I have a report generated in report studio. I want to create like a link that when they click on it it will open a report outside of cognos like excel report or pdf report. How do I do it?
you can publish that report in a public location and add a html item with link to that.
is it possible to pass a paremeter or pass data item value perhaps since the non cognos report that will be pull up will depend on the data value that you click on the cognos report?
Yes. Define a query calculation in your report containing the logic to determine the appropriate URL, then use this as the course of your hyperlink.
