You can enable or disable the following advanced data options in Available Data in the report design area of BIRT Studio:
Modify enables the user to change the data set by joining it with one or more information objects.
Synchronize Data Sets enables the user to update the data set in the report design with the current data in the information object on the volume.
Figure 4‑7 shows the data options in Available Data.
Figure 4‑7 Advanced data options
By default, these data options are disabled by default and they are in effect only when the data sources are information objects. The Modify and Synchronize Data Sets buttons do not appear unless enabled by configuration.
You can enable these options by editing attributes in one of Java Components’ configuration files, functionality-level.config. For information about all the functionality options listed in functionality-level.config, see “Actuate Java Components configuration.”
Listing 4‑4 highlights in bold the advanced data option that can enable the advanced data option user interface buttons.

Unlike the functionality options you set in erni_config.xml, the options you set in functionality-level.config apply at when a user logs in, not at the application level. The Information Object integration service must be enabled for the buttons to function.
Modify enables the user to change the data set by joining it with one or more information objects.
