Use caution with this option. No restriction on data content will be applied as may occur once a use is logged in. Whatever the report returns will be displayed to the user.
An example of how this option might be used is to provide a list of company locations with address and telephone numbers. This information would be general and not necessarily pose a security or data risk.
Report/Chart format is the default “row & column” presentation.
Enable Paging is used in conjunction with Page Count if you want to ensure that a specific number of records are displayed on each page.
If this option is selected, then the desired number of records must be entered in the “Page Count” field that follows.
If this option is not selected, Versago will present the data in a continuous flow as the user scrolls down the page.
