INTERACTIVITY: How to open URL with report data as parameters

shaman

Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a deadline overview report in BIRT. Here is the situation:

I have bar chart, which shows deadlines as X axis and number of hours as Y axis. I get these data from bugzilla - I simply aggregate estimated time for particular deadline. It is something like workload diagram and it is intended for showing estimated workload for each developer.

Now I want to link the chart with bugzilla. I want to open bugzilla report for developer and for chosen deadline after clicking on bar. To achieve this I must pass developer id and deadline to bugzilla. I successfully managed to pass the developer id, because it is actually report parameter.

I'm inserting it to URL (params["parAssignee"].value) which is opened by calling window.open() after mouseClick event.

The question is: How to pass the deadline corresponding to the bar I clicked? Where can I get this value from?

When defining the Interactivity, you select "Mouse Click" and the action of "Hyperlink", correct? From there click the advanced button. That will expose definitions to include the Category, Value and Name.

You just need to decide what you want the name in the name/value pair to be on the URL.
