Create a Visual Analytics url with parameters to a specific section

Joël_k — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 08:49:26 GMT

I want to create a link to a certain section of my VA report with some parameters allready in place.

Passing the parameters is described here

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/vaug/68648/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p12ka7e26e9sz3n16utqdf2iz702.htm

and here https://blogs.sas.com/content/sgf/2015/09/16/accessing-va-reports-with-parameterized-urls/

I managed to link to the report using the described format:

https://SERVER/SASVisualAnalyticsViewer/VisualAnalyticsViewer.jsp?reportName=NAME&reportPath=PATH&PARAMETER1=VALUE1&PARAMETER2=VALUE2

but i cannot link to a specific Section. Adding &section=viXXX does not work. I always end up at the first section.

To help others out: you have to use the tag &_vaSectionName=viXXX instead at the end of the url.

Using the tag &_vaSectionName=viXXX didn´t work to me, any other suggestion?

Did you build up your link as described in the blogpost I mentioned?

Does it go to the wrong section or doesn't it work at all?
