CASCADE PRINTING Are you a ProDiver user that spends a lot of time changing QuickViews in order to save each view as a different PDF report to send to your staff? Time consuming, right? Newsflash — you can save time (and frustration) by using the Cascade Print feature. Click here to learn how.

CREATING A 2-LEVEL HEADER This technique will be helpful for Power Users. You may have a report with repetitive column names. Using this tip you can display the heading on two rows to improve readability for a cleaner report deliverable. This is known as a ‘2-Level Header’. Click here to learn how.

Diver Power Users! You may want your calculations to update after selecting a time period in a QuickView.

Learn how.

THE COLOR OF PIE CHARTS ProDiver Users, ever notice duplicate colors in your Top '10' pie graph? Sixteen (16) colors are available in a Graph view of your data. These colors are assigned to the row values as determined by the original Model sort order. These colors repeat if there are more than sixteen rows in the Dive window, e.g. the color on row 1 is the same as row 17. In any dive, the color assignment does not change. This allows QuickViews to control the pie chart without identical values changing colors between views. Click here to learn how
