Defining Drill To Content Links

You can define links to drill to Narrative Reporting library files, such as Reports, or to URL links, such as an external website.

To define a drill to content link:

  1. Select the area of the grid that you want to add a content link to (cells, rows, columns, or member heading cell).

  2. In Grid Properties, click drill to icon.

  3. Click add.

  4. In the Add Drill To Content dialog box, enter a descriptive name for the drill to and, optionally, a description.

    Note:

    The Applies To field displays the area of the grid that you selected to add a content link to. It is read-only.

  5. In the Link To field, perform an action:

    • Select Library File, and then click Browse and select a file in the Narrative Reporting library as the target. If you select a report, specify if you want the target to display as PDF or HTML.

    • Select Web URL and enter the target URL, and then specify whether you want to hide the URL parameters in the Web URL.

      Note: Web URL does not support passing the POV or SSO tokens to the target URL.

      See Passing the Point of View to the Target Report

      .

Drill To Indicators and Tooltips

When a drill to link applies to a cell, row, or column, a grey triangle is displayed in the upper right corner of the row or column header or the cell. When you hover your mouse over the indicator, a tooltip displays the list of drill to links that apply to that cell, row, or column.
