Interacting with Reports in the Viewer
Filtering, Brushing, and Drilling in Reports
Depending on the interactions
that were defined by the report author, you might be able to interact
with your report in the following ways:
filter
restricts the data
that is returned from a query to a data source. Click on data in the
source report object to filter data in the target report object (or
objects). Clicking on different data applies the filter based on the
new data. To clear the selection, click in the white space that surrounds
the source report object.
brush
enables you to show
the same data selected simultaneously in two or more tables, graphs,
or both. Click on data in the source report object to brush data in
the target report object (or objects). To clear the selection, click
in the white space that surrounds the source report object.
drill down
enables you to move
from summary information to more detailed data. If the data contains
hierarchies, you can double-click on the data to drill down the hierarchy
into detailed information. When you drill down the hierarchy, breadcrumbs
at the top of the report object enable you to drill back up the hierarchy.
Viewing Links in Reports
Report objects can link
to other report objects, sections, or whole reports, or they can link
to external links. To view a link from a report object, double-click
on the report object. If there are multiple links from a report object,
then a list appears that enables you to select a link. When you are
viewing a link, the following buttons are displayed in the top left
corner:

If a report object that
you are linking to shares a data source with the current report object,
then the target report object is filtered based on the data value
that you double-clicked. If you do not want the target report object
to be filtered, you can click 
, and deselect Apply link filters.
If the data source is not shared between the two report objects, then
no additional filtering takes place in the target report object.
