Join nested page sets

If you have nested page sets in your report, define a master detail relationship between them to see data in the nested page set that is related to the data in the parent page set.

For example, you have a page set that shows pages of product line information. The page set contains a nested page set that shows pages of product type information. For each product line page, you want to see the related product type pages, as shown in the following example:

Product line_1

  • Product type_1
  • Product type_2
  • Product type_3

Product line_2

  • Product type_4
  • Product type_5
  • Product type_6
