I have a Tempo report with lot of data on the page. Is there a way user can quickly navigate to the Top or Bottom of the page by clicking on a button/ link instead of scrolling up or down? The requirement is similar to conventional webpage design where a long web page usually has a "Go to Top" icon/ button to go to top part of the page instantly.

@aviroop To the best of my knowledge, there isn't any OOTB functionality for doing so.
Assuming that there is more than one SAIL component in the interface, you can opt for one of the following work arounds:
1. By taking advantage of 'isCollapsible' attribute in Section SAIL component.
2. Simulate accordion (Reference: https://jqueryui.com/accordion/) by making use of SAIL components and logical functions.

@aviroop you can also build Wizard in SAIL & divide big form into sections presented one step at a time.

@sikhivahans: Option 1 -- What I understand is you are suggesting user to go and collapse each section manually to reach to the top of page. So for example - if there are 5 sections and all are expanded, user will click 4 times to collapse 4 sections and that way will reach to top section. -- Is this what you tried to say? If yes then its not an acceptable solution. Here we are trying to improve user experience by providing intuitive UI.
@vahluwalia: I know. We are discussing about Report here.

@vahluwalia: There is a big difference in terms of usability. If you are on 3rd page of your wizard and want to come back to page 1, you have to click twice.
There is a reason web designers give "Go to Top" button on their long web pages and the reason is to provide better user experience.

@aviroop As already said, we could work around only in two better ways and Option - 1 is OOTB functionality. But as said in option - 2 by spending some more efforts, you can implement functionality similar to accordion where only one section appears at a time and rest of them will be collapsed i.e. Let's say you have five sections on the interface, if user tries to expand 3rd section, 1,2,4 and 5 will be collapsed. Probably not the best, but can serve as an alternative until Appian provides an effective OOTB approach or a way to customise SAIL.
