Active Reports Dashboard

[ahmad_farooq]

Hi, I have recently started Cognos and I have developed a couple of Active reports, I have been a single problem with in each of them, When-ever I try to drill through these reports, from 1 report to another, My Browser tries to download the active report again and fails and then browser closes. Please help me understand fix for Drill through options with-in Active reports OR recommend if we can drill from one page to another page with-in same report?
Secondly, Do we have dashboards for Active reports? Like we have in normal reports? Can anyone share link to some of its description, Thanks!

Hi,

You shouldn't use a regular drillthrough from one Active Report to another. You can use an "Application Drillthorugh" (look in properties for the Application Drillthrough property) to navigate from one rendered MHT to another or, preferably, just use a deck or a data deck in a single active report and use an active report variable to switch from one card of the deck to another within the report.

Cheers!

Hi,

I read to find "Application Drill-Through functionality was introduced in Cognos Mobile 10.1.1 FP3. This functionality is designed to be used for drill-through within the Cognos Mobile app only." Ref:http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21615874

Can't we drill from one page to another page with same Report?

Thanks!

Can't we drill from one page to another page with same Report?

Hi,

As I explained above, you can use a deck or a data deck within your report and move from one card to the next within your report. This is the equivalent of drilling. from one page to another within the report.
