• To add a data field (that is, an object from a dataset report), type the
object’s name within braces, such as {Revenue} or {Region}. The
name must match either the name of an object in a dataset or its alias.
If either name contains spaces or special characters, you must type it
in square brackets [ ] within the braces; for example, {[Manager
Name]}.
A
special character is any character other than a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9,
#, _, and . (period).
• To add an auto text code (that is, document and dataset report
information), type the code within braces. As with data fields, if an
object’s name contains spaces or special characters, enclose it in
square brackets within the braces. For background information about
available auto text codes, see the MicroStrategy Report Services
Document Creation Guide.

underlined, indicating that it is a hyperlink.
Linking to documents and reports from a
mobile document
A link is a connection in a document to another document or a report. A link
lets a user execute another document or report (the target) from a document
(the source), and to pass parameters to answer any prompts that are in the
target. You can link from a text field or an image.
For example, if a user is viewing a document containing regional sales, he
can select a particular region to execute another document that displays sales
for the stores in that region. This is a form of drilling, where the user has
drilled from region to store. The source document could also link to the
underlying dataset report, to display profit and cost values as well.
To create links in a document that is viewed on a mobile device, you must use
the hyperlink properties and create the link URLs manually, by using the
object ID and link syntax.
Once you have created a link to execute a report or document, you can add
parameters to the URL to perform additional tasks, such as providing
answers for prompts in the linked document, or specifying which layout to
display.
