Re: types of sources that can be linked

Can I link two reports each based on a different IM?
Further, if so, can we have an OLAP source IM link ( drill down) to a relational type info map?
thanks,
jp

Hello jplarios,
can you tell me what version of Web Report Studio you are using?

Jenn,
we are using 3.1

For your first issue, the two linked reports do not have to be based on the same information map. However, if you are passing prompt values from one report to the other, then each map must have data items in common that can be associated with the prompts.

For the second issue, if I understand the question correctly, the answer is "no", you cannot link maps together. It is possible to set up an olap information map to drill through to detail data. The detail data would open in a separate window as a flat table.

BICUSER,

I meant link two reports ,one from an OLAP source and the other from a relational. is this possible?

Yes, you can link from an OLAP report to a relational report, but not vice versa.

Also, fyi, here is a sample on linking: http://support.sas.com/kb/26/174.html
