Assigning custom data objects to quick report columns

You can assign custom data objects that you want to be opened when you click a column in your quick report.

1. Open the Format page of the Create New Quick Report wizard.
2. Expand either a grouping or detail column node and select Click Events node from the tree. The Click Events page of the Create New Quick Report wizard contains two separate pages:
   • Drill objects page on which you can assign objects to the selected column.
   • Column prompts page on which you can specify variable values that must be passed to the assigned object.
3. On the Drill objects page, click Add new drill object and browse to the required object in a repository or file system. If the selected object contains prompts, they are displayed in the Prompts Assignments list.
   Note: Several objects can be assigned to one and the same column. If you click the column, the first object in the list of assigned objects will be opened. To change the order of the objects by clicking Move Object Up or Move Object Down.
4. You can specify column parameters that will be passed to the assigned object on the Column prompts page.
5. To add a column prompt, click Add new column prompt and specify its parameters including column prompt name, type, and value. Available type options are:
   • Constant to use a constant value
   • Column to set the column that will provide the value
   • Input prompt to specify the prompt of the query on which the report is based that will pass the value to the drill object you assign to the selected column.
6. Assign the created column prompts with the required prompts of the data object in the Prompts Assignments area on the Drill objects page. You can try to assign prompts automatically by clicking Automatch columns by name. If the names of a column prompt and an object prompt do not coincide, you can assign them manually.
7. If you have specified all the required parameters for the quick report, click Finish to close the Create New Quick Report wizard and display the quick report on the Design page of the editor where you can manually customize the look of the report.
