Linked Reports: Restrict Column Underlining(Hyperlink)

RSB — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:20:49 GMT

We are Using Web report studio 4.2. When we are trying to link a report all the rows across all columns get underlined representing that they are linked. The Linking works fine based on the filters applied to the report.

We want to know if there is any way that we can limit the display of the hyperlink(Underline) to the actual column that is used as a parameter to the filter of the linked report instead of all data across all the columns getting highlighted.

What you are seeing is the way that it is currently designed to work. There is a suggestion to change this behavior but there it is not assigned to any specific release.

As a work around we are trying the option provided in the sas documentation in

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/citug/61084/HTML/default/p05huc7pd2y872n18pcfumb9njj2.htm#p1ldsqxnqrqmbsn154cb81yruh6i

I have created a sample data set with a column like

' Retail '
' Private '

In the information map studio i have enabled the option "Display as Hyperlink" for this data item. However, this doesn't seem to work in the Web report studio.

Please let me know if there is something different I need to do.

The syntax for creating the link is incorrect in the documentation. Try this and see if it works
