| 10 | 10 | |
| 11 | 11 | Sub-reports are simply regular reports with one extra step. Their defining trait is the presence of a drilldown key. This is a key field that will be used by main reports to send information to the sub-report. This is done on the [[Misc tab|http://wiki.izenda.us/Guides/ReportDesign/9.0-Misc-Tab#9.2-Drill-Downs]] of the report designer. There is also a short example of how to create a basic sub-report and link it to the main report at that link. |

|
| 13 | 15 | In addition to creating drilldowns for your main report items, you can create sub-reports for [[pie charts|http://wiki.izenda.us/Guides/ReportDesign/7.0-Chart-tab#7.3-Pie-Selection]] and [[bar charts|http://wiki.izenda.us/Guides/ReportDesign/7.0-Chart-tab#7.5-Bar-Selection]] as well. Currently, these only support a single key value, specified via the Label field. These will work with reports that have one drilldown key defined, but not ones with two keys defined. |
| 14 | 16 | |
| 15 | 17 | _**Note:** Bar charts and pie charts do not support drilldown effects. They will always have the "Link" effect._ |

|
| 17 | 21 | You can also create a drilldown on the [[Maps tab|http://wiki.izenda.us/Guides/ReportDesign/13.0-Izenda-Maps#13.2-Maps-features]] that will trigger when the region is hovered over. You can learn more about the maps feature at the link above. |

|
| 24 | + |
|
| 19 | 25 | Gauges can also accept sub-reports and will use the Name field in order to select the appropriate drilldown key. See the [[Gauge tab|http://wiki.izenda.us/Guides/ReportDesign/8.0-Gauge-tab#8.4-Gauges-with-Drill-Down-Effects]] for more. You can have a drilldown effect defined here as well. Again, creating a sub-report on a gauge is just like anywhere else. They only accept one drilldown key currently as well. |

| 27 | +###Sub-reports on forms |
|

|
| 21 | 29 | Finally, you can choose to use sub-reports in your FORMS report too. You can see the [[Izenda Forms|http://wiki.izenda.us/Guides/ReportDesign/14.0-Izenda-FORMS#14.3-Advanced-FORMS-Concepts]] section for more information about this feature. Drilldowns are defined in two ways, described in the article above. Sub-reports that you specify in the form with a declaration such as "[subreports/top products by state]" do not get a drilldown key and will be treated as a stand-alone report. You can reference the column alias in order to use drilldown key driven sub-reports. |
