Report Output Default - iServer 11?

al91206

I'm wondering if in Actuate 11 for iServer Express - or iServer in general - if you will be able to determine the default output for the report.

When a user comes to information console - clicks a report - to have it defaulted to Excel or Pdf - or whatever format instead of viewer -> export -> "whatever format here"

This was possible in Cognos and I was just wondering if this is also something on the horizon?

Thanks,

Al

Hi Al, 
It is already possible to configure the default output format through a simple change to action "executereport" in struts-config.xml. For example if you change the forward statement "viewbirt" as follows it will open all the reports in pdf format. 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
<forward name="viewbirt" path="/iv?__format=pdf" redirect="true" />
</pre>
 
It would make a good enhancement request to provide this configuration setting at a user level. Thanks for your input.
