Report Assignment

You can use the report/report interface to link reports with each other. You can then navigate between reports in the report evaluation.

When linking reports, note the following:

1. You can only pass from general information to more detailed information, never the other way. So you can jump from a hierarchy report to a cost element report or line item report. You can jump from a cost element report to a line item report, but the jump back to the hierarchy report is not supported.
2. You can jump between reports at one level of detail - for example, between hierarchy reports.
3. When you create your own Report Painter, Report Writer, or hierarchy reports, the above rules apply there too. You cannot attach reports you have written yourself to the interface.
4. Jumps from PS to reports in other applications are not supported at this time.
5. Jumps to PS report are only supported from IM (Investment Management) reporting.
6. You cannot jump to other reports from summarization reports.
7. If the cursor is in a formula column and you jump to another report (for example, from a cost element report to a line item report), there is no guarantee that the report accessed will be supplied with the selections belonging to the formula column. The report/report interface cannot determine the selections for a formula column which would result from the formula defined in that column.
8. From the graphic planning board and the structure overviews, you can only access hierarchy reports from the "KP" (Projects) application.
