You can also add hyperlinks to charts with Pentaho Report Designer.
A chart can link to the three following location types;
| Location Type | Description | Generated Link Example |
|---|---|---|
| Pentaho Repository | Creates a context link on the Pentaho server | http://localhost:8080/pentaho//conte...ditor?command= open&solution=steel-wheels&path=analysis &action=Product%20Line%20Sales% 20Trend.xanayzer&line=Classic%20Cars |
| URL | Creates a link that goes to a defined URL | http://www.myApplication.com/search?...&myLine=Trains |
| Self | Creates a link to a custom-built web application and refers back to itself as a link. This option is rarely used. | N/A |
The following link locations depend on their chart type:
| Chart Type | Location of Link |
|---|---|
| Bar | Bars |
| Area and line | Markers |
| Pie and doughnut | Slices |
| Bubble | Bubbles |
In the chart editor, you have several Chart Field options. Depending on the chart type, there are various internal chart fields that can be used by the link and are only available when used within the Edit Chart dialogue box. Go to to see the following options:
