link between different tabs within same webi document ?

.

hi,

Can we create a link between multiple tabs ( reports ) within a single webi document ?

I have two tabs in a single webi document , one at level of market segment ( block 1 , tab1 ) and another at level of cost center ( block 2 , tab 2) and I want to drill down from Market segment to cost center within same webi document .

Yes. The functionality is much improved in 4.1 SP6 (released last month), allowing input controls to work across tabs.

Prior to this version, you'd need to save the report then click the hyperlink to jump from tab to tab, something SAP finally released was impractical.

How can i use hyperlink to jump from one tab to another ?

Use the hyperlink wizard and you can choose the tab within there that you want the hyperlink to navigate to. The downside is that you must save the report before navigating.

Mark ,

I have a  same report variable In webi document 1 and webi document and how can I pass the value to report variable from one document to another using  linking ? 

Note  :its not a  document prompt and its a group variable created on a dimension .

when I try to use document link I could see only document prompts to pass value . Is there any way we can filter report variable values ?

Hi,

1. Create two tabs in a webi doc.

2. In first tab create summary report and in second tab create detailed report that links to summary report.

3. In summary report click on the column you want to hyperlink between tabs. create hyperlink with the settings attached in my file.

4. what ever the filters that we entered in summary report we can access  at detailed report by enabling left pane of the webi document.the option highlighted at left pane of screenshot 3

Hi Babji,

Are you using 4.1 Support Pack 6 version? If so, what are the parameter you have used to configure hyperlink to link 2 tabs. I tried it with normal way. But, the document is getting opened in a current window only, not the tab.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Rogerio ,

In your case you passed a threshold value for conditional formatting .

I have a " group variable  ( gvar_function) "  in both the documents and lets say I follow your process and send group variable value from webi  report 1 to webi report 2 using "dummy prompt " , how can  I use that value ( of gvar_function )  to filter the report , I can certainly use in conditional formatting but how can use it to filter a block ,chart or entire report

Hi,

Try ,

assuming your filtering the block by [gvar_function] as a single value and its a tetxt object:

[passed gvar] = UserResponse("dummy")

[TEST] = if ([gvar_function] = [passed gvar];1;0)

and filter the block/report for [TEST] = 1.

Hi Pramod,

You can directly drill donw from market segment to cost center on single tab only.

Why do you need to have separate tab for same.

Just create single tab & drag only market segment . also provide drill option on same so whenever user want to see data cost center wise then they will drill down the report.

Thanks,
