New window from the Parameter page in iPortal

Hi,
when the report is on the iPortal, i would like to know if there is a way to open the report in a new page and not open in the parameter page, in the browser.
I would like to keep the paramter page open, and be able to go back to it and change parameters and run it again.

Thanks

Hi LetsBIRT,
This would require product customizations in the current release(version 9). Please note that this feature would be available in the next release (version 10) which is tracking for release later this year.

Hi LetsBIRT: 
You can change the target of the form tag to open the page in a new window. The form tag is located in the following jsp page: 
<context root>iportaliportalactivePortalprivatenewrequestnewrequestpage.jsp 
 
The form tag should look something like; 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'><html:form action="<%=target%>" onsubmit="return false;" method="post" target="_blank"></pre>

Thanks Ashwini,
so if i include
target="_blank"> to
<html:form action="<%=target%>" onsubmit="return false;" method="post"
then the report would open in a new page?
and will i be able to go back to the parameter page and run the report again ?

Hi LetsBIRT:
Yes, the parameter page will remain open. Every time you submit your parameter page, it will open a new window with the resulting report.
