Note: Once the report is embedded as a button, click the X icon ton the top-right corner to automatically save the configuration and navigate back to the page builder.
Additionally, you can configure
display,
action, and

Understanding panels page.
2. Additional configurations
Note: The below sections are applicable only when a Creator report is embedded as it is onto a page. If it is embedded as a button, read on how the
display,
action, and
style properties for the button can be configured.
Once a
report is embedded in its original view (and not as a button) within the page builder, you can enable/disable live mode actions such as bulk actions, advanced search, and more. This can be done from the
Report Embed Configuration pane that appears when you add or edit the element.
1. Toggle the relevant buttons to enable or disable the following properties for the embedded report:
- Actions - The individual actions of adding, editing, deleting, and duplicating records.
- Search & Filters
- Search - The advanced search query builder to filter records from the report.
- Retain Changes - This feature allows the end-user to save the filtered records to the current report, create a new report with them, or create a custom filter using the query builder's input.
- Print & Export - The options of printing the records in a list or summary layout, and exporting them in the formats XLSX, PDF, HTML, XML, JSON, CSV, TSV.
- Records count - Once enabled, the number of showing records against the total count is displayed at the bottom of the embedded report element.
- Bulk Actions - The bulk actions of editing, deleting, and duplicating records.
Note: By default, all properties except Retain Changes is enabled.
2. Choose to enable
Allow public access for the embedded report. This ensures that the embedded report is visible when the current
page is published, given that the report is published as well.
By default, Allow public access will be disabled, which can be switched if required.
Note: If the report is embedded as a button instead, the
Open URL action must be configured, referencing the published component’s permalink.
3. Click Done to save the configuration.
Further, you can configure a filter for the embedded report element which will list only matching records in the live mode of the page. The steps to set a filter are mentioned in the next section.
2.2. Show filtered records on the embedded report
Once a report is embedded in its original view (and not as a button) on a page, follow the below steps in the Report Embed Configuration pane that appears. Alternately, you can also double-click on the embedded report to open its configuration.
1. Navigate to the
Filter tab in the
Report Embed Configuration pane and click
Add Filter.

2. Set a
condition based on which the records from the embedded report will be filtered.
- Choose a field whose field values will be evaluated from the Select Field dropdown.
- Choose an appropriate operator from the Select Operator dropdown.
- Supply values, choose system variables, or insert page variables using the format "input.<page variable>".
Add more criteria if required and click Done.
Note: Once the condition is saved, click on the
Filter box to edit it again.

3. Click Done to save the configuration of the embedded report and land in the page builder.
