  • Publication number: 20150032721
    Abstract: In an example embodiment a sender report containing multiple rows and/or columns of information drawn from a data table may be displayed to a user of a machine. A user may select a portion of the displayed information. A sender adaptor may extract report-to-report selection criteria from the selected information. A receiver adaptor may identify other data tables where information related to the report-to-report selection criteria resides. If such information resides in multiple data tables, the receiver adaptor may join the multiple data tables into one or more data tables. The receiver adaptor may convert the report-to-report selection criteria into selection criteria for the identified data table(s) or joined data table(s). The selection criteria may be passed to a generic receiver report adapted to retrieve any information from any data table(s). The generic receiver report may retrieve information according to the selection criteria and display the information to the user.
