Adding Hyperlinks to a Visualizer Report

Use report-level drill maps to add a hyperlink to a report. Set a Hyperlink at the end of a drill path. For more about using a hyperlink in a drill path, see Report-Level Drilling.

To add a hyperlink without drilling to different attributes, create a drill path that contains a single node.
