Element Details: DataLayer.Linked
 Back


Available in: Logi Info Source code name: DataLayer.Linked

A Linked DataLayer allows a DataLayer to be re-used, either from the current report page, or the previous page.

To reuse a DataLayer in the same report definition, add a child Data Layer Link element and give it an ID. Then you can use that saved DataLayer in the current report, or it can be passed to another report. Then it gets reused with a DataLayer.Linked element, setting Link ID to the ID of the Data Layer Link element.

This also works for charts, so that a chart on the current page re-uses a DataLayer. Use a DataLayer.Linked under the Chart element, setting the Linked DataLayerID to the ID of another DataLayer in the same report definition.

To pass a DataLayer to another report, set the report Target's LinkDataLayers attribute to "True". Then use a DataLayer.Linked element, setting Linked DataLayerID to ID of the the original DataLayer.

(Required) A Linked DataLayer allows a DataLayer to be re-used, either from the current report page, or the previous page. To reuse a DataLayer in the same report definition, add a child Data Layer Link element and give it an ID. Then create a DataLayer.Linked element, setting Linked DataLayerID to the same ID. To reuse a DataLayer from the calling report definition, set the report Target's LinkDataLayers attribute to "True". Then use a DataLayer.Linked element, setting Linked DataLayerID to ID of the the original DataLayer. This also works for charts, so that a chart on the current page re-uses a DataLayer that's on the same page. Use a DataLayer.Linked under the Chart element, setting the Linked DataLayerID to the ID of another DataLayer in the same report definition.
