I am using microstrategy 7.2.0. I want to know whether I can call another microstrategy report while drilling from one microstrategy report? Or is it possible to specify / associate different template while drilling from one Microstrategy report?

My second question is how to show different attribute form header in the report. Suppose I have an attribute which consists on three forms (elements) Lets say Wo Number, WO Desc and Wo Task Title. The attribute name is WO TSK DTLS. Now when I am drilling down or attching that attribute in a report it is only displaying the WO TSK DTLS, instead of that I want to show WO Number WO Desc WO Task Title. Highly appreciate any help on this..

 
1)yes you can, search documentation on "drill maps." You can specify which attributes or templates to drill to from each attribute on each report.
2)RMC on attribute header to change forms.
 
Hi, Thanks for the help. But can you explain it more detail, or if you can send me some documentation or ref for both that will help me. Once again thanks for your help.

 
try reading the manual first...page 277 of the advanced reporting guide.
 
Hi, I have gone through the documentation. I have created one drill map from drill map editor and I have created one template and create the drill path which is a custom type and then i set the action type as to teplate and I have given that template name there and the set name as the hierarchy name. Then I have created a report and try to use the hierarchy but it is not using the template. Can anyone please let me know step wise how to create the drill map and associate it with a template and then how can I call that template from another report. Thanks a lot in advance for any help on this.
 
you need to associate the report with the drill map. in the report editor find a menu choice about associating drill map and pick the drill map you just created.

Classes are a good option too, this board is usually devoted to things that are not covered in training classes...
