View the report by
going to File|View Report|View Report in Web Viewer. When you click
on any of the Charts, a detail report will open and automatically jump to the
employees section, as specified in the Bookmark in the target report.
Of course, this example can be heavily modified to simplify things. The Charts
could be consolidated into a single Chart with more needles for each month instead
of separate Charts for each month. It can be done by moving the Chart into the
EmployeeNumber Group's header or footer row, and adding a group by date in the
Chart Editor Dialog under the Select Data tab. It is also possible to set the needles
to have interactivity, and to filter down to the specific user and date range by
modifying the bookmarks in the target report; but I will leave that up to the reader
to discover.

The previous example demonstrates some of the power that Charting can have with
reports, by adding both the graphical representation of data and the interactivity
for users to see the details of that data in a separate report. It also demonstrates how
to pass data through to the target report by using an expression. In the following
report, the Hyperlink will take us to an internal bookmark, which means it will jump
us to a location inside of the same report containing the details for our report.
