Hello Gurus I would like to get an idea on how I'll be able to show a report output option on the prompt page for our users. I know that if you run a report from the report design page you can choose the Run With Options then select which output format you want it to be. I also know that I can set a default ourput for each report but this is not what I want.
When our users access their portal they dont have access to open the report design. They only need to click on the report name and it will open the prompt page immediately. So want I want is to create a prompt for the report output format on the prompt page so the user will have the flexibility to choose whatever format they want.
Can someone provide me with detailed steps on how I can accomplish this. THANKS
Just for the record users don't need access to the development studios to select the output format, they can use the "Run with options" icon (Play button) on the report entry in the portal.
If that's not suitable, I'm sure you could do something with the SDK, but I'm not an SDKer so can't provide any specifics. Search this and other forums, similar questions have been asked before.
Another option perhaps would be a "prompt page" which is in fact a little dummy report which drills through to different views of the real report in the various output formats.
