Title: I need help urgently
Post by: tiomelenas on 16 May 2007 03:05:55 AM
Hi.

The first page is a Prompt page that have 4 buttons.
Eacht button have to redirect a diferent page.
button 1 --> page 2
button 2 --> page 3
button 3 --> page 4
button 4 --> page 5

Thanks.

Hi,

You would need to add bookmarks to the top of each page, then set up drill-through from each button to the relevant bookmark.  Be aware that this will not work with the default page-at-a-time rendering you get with HTML, so either the report would need to be run previously and have the output saved, or you would need to use PDF rendering.

Regards,

MF.

Or using JavaScript and hidden option prompt, you could have conditional blocks dispalying only the pages associated with each button's value.

I'd like to find out how to do cross-page bookmarks as well.

ReportNet (v1.1) Report Studio On-line Help reads:

Bookmarks work only for reports produced in HTML format. They work best when viewing saved report outputs, as the entire report appears in a single HTML page. If you run a report interactively and more than one HTML page is generated, a bookmark will work only if the target exists in the page currently being viewed.

So are we talking about something that's only applicable on Cognos 8?
