Enable Pagination in HTML WebReport WIdget

Hello Everyone!

I was able to run WebReports that can accept input parameter based on the below thread:

https://forums.opentext.com/forums/support/discussion/289289

I would like to know if it is even possible to enable pagination using the same HTML WebReport widget. If this is not possible with the standard HTML WebReport widget, I would like to understand what widget can be extended to accomplish the pagination feature.

TIA!

There is some general information on pagination for classic here: https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/piroot/llescor/v160200/llescor-h-ugd/en/html/lleswebr-h-ugd-wr-pagination-info.htm

Some of this still applies for this scenario because the pagination is being done on the server in the WebReport. DSStartRow and DSEndRow plus INCLUDERANGE might be features to help pagination on the server. You'll need client controls to pass the relevant parameters to the WebReport if this is a regular HTML WebReport to tell the server how to pagination though. You might be able to make use of the Bootstrap/BINF controls documented here although you'll need the binf- class prefixes: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/components/#pagination.

The NodesTable WebReport and the Table WebReport widgets both have pagination built-in. Smart View parameter prompt support was added in the 20.4 update and running a WebReport to show either a regular table or a nodestable is coming in 21.1.

Thanks for the update Ian! Can you please confirm if the built-in pagination is applicable in HTML WebReport in v20.3 as well? I have a WR that returns more than 2000+ rows and I don't see any pagination.

The HTML WebReport is a blank canvas to put whatever code you want so there is no automatic pagination. If you're loading a custom table in the HTML WebReport widget you need to implement your own pagination using the general techniques I mentioned.

Understood! So the built-in Pagination is only supported starting v20.4 in both NodesTable WebReport and the HTML WebReport widget.

Built in pagination works for both those table components. Maybe I missed something but I think the example in the post you mentioned doesn't use those table components. It uses custom server-generated HTML to build a table. What mechanism are you currently using to build your table? Do you mean all 2000+ rows are returned from the data source to the WebReport or are they being returned all the way to the brower?

Thats correct, I'm using a HTML WebReport widget and it is returning all 2000+ rows in one go.
