Overview of Report Linking

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 that 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 could open a table containing information about the Northeast region only. 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 that you want to open.

When you click the report link in the current report, values associated with what you clicked can be supplied as values to the prompts in the destination report.
