Add a bookmark so that users can quickly move
from one part of a report to another. For example, a list report contains
many rows of data. You add bookmarks so that users can move to specific
rows.
You can also drill through to another report.
If
you want to use page numbers to move from one part of a report to
another, you can also create a table of contents.
Bookmarks
work for reports produced in HTML format or PDF. In HTML format, they
work best when viewing saved report outputs, as the entire report
appears in a single HTML page. When reports are run interactively,
more than one HTML page may be generated, and a bookmark works only
if the target exists in the page currently being viewed.
If
you run a saved report using a URL, and you specify a bookmark within
the URL, you always go to the first page of the report. The bookmark
defined in the URL is not honored. For more information about using
URLs to run reports, see the Administration and Security Guide.
Tip: You can reduce
the number of HTML pages generated when a report is run interactively
by specifying a value for the Rows Per Page property
for a data container in the report.
Tip: The Briefing
Book sample report in the GO Sales (analysis) package includes bookmarks.

Procedure
- From the Toolbox tab
, drag a Bookmark 
object
to the report.
- Click the bookmark and, in the Properties pane,
set the Source Type property to a source type.
Source type
|
Description
|
|---|
Text
|
Creates a static bookmark using a text value.
For
example, a list has sections and you want users to jump from each
section to the top of the report.
|
Report Expression
|
Creates a dynamic bookmark whose values are
derived from an expression that you define.
|
Data Item Value
|
Creates a dynamic bookmark that has data as
possible values. This is useful for creating a context-based bookmark.
For
example, a list has sections and you want users to jump from the top
of the report to a specific section.
Note: This source
type appears only if the bookmark is inserted next to a data item.
|
Data Item Label
|
Creates a bookmark that has the label of a data
item as its value. Use this source type to jump to the first occurrence
of a data item label.
For example, a list is divided into sections
using Product line. You want users to jump to the first product line
section that appears in the list rather than to a specific section,
such as Camping Equipment.
Note: This source type
appears only if the bookmark is inserted next to a data item.
|
Member Caption
|
In a crosstab, creates a dynamic bookmark that
uses member captions as possible values.
|
Cell Value
|
In a crosstab, creates a dynamic bookmark that
uses cell values as possible values.

- Set the property that appears under the source type you
chose to the bookmark value.
For example, if the source
type is Data Item Value, set the Data
Item Value property to the data item.
- Right-click the object that will jump to the bookmark and
click Drill-Through Definitions.
For
example, right-click a data item, image, chart, or text item.
Tip: The object can exist in a different report, so you can
jump from one report to another.
- Click the new drill-through definition button
.
- Click the Bookmark tab.
- Click Source type and click one
of the source types described in step 3.
Click the
source type to use to produce the value needed to jump to the bookmark.

want the value to come from a data item such as Product line.
- If you clicked one of the following source types, specify
the value to use to jump to the bookmark.
- For Text, click the ellipsis button next
to Text and type a text value.
- For Data Item Value or Data
Item Label, in the Data item list,
choose a data item.
- For Report Expression, click the ellipsis
button next to Report expression and define
the expression.
