Is there any way to present GI detail vertically?

I’ve been asked to provide a sidepanel on a few screens that will display the Remit To address of the vendor on the current screen.  That part is pretty easy and I’ve already provided that to the users.

But the sidepanel is displaying the results of a GI (the Sidepanel technically points to a Dashboard that has a Data Table widget on it that displays the GI results).  The results are displayed horizontally, and since it’s displaying 5 fields, the results are kinda squished.  I’d love to display the results vertically, like:

Addr 1: 123 Main Street
Addr 2: Box 17
City:  Anytown
State: PA
Postal Code: 12345

I’ve tried a pivot table but that’s not really what pivot tables are designed for.

The only solution I can think of is developing a custom form screen and tying the sidepanel to that.  That kind of form screen is pretty simple...but I feel like I’m going down a rabbit hole for something that doesn’t justify that much work.

@lairdtim Convert the existing Generic Inquiry (GI) into a report using Report Designer, and configure the report to be displayed as a side panel.

This will allow the information to be presented in a vertical layout, making it easier to view the details alongside the main screen.

@lairdtim The data table will display just like the GI results, but have you looked into a PowerBI widget? You might be able to make one which looks like what you’re looking for.

We’re just starting to play with those.  I figure we could make it work, but getting that data into our data warehouse and PowerBI may be a bigger lift than I’d like.  We capture Vendors already, but getting all the way down to default location and remit to address is a few more levels deep.

 

ranjithduraisamy72 ‘s recommendation of doing it in Report Designer is an interesting one; I’ve never tried that.  I’ll give it a shot.
