Building an Interactive Dashboard

Question

I'm using Apex4.1 on a hosted platform.
I'm trying to build a business application and the client wants a Dashboard.
Here is the best way I can explain it:
The dashboard displays a series of rows in the table. When you click on the "edit" button, it runs a query and displays it data on a report. How would I build this?
Let me explain it a different way:
The home page shows a table report with Column 1, Column 2, Column 3.
I want to make it so where you can click any ROW and then it goes to a different page that shows all of the data So the Home Page you can just see 3 Columns, but the next page will have all the columns. Does that make sense?

Hi Danny,
I got your requirement.
assume we have following columns in a TABLE
c1, c2, c3, c4, c4, c6first report will display only c1, c2, C3 columns. when user edit the link second report will display c4, c5, c6 columns. lets see how to do it.
create a report page and query should be something like
SELECT C1,C2,C3
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE CONDITIONNow we have the first report created. lets make a editable link column so when user edits it user will be redirected to the second report page. this is how you have to make a editable link column
Edit your IR
go to report attributes
there you can see the comuns displayed in your IR and a edit link in the left side
edit the column which you want to make a link column
Scroll down and go to "Column Link" region
In the "Link Text" field either give a label for the link or select the required link column edit icon.
Set the target as "Page in this application"
Give the page ID to which user should be redirected when edit link is clicked. here you have to give the 2nd page's Id that you are going to create.
Apply changesNows lets create second report page with something similar to the following query,
SELECT C4,C5,C6
FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE CONDITIONThats all, You are done !.
Hope this helps.
