This document describes how to add a cross-reference to your report. A cross-reference is simply a link whose target is located within the current document, which allows you to establish easy navigation through a report. In this example, we place a link at the bottom of each group, leading to the beginning of the report.
To demonstrate this feature, use a report with grouping similar to the one created in the following tutorial: Grouping Data.
To create a report with cross-references, do the following.
Select the Report Controls in the Report Header band, Properties Panel, Design category and set the Name property to reportTop.
To accompany the existing Group Header with the corresponding Footer, add a Group Footer band.
Then, drop a label onto the Group Footer band. As it will be the link, change its Text to Top of Report,
Expand the Navigation section and set the Navigation Target property to _self and the Navigation URL property to reportTop.
The report with cross-references is now ready. Switch your report to the Preview mode and view the result.
