Adding, moving, and deleting sections

Add a new section

To add a new section to a paginated report, use the following procedure.

To add a new section to a paginated report
  1. From the QuickSight start menu, choose Analyses and then choose the analysis that contains the report that you want to add a section to.

  2. Choose the sheet that contains the paginated report that you want to add a section to.

  3. Choose the ADD (+) icon in the top left corner, and choose Add section.

You can also add a section by choosing the plus (+) icon at the bottom of an existing section and choosing Add section.

Table showing late invoice details with options to remove page break or add section.

When you choose Add section, a new section is added to the bottom of the report.

You can't create a section inside of another section. If you select an existing section and then choose Add section, a new section will appear at the bottom of the report.

When you have multiple sections in a paginated report, they can be arranged in any order that you want.

Move a section

To move a section in a report
  1. Choose the section that you want to move, and then choose the three-dot icon in the right corner to open the on-section menu.

  2. Choose where you want to move your section. You can choose from the following options:

    • Move section to top

    • Move section up

    • Move section down

    • Move section to bottom

In some cases, you aren't able to select some of the preceding options. For example, if your section is already at the bottom of the report, you can't select Move down or Move section to bottom.

Sections are named according to their ascending order in the report. When you move a section up or down in a report, every section affected by the move is renamed according to the new ascending order.

When you delete a section from a paginated report, the names of the remaining sections may change depending on where the deleted section was located. For example, say you decide to delete Section 1. When you delete the section, the previous Section 2 will move up the report and become the new Section 1.

Delete a section
