Year-Over-Year Report

Interface patterns give you an opportunity to explore different interface designs. Be sure to check out How to Adapt a Pattern for Your Application.

Goal

This is a feature-rich, interactive report for sales and profits by products over select periods of time. This page explains how you can use this pattern in your interface, and walks through the design structure in detail.

Design Structure

The main components in this pattern are a read-only grid and a set of text display fields that are alternately visible depending on whether local!selectedId is null.
