Title: Refreshing only one page in a multi-page report
Post by: jonky on 26 Nov 2012 07:46:01 AM
Hi all,

I'm building a report with several pages. On the second page I have a crosstab with two interactive parameters. When I change those and submit to change e.g. the column to sort by, I land on page 1 again.
Is there a way to go to that particular page directly? Or would you suggest that I change my overall report design instead of nesting pages with prompts?

Your help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
jonky

I am not sure on skipping to a particular page, but are the sub-reports all related such that they belong on one report? I would be inclined to put them on separate pages. You could use text-objects as drill-throughs to link with the other reports.

Another option would be to create more of a dashboard-style portal page, where each report was in a separate viewer with a navigator to go between them.

Thanks for the reply!

I did put them on different pages in the Report Studio, which doesn't help at all. The reports interact as if everything would be on one page.
I will follow your second tip though and create multiple reports, linking them with drill-throughs.
