Title: Create a Help File for Reports
Post by: Blessed2 on 04 Dec 2007 09:45:57 AM
I have created a report that has many filters and sort options within the prompt page.  The report is essentially many reports rolled up into one.  Giving the end-user more control over how and what data results they pull back in the report.  I would like to include a link on the prompt page in the upper right corner that the end-user is able to click on for help.  When they click on the link, it would take them to a Word file which gives them instructions and details on how to properly run the report.  I could either store this file in the public folders or I could store it on the same server as Reportnet.  And I would like for this window to open up in a different window than the one used for the report.  Any suggestions?

Hi,

You have a couple of options - either include a hyperlink or include an HTML item - the hyperlink would need just the URL of the document whereas the HTML item would need to be an anchor tag.
