Session variables between reports

canutri

<p>Is it possible to save a session variable to be used later in another report without passing it as a parameter?  I've tried setting a session variable using:</p><pre class="_prettyXprint">reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().setAttribute("companyId", params["rpCompanyId"])</pre><p>and</p><pre class="_prettyXprint">reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("companyId", params["rpCompanyId"])</pre><p>The variables are available later in the current report, but not in a report that linked later - either as an immediate drill-through link or seperate url from the same browser session.</p><p> </p><p>The intent here is to have the user initially provide an employee id (or user name) and company # which will be picked up in later reports to filter content.</p><p> </p><p>Thank you,</p><p> </p><p>Daron</p>

<p>One way you could do this is to use window.name</p><p> </p><p>If you use a text item in your report and switch it to type "html" you could use something like this</p><pre class="_prettyXprint"><script>window.name = "Test message";</script></pre><p>You can test this worked by adding another text item and use this script</p><pre class="_prettyXprint"><script>alert(window.name);</script></pre>
