Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

In the custom report screen, the screen real estate is not efficiently used especially on window constrained on its horizontal axis: 

• the left hand side panel (display options and categories filter) is constantly display even once the report is saved
• on a big table report: the first row and breakdown columns are not freezed and the horizontal scrollbar is located at the very end of the table, not at the bottom of the window

Those two items make large table reports very difficult to use.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

My suggestions would be to:

• 1. create a report edit mode which would show the Display option/categories filter column and the top icons to switch between graph types. When not in report edit mode, those would be hidden to save some much needed screen real estate
• 2. Freeze the breakdown columns and first row of table reports
• 3. Have the horizontal scrollbar on table reports be constrained to the bottom of the window rather than the bottom of the table
