What does "Design Mode" do when creating a report?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

From what I can see, "design mode" surpresses the values being displayed when editing an existing report.

Does it serve any other purpose?

Many thanks

Hi Neil

The design mode supports creation of a report without executing it by default. The default behaviour executes the report automatically after every change to the report.

If you are designing a broad and wide report, and have huge data set that s loaded which takes some time to execute, then design mode comes to the rescue to speed things up.
