I. Principle
Parameters play a key role in the hyperlink, and the parameters of the target table are equivalent to the room number of a room. Therefore, when defining a hyperlink, the parameter name defined is equivalent to the key of the room. Only when the key is matched with the room number, you open the door and get what you want. Therefore, when we set the hyperlink, the parameter name must be consistent with the parameter name of the target table, so that we can link to the target table and view its contents.
II. Set passing parameter
The parameter name should be exactly same as the parameter name in the linked report template, including the upper case and lower cases.
The value can be string, formula, date and etc.
III. Inherit report parameters
If the parameters of the current template are the same as those of the target template, you can check the inherited report parameters directly instead of redefining them one by one.
IV. Parameter transfer mode
You can select get or post as the delivery method, as shown in the following figure:
GET：Efficient but not safe, the passing parameter will be shown after the URL, and the length cannot exceed 1k.
POST: Inefficient but safe, no limitation to parameter number and length, and it will not be shown after the URL.
V. Display report parameter pane
Check: if the connected report has a parameter pane, it will be displayed when link to this template.
Don't check: if the connected report has a parameter ipane, it will not be displayed when link to this template, but the data will be displayed directly.
