WRS link (as url) to other section (Web Report Studio 4.3)

[ajuvaba]

Hi all,

I have a question that keeps me busy for some time now.

I have created a report, where Section 1 is overall view for all groups and Section 2 shows more details for every group separately.

I would like to create a link (url) from overall view to detailed view for specific group.

Example:

Section 1: Company Names and Profits

Intel xx

Microsoft xx

Coca-Cola yyy

etc.

Section 2: Balance Sheet of every company.

I would like to have an URL that opens Section 2 for Microsoft directly. If I just clik on the TAB then always first Balance Sheet is opened.

If I use URL: ../SASWebReportStudio/gotoReportSection.do?sectionNumber=2 then it will open Section but first company

I have found that there is a possibility to say ../SASWebReportStudio/gotoReportPage.do?pagenumber=2&tocOpen=open which would go to Microsoft

Is there any way to make it happen' with one command only?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Remo

I recommend adding a prompt for Company to Section 2, and then linking that prompt to the Company data item in Section 1. This SAS note has more details: http://support.sas.com/kb/41/526.html

Thank you for reply, it seems very simple. I have tried all possible ways to get this done but somehow I don't have the "report linking" option. It just does not appear on the menu. I tried to ask the admin but working in a very big company means that not all options are available, I guess.

could someone, who has this option, copy the address link after clicking the link. I hope that there is some javascript that does the trick. Maybe I could figure out a way around this option.

Your logged in user needs to be a member of a Web Report Studio role that has the

"Advanced Report Creation:Create Report Links" capability. Your admin can check this

using the User Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console.

Thank you. It works now. At least I can link a table with other page. Unfortunately the other page needs a prompt in order to be able to open the right page.

This means that there is no possibility to have a navigation (grouping) but this is the way it is. Sometimes you have to adapt and accept that not everything can work the way you wanted...

at least I have a working report now.
