Manage the amount of information displayed in a report by hyperlinking from one report to other related reports, charts, dashboards, and URLs. For example, you can present basic information in an easy-to-comprehend report with hyperlinks to reports that contain details.
For charts, hyperlinks take precedence over the drill-down chart feature. For example, when readers click a bar in a chart, it displays data related to the hyperlink you define, not the drill-down chart.
For reports, you can define a hyperlink on any row label or column header. When
you define a hyperlink, the link is applied to all members within the row or column. In this
source report, hyperlinks have been defined for the Positions row level and the Region column
level. Notice how each of the row and column members have a blue underlined hyperlink.
When defining hyperlinks to a destination report that has parameters, you can map the row and column levels in the source report to parameters in the destination report. With this function, you can constrain the hyperlink result to display only data for the mapped parameters. If you do not restrain the results, then no filter applies and all the data appears.
For example, you can create a hyperlink in the source report for all the members
in the Position row labels, and constrain the displayed data to only
that related to each position and its department. To do this, you map the
Department and Positions row levels in the
source report to the Business Unit and Job Title
parameters in this destination report.
When the reader clicks on the Administrative Assistant position within the Finance department in the source report, it looks like the
example below:
Each parameter added to the mapping further constrains the data. You can map any row levels that appear to the left, and column levels that appear above the member data.
