Title: How to call parent report from child report
Post by: tushar gaurav on 23 Jul 2014 07:45:31 AM
how to go to parent report from child report ?
e.g suppose I have three reports i.e.
1.Parent report which contain product line data.
2.Child report which contain product type data.
3.Grand Child report which contain product name data.
Now when we apply drill through in these report we can drill down easily from Parent report to Child report to Grand Child report.
But how can we move upwards i.e from Grand Child report to Child report to Parent report??
Here we need to move up as per the data filtered..

Hi,

When you have drilled through from one report to another, there is a "Previous Report" button available at the top of the Cognos Viewer. All the user needs to do is to press this:
