How do I configure drill-down reports of static and dynamic reports?
Original report: Static report
If a drill-down report is possible for a static report, defines the author by assigning a report template to a permission group or to a user. The author sees the drill-down report templates intended on the list. The author can set single check marks.
In general: If the author assigns reports directly to the user (author, user or team leader), the user can open these. The user cannot select drill-down report templates on static report templates. This is only possible on dynamic reports.
Original report: Dynamic report
When the author has selected a static report as drill-down report in a dynamic report, the user can open the static report, if the user can open the superior dynamic report. This is also valid for the drill-down report from dynamic to dynamic. The user can open a report (static or dynamic) as drill-down, if the auhor has configured the drill-down report on a dynamic report template, which is assigned to the user – on the user or via a permission group. The user hasn’t to have a permission on a drill-down report.
