KB39841: How to use Edit Links to pass all the elements of an attribute from a parent to a child report/document.

SYMPTOM:
Users can utilize the 'Edit Links' functionality in Strategy to pass the 'selected' elements of attributes from parent to child reports/documents. However it it is also possible to pass 'all' elements of attributes from a parent to a child report/document.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

• Create a parent report with Year attribute (R1) and a child report with the Quarter attribute and a Year attribute element list prompt (R2).
• Edit the parent report, click on 'Edit Links' and target the above child document using 'Run this report or document' and select your prompt to 'Answer Dynamically'
   
  

• To pass a specific year, execute the parent report and right click on year and click the link, e.g. for 2012, click on the 2012 element and this year  will be passed to the prompt in the second report.
   
• To pass "ALL" elements of the attribute, right click on the 'Year' attribute header, go to Links and select the hyperlink previously created; all elements will be passed to the child report.
   
  

Users can also select multiple years and pass them at the same time using CTRL, right clicking and selecting Links as shown above.
