Report
links allow you single-step access to a report or Web page that is
related to a report that you are currently viewing. For example, you
might be looking at a bar chart which has sales information for each
geographical region of your company. If you click the bar for the
Northeast region, then a report link associated with the graph could
take you to a different report that provides information about employees
in each region. And, if the destination report contains a prompted
filter, then it would open to a table containing only information
about the Northeast region. A link at the top of a destination report
enables you to return to the previous report. If a destination report
contains multiple sections, then you are able, when defining the link,
to choose the initial section of the destination report you want to
open.
When you
click the report link in the current report, the category values associated
with what you click can be supplied as values to the prompts in the
destination report.
