## Linking reports

In most cases, your reports are affiliated with one another, with each report emphasizing one or more aspects of a bigger picture. Relationships can be set up in order for users to browse from one report to another through the relationship "channels" created.

You can achieve an inter-report relationship network by setting up the join/filter/link conditions between two reports in the same catalog. You can use one report to hold comprehensive report data, and another to show detailed information relating to a specific topic. Then, when you view the main report in JReport DHTML, you can gain access to the linked or detail report by clicking a trigger, which is an object defined in the main report to load a linked or detail report. Usually, you can use a field (DBField, summary, formula, parameter, or special field), an image or a label as a trigger object.

Pick a task from the following:

- Linking a report to another report
- Linking a report to a detail report
