# Opening a Child Report In a New Tab

Welcome to Example LabWhile Example Lab projects are resources for public use, articles and assets are not actively maintained. Screenshots and features are from the specified version below. These references may become dated as new versions are released.

## Overview

| ## Example Lab Details |
| --- |
| **Version** | 6.19 |
| **Root Folder** | ExampleLab[OpeningAChildReportInNewTab] |
| **Modules** | N/A |
| **Dependencies** | Parent Report[Report], Parent Page [PageData] |

The following Example Lab demonstrates how to configure a **Child Report** to update and open in a separate browser tab, based upon **Row** selection made on a **Parent** **Report**.

---

## Explanation

The Example Lab below contains a **Parent Page** and **Report** that displays the "First Name" **Data Field** of its **Data Source**; a **Folder** **Entity** called "Person". Selecting a value on the Report, opens its subsequent Child Report that has been configured (via a **Filter** using the **Get Values From Other Reports Runtime Behavior** on the Child Report)to display the remaining Data Fields of the Folder Entity ("Last Name" and "Age" respectively.). This action is achieved through the use of a **User Action Flow** that utilizes an **End Form Session** step that has been configured to open the URL of the **Child Page**. In order for this step to properly work, the URL field must be configured with the proper **Base Portal URL** and location of the Child Page,
