Creating Hyperlinks to User Console Solution Repository Content
This feature allows you to create hyperlinks in an Analyzer report that will link to content in the User Console Solution Repository. This is used to open a related report from the source report in order to obtain more information.
The instructions below show you how to create hyperlinks to reports inside your User Console Solution Repository. You must adjust the instructions to work with your own data.
Note:Hyperlinks take precedence over the drill down feature in charts. That means that if a hyperlink has been defined and you click on a bar in a bar chart, for example, the data associated with the hyperlink, (not the drill down chart), displays. See Drilling in Charts for details about drill down feature in charts.
| 1. | Create a simple report. |
| 2. | Select a row label or column header, right-click, and choose Hyperlink. The Link on (Name of Field Level) appears. |
Note:In the example above, Department is a row label and Region is a column header. Under these, are the individual members that belong to that field/level (for example, Executive Management, Finance and so on are members of Department).

The Link on Field Name dialog box appears. If a destination parameter that matches the field name in your Report is found, field name is associated to that parameter. Click the checkbox next to the destination parameter name to enable it.
If there are more parameters available for linking in the report or other content, they are also listed. You can override the values to the available parameters or leave them as is. You can also define how hyperlink content will display (Open in New Tab, Window, Current Window). Finally, you can enter a Tool Tip that displays when users hover over the hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks appear in your report. Click on the links to make sure the report associated with them appears correctly.
