Add a bookmark so that users can quickly move
from one part of a report to another. For example, a list report contains
many rows of data. You add bookmarks so that users can move to specific
rows.
You can also drill through to another report.
If
you want to use page numbers to move from one part of a report to
another, you can also create a table of contents.
Bookmarks
work for reports produced in HTML format or PDF. In HTML format, they
work best when viewing saved report outputs, as the entire report
appears in a single HTML page. When reports are run interactively,
more than one HTML page may be generated, and a bookmark works only
if the target exists in the page currently being viewed.
If
you run a saved report using a URL, and you specify a bookmark within
the URL, you always go to the first page of the report. The bookmark
defined in the URL is not honored. For more information about using
URLs to run reports, see the Administration and Security Guide.
Tip: You can reduce the number of HTML pages
generated when a report is run interactively by specifying a value for the Rows per
page property for a data container in the report.
Tip: The Briefing Book sample report in the GO Sales (analysis) package includes
bookmarks.
Procedure
- Click the Toolbox icon
, drag a Bookmark 
object
to the report.
-
Click the bookmark and, in the Properties pane, set the
Source type property to a source type.
|
Source type
|
Description
|
|
Text
|
Creates a static bookmark using a text value.
For example, a list has sections and you want users to jump from each section to the top of the
report.
|
|
Report expression
|
Creates a dynamic bookmark whose values are derived from an expression that you define.
|
|
Data item value
|
Creates a dynamic bookmark that has data as possible values. This is useful for creating a
context-based bookmark.
For example, a list has sections and you want users to jump from the top of the report to a
specific section.
Note: This source type appears only if the bookmark is inserted next to a data
item.
|
|
Data item label
|
Creates a bookmark that has the label of a data item as its value. Use this source type to jump
to the first occurrence of a data item label.
For example, a list is divided into sections using Product line. You want users to jump to the
first product line section that appears in the list rather than to a specific section, such as
Camping Equipment.
Note: This source type appears only if the bookmark is inserted next to a data
item.
|
|
Member caption
|
In a crosstab, creates a dynamic bookmark that uses member captions as possible values.
|
|
Cell value
|
In a crosstab, creates a dynamic bookmark that uses cell values as possible values.
|
- Set the property that appears under the source type you
chose to the bookmark value.
For example, if the source type is Data item value, set the
Data item value property to the data item.
-
Click the object that will jump to the bookmark, from the report object toolbar, click the
More icon
, and then click Drill-Through Definitions.
For example, click a data item, image, chart, or text item.
Tip: The object can exist in a different report, so you can jump from one report to
another.
-
Click the New Drill-Through Definition icon
.
- Click the Bookmark tab.
- Click Source type and click one
of the source types described in step 3.
Click the source type to use to produce the value needed to jump to the bookmark. For example,
click Data item value if you want the value to come from a data item such as
Product line.
- If you clicked one of the following source types, specify
the value to use to jump to the bookmark.
- For Text, click the ellipsis button next
to Text and type a text value.
- For Data item value or Data item label, in the
Data item list, choose a data item.
- For Report expression, click the ellipsis button next to
Report expression and define the expression.
