Dynamic Filtering Using Element Links

When you create an Element Link between a parent and child elements, you can select values in the parent table or chart to filter the child report elements.

For example, you can display corporate data as a pie chart. To make the document even more powerful, you can link each slice of the pie chart to detail report data in a table.

Each time you select a pie chart slice, the table is dynamically filtered.
