how to open the drill-down report in the same new window

I create a report that has drill-down links to display the detail of each row in the new window.

My question is: can I reuse the same the new window when user click the links? Right now, each link will open a new window, kind of annoying to the end user.

Thanks.

Hi mengbo,

BIRT doesn't support that functionality with its drillthrough. You'd have to build your own links in a text element.

Hope this helps.

Hi mvilliams,
Is it possible with BIRT that only a part of the frame gets refreshed with the
drill through option??
My requirement is something like..
i have 4 reports put in a dashboard kind of thing(mostly preferred to use frameset or a jsp to divide the window).
ulitmately one of them is having a drill through option,when i clikc on the bar,it opens a new window or refreshes the whole page and drills down. but i want something like only that particular frame should be refreshed and shown,the remaining shud be unchanged.

im using Actuate BIRT 10

Madhu,

BIRT doesn't have this functionality out of the box. You'd have to create a text control pop up of your own that you can name, so that you can refresh the new window with new information.
