Enterprise, or it must be part of a stand-alone Report Application Server
environment. The Report Part Viewer displays only the objects you specify.
Like the Report Part Drilldown option, all destination objects must be from
the same report section.

Note:

When using a stand-alone Report Application Server environment, it is
recommended that all reports navigated to and from using the Another
Report Object option reside in the default Report Application Server report
directory. Placing reports in this directory ensures that the linked reports
can be easily migrated to a BusinessObjects Enterprise environment.

The DHTML page viewer also uses the Another Report Object option for
navigation purposes.

You cannot use the Another Report Object option for an entire cross-tab
or OLAP grid object; you can, however, use it for any individual cell in a
cross-tab or OLAP grid.

Work flow

between objects in different reports managed in BusinessObjects Enterprise,
it requires more set up on the Hyperlink tab. This is an overview of the steps
you have to complete to set up your hyperlink successfully.

Open the report that contains the object you want to be the destination
object and copy it.

Open the report that contains the home object, select it, and open the
Format Editor.

On the Hyperlink tab, paste the information from the destination object
into the appropriate fields.

The following procedure shows you how to do all of these steps.
