Hi,

Concept 1:

Parent Active Report with List and Child Active Report with List, if i drill through with List and unchecked the 'open in new window' in Drill Through Definitions.It's working fine and it's opening in the same window.

Concept 2:

Parent Active Report With Visualization and Child Active Report with Visualization
, if i drill with visualization and unchecked the 'open in new window' in Drill Through Definitions.It's not working fine and it's opening in new window.


Please let me know do i need to do changes in properties in order get the drill though in the same window.


Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

When you refer to "drill through" are you talking about a traditional drill-through definition or the "Application Drill-Through" property?

If the first, can you explain why you need to drill through to a different report? With an Active Report this means you will be re-generating the MHT for the target report every time, and it also means the active report cannot be consumed offline with working drill-through (which sounds like a sub-optimal choice). Normally you would use a tab control or deck within a single report and use active report variables to navigate the user to a different tab/card within that report. Is there a reason you are not using this approach?

Hi MFGF,

Thanks for your reply,

Actually my view is i want to use Active Report Embedd code in Dashboard webpage(https  Page)

if it can drill through from Parent to child for visualization and i can use HMTL tool as Button for getting back to Parent Report

It is working for List but For Visualization...

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

That doesn't really answer the question of *why* you need to drill through to a separate report? Why not just provide the visualization in the one single report? That way you don't need to worry about how a child report opens or how to navigate back...
