Drill Down in Export To File

Is it possible to implement a Drill Down when exporting to any of the various file types PDF, XLS, HTML, etc?

We have a report that needs to print N parent records and then a series of images as children. We have a nice drill down component that hides the images, and it works really excellent from our product (thanks again for a great library).

Our customers would like to export this to their customers, but obviously when all the images are printed at once, it becomes a rather cumbersome file.

I know this is a long shot, but I wanted to tap your knowledge before giving up.

Thanks again.

  • In short, can we export this to some sort of file and have the images behind a link, or a drill down of some kind?
  • Hi Dusten,

    The RB Drill Down requires a live report, there is no support for export drill down to file.

    The Label and DBText elements have a HyperLink property. PDF, Html, Xlsx support the hyper link. So you could consider generating a main Html file with hyperlinks to html files that display detail (images).

  • Thanks Nard, that makes sense. We were hoping we could get away with a single file (images embedded, but out of the way unless from user interaction).

    Thanks again
