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.
6. 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.
7. 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).
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 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 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.
