Drill Through from Master Report to Target Report

When setting up a drill through option in my master report, it seems that when I generate the link to the target report, I do not get to see the parameters needed from the target report (the list of parameters is empty).
Do I need to setup something additional on the master report? On the target report? Or on a more general level?

If your target report has parameters needing to be satisfied at runtime, then you would see them when setting up the drill through.
 
It is possible your target report has parameters setup in the design but a problem with the report (syntax, etc.) is preventing Cognos 8 from having visibility to those parameters when setting up Drill Through.

You need to set up the parameters on the target report and then try to drill-through from the parent report.

As mentioned by the previous poster. You have to set the parameters in the Target report.

Then go back to your Master report and set the drill through parameters that points to the target report parameters.
