BookmarkLink (Jump to Bookmark) Navigation


BookmarkLink ( Jump to bookmark ) simplifies navigation for large reports . This action allows navigation to a bookmarked line or page of the report.

To create a BookmarkLink navigation, the first step is to set a bookmark. A bookmark can be set for any report item using the following:

  • Properties window The Properties window is normally docked in the lower-right corner of Report Designer. If you do not see this window, press F4 or use the View, Properties Window menu.

  • Navigation tab of an item's Properties dialog box The Properties dialog box can by accessed by right-clicking on a report item and selecting Properties from the short-cut menu. The Navigation tab of an item's Properties dialog box is shown in Figure 14.1.

An example of a bookmark is included in the Actions -- Bookmark-Toggle-Document Map -- Products.rdl sample for this book. After Bookmark is set, Report Designer adds the following RDL:

 <Bookmark>    ={Expression}  </Bookmark> 

The next step is to create a BookmarkLink action, which performs the navigation to the bookmark set in the previous step. The BookmarkLink action can be created only for Textbox and Image report items. To create a BookmarkLink action, enter the Jump to bookmark expression on either of the following:

  • Action dialog box The Action dialog box can be accessed by clicking the ellipses " (...)" next to the Action property in the Properties window.

  • Navigation tab of an item's Properties dialog box The previous step describes how to access the Navigation tab.

After the BookmarkLink action is set, Report Designer adds the following RDL:

 <Action>   <BookmarkLink>        ={Expression}   </BookmarkLink>  </Action>
