How to pass parameter to regular hyperlink

[kolla]

Hi All,

Could you please help on below scenario.

I have a shared path in that it is having project folders like A,B,C.
In my report I have a hyperlink to access this path .
to access each path I need to create hyperlink for each project.Instead of that is it possible to pass the Project parameter to the hyperlink based on user selection.

here is sample link: <a href="file://XX.XX.XX.XX/ReportsFolder/A/TestReport/EnvironmentSummary.xml
" target="_blank">Link to latest Test Execution Results </a>

Please help me on this.

You can set the source type of an html item to be a data item value or (I think) a report expression. You can then construct your link as needed. Here are a few different posts that elaborate further.

Did you read any of the links provided? Is the technique described unclear in some way? What have you tried so far? You pretty much just repeated your question.

An expression below might be similar to what you are after. The links already provided explain that you can create a data item and then use it as the source type for an HTML item. I notice in your sample you aren't really closing the anchor tag, instead you show [\url] which I don't think is correct.

Code Select Expand


'<a href="file://XX.XX.XX.XX/ReportsFolder/' + ?YourParameterName? + '/TestReport/EnvironmentSummary.xml
" target="_blank">Link to latest Test Execution Results</a>'
