Dynamically generated hyperlinks in reports

smaurer

<p>When generating very large (100+ page) reports filled with data records, the iHub3 engine has some significant performance issues. Due to this I'm looking at a workaround where our report contains statistics about the records, but the actual data itself is contained in a separate location that our Jetty server will store elsewhere.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The viewer supports static hyperlinks. That is well documented. But what I'm looking for is the ability to dynamically generate a unique link per report, based on the underlying data. So, for example, the report might have a link saying:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Associated data can be found at:  <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.OurActuateUsingCompany.com/reports/PerformanceReport-Mar-29-2015:11.40.23.html'>https://www.OurActuateUsingCompany.com/reports/PerformanceReport-Mar-29-2015:11.40.23.html</a></p&gt;
<p> </p>
<p>..where the name or timestamp of the report would update accordingly, to allow us to point to the unique data that generated that report.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anyone know how to do this?</p>
<p> </p>

<p>To start, an iHub 3 instance should scale very well and should not have performance issues when generating large reports. 100+ page reports are big but should not be an issue for an iHub 3 to generate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it would be good to investigate the cause of the performance issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regarding your question about dynamic hyperlinks, that should be feasible using a text or dynamic text element with some javascript.</p>
