Design Mode

Design Mode is a tool that lets you manage the refresh behavior of an Exploration View.

In an Exploration View, Design Mode prioritizes the structure of the Exploration View.

When Design Mode is on, you must manually refresh your Exploration View to update the structure and data of the view.

When Design Mode is off, the Exploration View is refreshed automatically when it is changed.

Note: The Design Mode functionality applies only to Exploration Reports.
