Change the View Option for Drill-Through Reports

In the Sterling Warehouse Management System, it is not possible to navigate from a drill-through report to the parent report.

About this task

Perform the following steps to open a drill-through report in a new window:

Procedure

  1. Launch Report Studio from the Cognos console.
  2. The Report Studio window is displayed with a list of reports. Click a report. The corresponding report is displayed in the work area. Right-click the data item in the report that you want to open in a new window and select Drill-Through Definitions.
  3. In the Drill-Through Definitions window that is displayed, select the Open in new window check box, and click Save.

Results

After this configuration is performed, it is possible to open a drill-through report in a new window.
