Viya dynamic Report Links (DDC)

[pw182126]

Hi,

just wondering if there is a possibility in Viya VA to build dynamic Report-Links which will open the VA-Report in the same browser tab or an Info-Window.

Certainly we can build a table with the hidden ReportURI and use the dynamic Web-Link as described here: But this will open the Report in the new Browser-Window. Another option would be to use data driven content or web content, but there I cannot even execute any links. none of these is working:

<button onclick="openSelf()">_self</button>
<button onclick="openBlank()">_blank</button>

<script>

function openSelf() {
  window.open("/SASReportViewer/?reportUri=%2Freports%2Freports%2F1473ee71-740d-48fc-b903-b43c7d33a128", "_self");
}

function openBlank() {
  window.open("/SASReportViewer/?reportUri=%2Freports%2Freports%2F1473ee71-740d-48fc-b903-b43c7d33a128", "_blank");
}

</script>

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Paul

Just got a response from SAS support team: "because of security reasons. When we write out the iframe for the DDC (or web content) it has to follow a specific set of sandbox options and these options/rules have been laid out after careful consideration by our security experts."

So, it is not possible.
