Reports with Bookmarks
Show AllShow All

You can assign a bookmark ID to any report control and link a text box or image to it to allow users to easily navigate between items in the finished report. The bookmark link works like a hyperlink, except that clicking a bookmark link jumps to another page or area of the report instead of to a Web page.

This walkthrough explains the steps involved in setting up bookmarks and links.

The walkthrough is split up into the following activities:

Note:
  • This walkthrough uses the Factbook sample database. By default, in ActiveReports, the Factbook.rdsx file is located at [User Documents folder]\GrapeCity Samples\ActiveReports 9\Data\Factbook.rdsx.
  • Although this walkthrough uses Page reports, but this can be implemented using RDL reports also.
Note: If you have already created the report outlined in the Reports with XML Data walkthrough, you can open that report and go directly to the Assigning a Bookmark ID section of this walkthrough.

When you complete this walkthrough you get a layout that looks similar to the following at design time and at runtime.
