Data

Data Source
|
All reporting objects must point to a data source. If you only have defined one then this will be automatically selected.
|
|
Value
|
The aggregate function used to calculate the cell content (Sum, Count etc.) and the field or field expression that the function applies to.
|
|
Filter

Can set dynamic filter
|
This means that a selection within the object causes the filter event to be broadcast to other objects within the report that have the Respect Dynamic Filter set.
|
|
|
Multiple dynamic filters are applied with the AND or the OR operator depending on the selection made in the data source.
|
|
Respect dynamic filter
|
Causes the object to listen to any drill-down filter that is caused by the user clicking on a report object that has the Can Set Dynamic Filter option selected. If you do not want the object to filter its data when the drill-down occurs then turn off this property.
|
|
Override previous filter
|
By default, each object that you click on for a drill-down filter remains in effect when subsequent objects are selected. In other words, the drill-downs you select are cumulative. However, you may want a drill-down selection to clear all other existing drill-down filters before performing its own drill-down. In this case, you would check the Override Previous box.
