Smart View Perspective Web Report

Damien Moore

Hi all

Can anyone advise whether Parameters can be passed to a webreport which is on a Content Intelligence HTML webreport Perspective - from a URL?

I can do it in Classic view, but Smart View fails pass the parameters through.

Thanks

Hi Damien,

In a WebReport widget you can access the URL parameters with the tag [LL_REPTAG_ORIGINPARAMS /].

In case you are on an older CS version, the original URL is available in the HTTP_REFERER, but you need parse the URL yourself. You access the HTTP_REFERER as [LL_REPTAG_&HTTP_REFERER /], basically as a parameter to the WebReport.

Hello Damien,

I do not believe it is possible to pass parameters via the query string. The Smart UI truncates the query string and it will never make it to your WR.

I recommend you take a look at this post:

You can use [LL_REPTAG_WIDGETCONTAINERID /]

The other technique I have used to overcome the query string problem is local storage:

First WR:
localStorage.clear();
localStorage.setItem("seq", seq);

var subWrUrl = "[LL_REPTAG_URLPREFIXFULL /]/app/nodes/[LL_REPTAG_$EditDatesWRID /]"
document.location = subWrUrl;

Second WR:
var seq = localStorage.getItem("seq");

localStorage.clear();


Hope this info assists you.

Does that work for a webreport within a Perspective on a Smart View page?

Hi Damien, if your question is for me. What I wrote is only valid for Smart View and works especially for the WeBReport widgets.

Thanks Hans - that's great, although I don't appear to be getting the values from the assoc correctly. I have this sample URL

…/app/nodes/34633253&ProotFolderID=4178657&PreportName=DummyName&PlqlQuery=stuff

In the webreport I am doing this

[LL_REPTAG_ORIGINPARAMS ASSOC:"ProotFolderID" setvar:varrootFolderID /]
[LL_REPTAG_ORIGINPARAMS ASSOC:"PreportName" setvar:varreportName /]
[LL_REPTAG_ORIGINPARAMS ASSOC:"PlqlQuery" setvar:varlqlQuery /]

Does that look correct?

I solved it, I needed a ? before params in URL. It works as required. Thanks Hans.
