Title: Table of Contents with hyperlinks to report pages
Post by: Greg on 10 Sep 2012 04:13:55 PM
Hi,

I have a report that has quite a few pages and I'd like to provide users with a table of contents page with hyperlinks to specific pages.  Can anyone provide me with the URL specifics for doing this?  Thanks.

Greg

Your welcome  :)

PDF reports using cover pages and interactive table of contents are usually a hit with customers.

I've got it working great for PDF output but for HTML the ToC is blank and the links back to the ToC page don't work.  Should it not work for HTML too?

Thanks.

No, the TOC will not work with HTML.  Cognos only renders a page at a time in HTML view, so it doesn't know yet what the future page number will be.
