Hyperlink in Cross Tab (Hyperlink send me to a new parameter screen)

lupo

Question:
In a cross tab report, I created a hyperlink to display the details from an aggregated payment amount to the list of payments.
I would expect the proper parameters to be sent to the detail report automatically, but the BIRT viewer force me to go through an intermediate “parameter screen”

Please check attached screnshots.

1- Master Report

I created an Hyperlink in the Master Report linked to a Cross Tab field.


2- Detail Report

I have a grid that contains elements from a dataset.
I then created filters to restrict the data that will be populated in the details report


3- Report Execution in BIRT viewer
When I run the master report, the behaviour is as expected. The parameter screen is displayed and I can run the report


The master report is displayed and I then click on one of the hyperlink to check the details


When I do this I would expect the details report to be populated.
Instead, a new parameter screen is displayed (with the expected parameters value) and I have to click on OK to go to the detail report

Hi lupo,

From the sounds of it, you need to make the report parameters in the detail report not required by opening the parameter editor box and unselecting the "is required" check box. Let me know.
