The next step is to define the objects in the report that
will appear as links to the user in a web page. You start at the highest level
of summation and define the lower level of details. For this report we'll
start at the Country level. From within a country you can drill to a State or
Province. From within a State or Province you can drill into a City. From
within a city you can drill into the details records that make up the total.
