You can specify a default hyperlink for a dimension in a report, instead of going to each report containing that dimension and enabling the hyperlink functionality. Default hyperlinks are configured in the schema.

Perform the following steps to create default hyperlinks:

  1. Open the Mondrian schema file in which you want to activate the hyperlink feature.
    Note: The Schema Workbench tool is recommended for editing schemas.

  2. In your chosen dimension, add a new annotation named AnalyzerHyperlink.
  3. Insert the desired hyperlink for the selected dimension as the CDATA attribute.
  4. Save your changes to the schema file.
Note: In this example an annotation was created on the Customer dimension, and the hyperlink associated with that dimension is http://search.yahoo.com/search?p={Customer} Dimension values are case sensitive, so the dynamic value needs to exactly match the dimension. In this example customer will not work.
