Title: Select report content language with prompt
Post by: gagnonp on 03 Jun 2016 11:39:48 AM
I have created a FM model with 4 content languages.

When running a report, the language to be used depends on the language of the client the report is to be delivered. The same user can produce the same report in 4 different languages. Therefore I would like the user to select the content language via the prompt page.

Other solutions exists but they are time consuming and require training:
1. changing the User's preferences content language
2. changing the report property language before running the report.
3. run the report with options so they can change the language. running with options implies multiple clicks and training

Thank you

You can specify the language in a report view. Create four views on each report. MyReport_EN, MyReport_FR. Functionally, I think this is the same as your

Additionally, if certain users should have access to fewer than four languages, you can manage that by object security.
