Economic Census Hot Report Issues

-- Custom tables in HR show data as left justified. Should be right justified

-- Showing a bar chart's numeric values in DF doesn't maintain the numbers when chart is in the HR.

-- Need to be able to resize the graphs to smaller than currently allowed. Also would like to be able to control the bar width and colors in bar charts.

-- If active text contains standard html formatting tags (e.g. < b >), then it should display properly in the HR (show as bold, and not show the tags).

-- Want to be able to justify text in a text box. Normal justifications - left, center, right.

-- Want to make Data Sponsor link be optional, author decides if it appears.

-- Need to make improvements to map - legend changes; handle AK and HI properly, handle N/As as a separate color/range.

-- Cannot map from a cotabulation. Want to make a map showing Sales/person (cotab econ and pop ests).

SAHIE Hot Report Issues

• The "Print Version" reports still have the "Original order" link above the table. Modified so the this text won't print out, but need to update code so that if the Sorting option on the entire table is turned off, the link won't appear.
• We have found that the Income Level labels for "At or below 200% poverty" and "At or below 250% poverty" do not get forwarded to the Printer version page. Believe it is due to the % sign being a special character. Code modified to handle this properly.
• In the ALL Counties (in the US) report, there are 6 counties whose definition changed since the Census 2000 definitions. Because our metadata handles differences over time, these counties were added into the FIPS County codeset at a much later date than the original 2000 definitions. Because of this, they currently show up at the very bottom of the list of all counties, instead of alphabetically within their state. So in the All counties report, the last 6 counties are out of sort order.
• Need to be able to sort up or down, and only sort specific columns. Need icons for the sorting options
• Ability to download a CSV file of the displayed table. The CSV file needs to eliminate any hidden columns or rows.
• Pivots added to ftfs by hand to make sure all tabulations show correct numbers. Need to be able to add pivots in the DF spreadsheet.
• Footer added in.
