If you want to add another object to the Fields to Display area, select it in the Available Fields list
and drag it into position.
Note:
• The position an object has in the Fields to Display area determines how it appears in the Report
Part Viewer; top to bottom in the Fields to Display area equates to left to right in the viewer. Use
the arrows above the Fields to Display area to change the order of objects. (Note that a
programmer can alter this default behavior through the PreserveLayout property of the Report
Part Viewer.)
• The Fields to Display area can contain only one section at a time. If you try to add a second
section or an object from a second section, it replaces any existing section in the Fields to Display
area.

Click OK.
You have established a hyperlink from your report's home object to a destination object or objects. In
the Report Part Viewer, you will see the home object first, and when you click it for drill down, you will
see the destination object(s).
18.2.1.4 The Another Report Object option
The Another Report Object option lets you define a hyperlink path for linking objects in the same or
different reports. If you are defining a hyperlink path to a different report, that report must be managed
in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, or it must be part of a stand-alone Report Application Server
environment. The Report Part Viewer displays only the objects you specify. Like the Report Part Drilldown
option, all destination objects must be from the same report section.
Note:
• When using a stand-alone Report Application Server environment, it is recommended that all reports
navigated to and from using the Another Report Object option reside in the default Report Application
Server report directory. Placing reports in this directory ensures that the linked reports can be easily
migrated to a SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise environment.
• The DHTML page viewer also uses the Another Report Object option for navigation purposes.
• You cannot use the Another Report Object option for an entire cross-tab or OLAP grid object; you
can, however, use it for any individual cell in a cross-tab or OLAP grid.
Work flow
Because the Another Report Object option allows you to create hyperlinks between objects in different
reports managed in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, it requires more set up on the Hyperlink tab. This
is an overview of the steps you have to complete to set up your hyperlink successfully.
• Open the report that contains the object you want to be the destination object and copy it.
• Open the report that contains the home object, select it, and open the Format Editor.
• On the Hyperlink tab, paste the information from the destination object into the appropriate fields.
