Title: Finding Report Views
Post by: udaychow99 on 14 Sep 2015 07:20:55 AM
Hi All,

Hope doing well.
I just got into a situation where I need to know whether user has run the report or report view. Is there any way like any function or something like that to find?,please let me know.

Thanks,
Uday.

If you have auditing set up you can use the audit package to find out who has run what.

Thanks Lynn for the reply, and sorry for the late reply from me..

Actually I think I did not specify clearly what exactly i am looking for. Here I am trying to explain it a bit good for better understanding.

We have many existing reports. There is one functionality,where prompt pages are hidden in some reports using java scripting. The prompts in the prompt pages are given with default values. So when user runs the report, prompt page cannot be seen and the report page output shows up.

Our client wants to see the prompt page when he runs the report view of the respective report for changing the prompt values. So I want to show prompt page when user runs the report view and hide it when he runs the report(this is already existing functionality).

As of now, I requested my client to keep 'report view' in the report view names. So using 'report name' function, i can hide/show the prompt page. But i feel  this is not a good approach.

If any ideas on this/any clarifications required, please let me know.

thank you!

I don't use Java Script. Sorry.
