Hyperlink Help iReport 5.1

[mreed_1]

I've read a lot of help/tutorial/answers on this topic but I'm still lost in the dark. It may be due to a lack of sleep on this project. In very specific terms here is where I am and what I need...Sorry if this is jumbled...

 

I have a report called "Requested Letters" that breaks down a few tables. I'm trying to get a column of ID's ("$F{REQUEST_ID}") to be links over to another report "Dereg Letter".

Requested letters asks for an account number already and Dereg letter is asking for a request id(From requested letters eventually).

Both reports are on Jasperserver in the repository already and in the same folder/path  /words/are/changed/for/security/reasons ("reasons" being either report name).

so....

I know I right click on "request_id" and select hyperlink.

I go to "Link Parameters" and set up the field for "request_id"(named "request") to be one parameter but after that is where I go blank.

Input controls for Dereg Letter are already set on the server as "request" and are not mandatory, visible, or read only.

 

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
