Is there a way to link up an HTML gadget to a reportlet?

gdittmar

Hi All,

I am in a situation where I need to allow some sort of user input in terms of being able to type into a form a series of weights which will be passed as parameters to a report for a calculated column. I was thinking it should just be a matter of making the html gadget, set up the forms etc, and then link it to a reportlet which then lets me drill down into the report. However when I try to link my reportlet to the HTML gadget it does not appear to be selectable. Is this just not possible or to get the functionality I require would I need to use the JSAPI to build my forms and reportlet in the HTML gadget? This is a client mandated functionality that they want coded up specifically so I cant really get around not using the forms for user input.

Thanks,

George

Hi gdittmar,
Reportlet gadget can link up with either data selector gadget or a parameter gadget. If you need to keep all the weight series consolidated together, you can define them all as parameters in a BIRT report and then use parameter gadget to bring them into dahsboard in a single gadget and then link them up with the reportlet gadget. Does this approach work for you?
