Drilldown Navigation

Question

Hi,
I have a pivot table that drill down from 5 items. The last level is ID, I would like to link this last level with another report passing the ID as parameter.
The field ID is not pulled in the report items, but the hierarchy is defined and this is currently the last level. I have tried to link this with another target report but this does not work.
I pulled in the field ID in the criteria and have hidden the field, in column format, value interaction I have set this to link to the target report. In the target report I have set the field ID is prompted.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The way navigation works is you build the highest level report with all columns the user wants to see. On the column you built for drill down, Market, instead use Value Interaction>Navigation to go to the next level report. This "next level report" you will also have to build with all columns you wish to see and the Market column. When the user clicks on a value in the Market columln in the top level report, it will take him to the next level report which has Sales Person information and an "Is Prompted" filter on the Market column. You would continue this down to the whatever level of detail is necessary and then at the bottom most report, you can have a navigation from that report to a completely different report if you wish.
You would not use the drilldown hierarchy for this report, again, because you have the criteria that at the lowest level, clicking on a value should take the user to a completely different report. When you use drill down, you have to define the hierarchy in the BMM layer and once built, that is the drill down. You can't "customize" it.
