Using Drill Through

Drill Through provides a way to easily relate the data in separate reports within a PDF-formatted document. In the Document Composer you can internally link reports using the Drill Through Destination property.

Note: Reports that you wish to set Drill Through Destinations for must be created with Report Painter. Hand coded reports will not work correctly.

Procedure: How to Set the Drill Through Destination

The following is an example of how to set the Drill Through destination for a report component in the Document Composer.

Create a PDF compound document in the Document Composer and place all of the report components on the canvas. Select a report that has DRILLTHROUGH syntax specified.
Select the Drill Through Destination drop-down menu. The list displays all the other report component names on the document. Note: If the report that is selected does not have DRILLTHROUGH syntax specified then the Drill Through Destination drop-down menu will be deactivated.
Select the destination report for the Drill Through.
