3-40 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Figure 3–15 Sorting Example: Two Measures on Column Edge If the measure labels are on the Rows edge and you sort by a year, then the top-most measure is used for sorting. No ambiguity exists if the measure labels are on the Columns edge and you sort by a year. How Will Sort Specifications Created in Previous Releases Be Upgraded? In previous releases prior to 11g of Oracle BI EE, you could create sorts for columns in views. If you upgrade from a previous release prior to 11g, then you might notice that the views are sorting the columns slightly differently, which is likely due to changes in the default sort order. In addition, in the current release, the following apply: ■ If a primary sort was specified on a measure column in the previous release prior to 11g, then when the analysis is upgraded, that primary sort is ignored for a pivot table and the default sort order for pivot tables in the current release is used. ■ A pivot table always sorts each edge from outer to inner by default, which differs from the previous release prior to 11g. ■ Pivot tables and graphs use only the sort order that is specified on the Criteria tab, except for measure columns. Sorts that you specify for measure columns on the Criteria tab are ignored. Saving Views You can save a view that you are working with at any time. To save a view, you must save the analysis.

Each compound layout contains one or more views arranged in either a square or a rectangle. The compound layout has four boundaries upper, lower, left and right.
