Perform a query without reloading the report

evgeny

Hi,

I would like to know if the following scenario is possible to realize with Birt.

The user has a report with some order data and would like to "zoom in" into the report i.e. have some detailed information about an order. Is it possible to perform a query on the order specified by the user without reloading the entire report.
In other words: The report was loaded as the list of orders. It would be too heavy to load all detailed order information in the beginning and the user is just interested in the details of some orders. By clicking on an order, a query would be issued which would return the data for this particular order and put them into the report, without reloading the entire report.

Thank you for you help

Evgeny

Hi Evgeny,

Yes, you can use the Hyperlink Drill Through property on your order number... and when someone clicks on the order number, another detail report can popup in a new window. You can also have the detail information target a specific frame.
