Mapping Table Dialog Box

You can use the Mapping Table dialog box to define the mappings based on which to pass on-screen filters in the primary report to the linked report, or to customize mappings between Current Field/Category/Series of the primary report and Corresponding Field of the linked report to apply dynamic filter conditions between the two reports. This topic describes the options in the dialog box.

Designer displays the Mapping Table dialog box when you select Mapping Table or Mapping Table button in the Insert Link dialog box or Edit Link dialog box.
