Users can define which fields are used in the report, the order in which they appear, and if you want them to display as a row, column, or aggregate. 

## Navigation Pane Display

### Column Labels (ACROSS) 

Add fields to this pane to create column labels in the report.

### Row Labels (BY) 

Add fields to this pane to sort the report in the order the fields are listed.

### Measure 

Add fields to this pane to control the action for each row. A measure is a numeric value that you may want to aggregate. **Sum **adds up the values of all the rows that have matching data in the fields listed in the BY pane. **Print** displays each row, sorted by the fields listed in the BY pane.

1. To modify the display commands, click on the dropdown arrow to the left of the **Measures** label.
2. Click to select **Print** from the dropdown menu.
