Configure boaReport Reserved Column

When the boaReport reserved column is included in a Horizontal or Vertical View, a Report icon displays. If the value of boaReport is 1, the icon is enabled; if 0, the icon is disabled.

When generating a report on a page, the report is filtered down to a single record. If the record links to any other pages and the Report Follows Link column property is enabled, the report generator follows the link and includes the downstream pages in the report.

For example, assume a Customers page links to an Orders page which is linked to an Order Details page. The Report Follows Link option is enabled on all linked pages. The Customers page has a boaReport column. When the user clicks Report on the Page Options drop down on the Customers page, a report for a single customer displays. The report contains information for that customer, including orders and order line items.
