 +=====Configuration of Link Types===== 
 + 
 +====Report Setup====
  
 The **Report** link is the execution of a Versago report. The concept is like the Sub-Reports function described earlier, except that the report being opened does not necessarily need to be connected to the main report, as it is in the Sub-Reports. Using a Link rather than a Sub-Report is sometimes helpful if having the child results open in a new browser tab will make the results easier to use. The **Report** link is the execution of a Versago report.

-===== Crystal Report Setup =====+====Crystal Report Setup====
  
 The **Crystal Report** action provides a way to execute a Crystal Report for presentation to the user. An example of how this could be used is where the main report is a list of customer invoices.

 Crystal Reports that use a specific value for execution (e.g. an invoice number) must have a parameter in their definition. The Link Parameters will show the parameter(s) as Destination Field(s) that are mapped to a Source Field from the main report. Crystal Reports that use a specific value for execution (e.g. an invoice number) must have a parameter in their definition.

 A **Bizweaver Webservice** link allows a user to execute a Bizweaver workflow from a report using the Bizweaver API.

-The “Destination” value is the string that calls the Bizweaver web service and passes any parameters that are needed.
