Context Report Part option scenarios
When pasting linking information for a Report Part, the Context Report Part
option mainly affects the data context of the link; the Select From field (the
report URI) and the Object Name field are always the same for any of the
choices available in the Paste Link list. This section provides various
scenarios and describes how the program creates a data context for each.
Scenario 1
If your source report contains data (that is, if the report is in Preview view),
the Context Report Part data context (in the target report) is the source
report's Preview data context for all children of the selected field. For example,
you might see this in the Data Context field: /Country[USA]/Region[*].
Otherwise, the program uses the source report's Design view data context
as the Context Report Part data context in the target report.
Scenario 2
If your source and target reports are the same report, and the object you
choose as your source is from the Preview view, when the target object you
choose to link to is in a higher level than the source object, the data context
is left empty. For example, when the source data context is /Country[Aus
tralia]/ChildIndex[5]
, and the target data context is /Country[Aus
tralia] , the Context Report Part data context is left empty.
Scenario 3
If your source and target reports are the same report, and the object you
choose as your source is from the Preview view, when the target object you
choose to link to is in a lower level than the source object, the data context
pasted is a Design view data context (in the form of a formula). For example,
when the source data context is /Country[Australia], and the target
