Lists

Use this list to select an existing drill link to edit or delete, or to rearrange the order in which multiple drill links are displayed in the worksheet. Use the up arrow and down arrow buttons next to the list to rearrange the order in which Discoverer presents multiple drill links when a drill link icon is selected in a worksheet.

New Link

Use this button to display the "New Link dialog", which enables you to add a drill link to a worksheet item. You can add multiple drill links to the same worksheet item.

Edit Link

Use this button to display the "Edit Link dialog", which enables you to edit the currently selected drill link.

Hint: When you display the "Edit Link dialog", Discoverer does not allow you to change the drill link type (that is, you cannot change a worksheet drill link to an Internet page address, or change an Internet page address to worksheet link). To create a drill link of a different type, click New Link to display the "New Link dialog" and create a drill link.

Delete Link

Use this button to remove the currently selected drill link from the worksheet.
