Auto Linking makes it easy to connect reports and charts in your development environment, expanding the reporting capabilities of your organization. Using Auto Linking, you can dynamically link HTML5 charts with a single report or chart of any format, based on their common sort (BY) fields and parameters referenced in any filters. It is this commonality that dynamically links content in your WebFOCUS repository, allowing you to discover new possibilities in your data, and explore new relationships within your reporting enterprise.
In addition to the basic Auto Linking functionality that is available in WebFOCUS Designer, you can also add optional parameters to your Auto Link charts, extending the capability of this feature. An Auto Link enabled chart can link to any target content that you are authorized to access that satisfies the sort (BY) field to the Auto Link target report filter parameter requirement.
A thumbnail is an image associated with a file that can be used to visually identify it in your WebFOCUS repository. When you create a thumbnail for a chart in WebFOCUS Designer, the thumbnail shows a snapshot or small image of the chart that is then used on the WebFOCUS Home Page. The following image of the grid view on the WebFOCUS Home Page shows some files that use thumbnails created in WebFOCUS Designer, and some files that use the default thumbnail.
