  • Create a report series
  • Allow users to navigate easily across reports that are related and have matching structures 

Creating a report series allows users to navigate easily across reports that are related and have matching structures (Table of Contents). For example, this could be a selection of reports covering the same topic, in the same style but for different regions.

Once set up, a user could be reading a chapter in one report and intuitively navigate to the equivalent section of another report in the series.
