If you want to pass the hyperlink's value to the report's parameter, specify the parameter name in this property. This parameter will be set to the hyperlink's value before running a report. It may be used to display detailed information about clicked item.

It is also possible to pass multiple values to several parameters. If hyperlink's value contains separators (the separator string can be set in the ValuesSeparator property), it will be splitted to several values. That values will be passed to nested parameters of the ReportParameter (you should create nested parameters by youself). For example, you have the ReportParameter called "SelectedValue" which has two nested parameters: the first one is "Employee" and the second is "Category". The hyperlink's value is "Andrew Fuller;Beverages". It will be splitted to two values: "Andrew Fuller" and "Beverages". The first nested parameter of the ReportParameter that is "Employee" in our case will be set to "Andrew Fuller"; the second nested parameter ("Category") will be set to "Beverages".

Note: when you create a parameter in the detailed report, don't forget to set its DataType property. It is used to convert string values to actual data type.
