Parent Data Link

 

That property allows specifying the parent data link to be used to edit a Graph, a Sub-Report, a Text/Query, a Cross-Table or a Cube in a report.

 

New Feature in version 4.10: please note that if the graph is fed by data from the current report then the parent and child fields will not be used.
