Navigating Viewed Reports :: SAS(R) Web Report Studio 4.2: User's Guide

About Navigation Features

A report might have these navigation features:

Group breaks divide report sections by distinct category or hierarchy level values. A table of contents is available for navigation.
A report might be divided into one or more sections. Each section can use a different query method and have a different layout.
A report might include links to another report or to a Web page.

If you view a different section and then return to a section that contains group breaks, SAS Web Report Studio displays the most recently viewed group break category.

View Different Report Sections

A report can be divided into one or more sections. Each section can use a different query method and have a different layout. To view a report section, complete either of these tasks:

Use the navigational box in the right corner. Enter a number in the box to change sections.
Select ViewSection and then select the section that you want to open.

If you return to a previously viewed section that contains group breaks, SAS Web Report Studio displays the most recently viewed group break category.

Follow Links to Other Reports or to a Web Page

Reports, stored processes, tables, graphs, geographical maps, images, or pieces of text can contain links. If linkable, text or the data cells in a table are underlined. For graphs, you must know whether the markers are linked or not. You also must know whether there is a link in a geographical map.

Note: The links in a stored process cannot be created in SAS Web Report Studio. The links have to be added when the stored process is created in another product, such as SAS Enterprise Guide.

When you follow a link, to another report or to a Web page, the way they display is different. If the report contents open in the same browser window, there will be a link to return to the source report. However, a Web page will open in a new browser window, so there will not be a button or link to return to the source report.
