Title: Email Alert
Post by: Modtamod on 15 Feb 2008 11:13:22 AM
Does anyone know how to add a link to a cognos report on the body of the email alert. I know that there is an option on event studio called the Add Links. However this link only for for the report view of the report, what I really want is the actual report where you can see the prompt page then run it from there. HELP

You could try embedding the URL of the report in the body of your email.  To get the URL, find the report in Cognos Connection, use the Set Properties button for the report, and there's a link that will show you the URL - you can copy it from here.

MFGF,

I tried that approach, but event studio doesn't identify it as a html link but just displays the url as text. Any other suggestions on this?

Thanks!

Hello....

Which version of cognos you are using...?? in Cognos 8 series an email task you can see a option below body table. Add links.....

You can use this and you can insert report links in Body box in E-mail Task.
