5.3.3  Passing Multiple Parameters in a Hyperlink

The previous examples described how to pass a single parameter to a specified report or web page. It is also possible to pass multiple parameters in a hyperlink.

The procedure for creating multiple-parameter hyperlinks is the same as described in the previous section. If there are multiple attributes listed in the 'Value' panel of the 'Hyperlink' dialog box, these can all be selected and mapped to different parameter names.

If the hyperlinks are targeting a report, the multiple parameter names specified in the 'Hyperlink' window must be identical to the corresponding parameter names specified in the report. If the hyperlinks are targeting a web page, the multiple parameter names specified in the 'Hyperlink' window will be the parameter names used in the hyperlink URL, with parameter-value pairs separated by the ampersand (&) symbol, for example,

http://remotehost?param1={value1}&param2={value2}&param3={value3}

where param1, param2, param3 are the parameter names specified in the 'Hyperlink' window, and {value1}, {value2}, {value3} are the values of the attributes selected in the 'Value' panel.
