User`s guide

Note:

The Available Fields area does not show suppressed report objects.

In the Available Fields area, select the section or report object(s) you want to use as your drill down

destination.

Tip:

Use the Report Explorer to quickly identify the default names assigned to each of your report

objects. To open the Report Explorer, click its button on the Standard toolbar.

You can add all the objects in a section by selecting the section node. If you expand the section

node, you can select one or more of the objects that it contains.

Use the arrow buttons to move the selected section or object(s) to the Fields to Display area.

For ease of identification, the program creates a section node in the Fields to Display area. This

node contains the objects that you selected in the Available Fields area.

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 Business Intelligence platform, 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.
