Creating dashboard links
When you add one or more filters to the dashboard, they need to “talk” to the reports.
PerformancePoint uses links for interaction between objects. Here's how to create a link:
1. Hover your mouse over the filter that you want to use as a source for the link and select
Member Unique Name.
The mouse pointer becomes a cross-hair, indicating drag-and-drop functionality.
2. Drag the filter to the “drop fields” area of a report.
A dialog box opens.
3. Specify a field for the Connect To value. Click OK when you're done.
Assuming you used the same dimension in your filter and your report, you see that dimen-
sion in the Connect To list; select that one.
