Defining displays for users
The Display options in query definitions specify which columns and fields to display, and in what order. You can use content items to define where and how you want to display the query results for your users. These content items allow you to:
- Display query results in a simple form view: Summary Display content item
- Merge query results into your site with whatever title, parameters, columns, labels, and sorting you need: Query Menu content item
- Enable exports to Word, Excel, PDF, and CSV (comma-separated values): Query Menu content item
Note: Query Menu results exported to Excel are stored as text; this includes numeric data. If you want to convert numeric data from text to numbers for a desired operation, the data will need to be manually formatted.
- Allow users to select which query they want to view: Query Menu content item
- Display query results in a chart, such as a pie chart or a bar graph: Query Chart Viewer content item
- Display a group of product or profile images based on the results of an IQA query: Related Items content item
For an example of using the Query Menu content item for a results display, see Displaying completed orders.
