having to manually un check those boxes.

    2. A possible option to filter by certain criteria prior to pulling back data. Just as you have alluded to above.

    There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes with these changes so I'm not sure when these changes will be available. Stay tuned for more information.

    Thank you,

    Betty

    I think this would be a great addition. Right now, we have to manually "un-check" all the boxes . . . .usually I'm only wanting to look at a few fields, and have to "un-check" more than half the fields.

    Using Joan's suggestion above, will likely improve the initial run-time for reports.

    For example, let the report run the first time with no data in it (it takes time for Foundant to pull in ALL the data). In reality, I'm not going to use ALLL the data for any report. Let the user then build the report, sort, columns, criteria, etc. . . . .and then populate the data. I think it would make the whole system run more quickly.

    Hi Joan,

    Thank you for posting a message to the Idea Lab.

    In Export Data if you deselect the box at the bottom of the first column "All Columns" this will deselect all of the columns and therefore, you can then select the ones that you want.

    In Reports Beta there is not currently a way to deselect all of the columns when you click on the Layout button. However, once you have created a report with the columns that you want visible then you can save that report so that you don't have to pick and choose the columns each time you want to pull that report.

    Please let us know if you have further questions or comments on this topic.

    Thank you,
