Opening multiple reports in separate tabs in IE

Hi Scott,

I do not see a way to enable opening a new tab for a specific user. Here is a Knowledge Base article that shows how to modify the Information Console source code to change the tab behavior for everyone using the Information Console:

It involves modifying the source code, so be sure to make a backup copy and make a note that the change will need to be reapplied if you do a new install.

Other possibilities:

• Engage Professional Services to add custom tab functionality to your Information Console (i.e. a checkbox that individual users can set to configure how the tabs work).
• Create your own web page with links to run reports. The web page could be a report itself. I know one customer who saved the links to a database and created a "Report Selector" report that displayed the links to the actual reports via a data set. They used the data set's Row Access Control List to determine which links each user could see.
• Put a link on the top of the report that says something like "Make a copy of this report". It will be a hyperlink to the same report.
• The user can click the browser's "New Tab" icon, then manually copy the URL from the first tab and paste it into the second tab's address bar creating a copy of the report. The next report that is run will replace the contents of the first tab leaving the second tab intact.
• Install a standalone Information Console and customize it like in the Knowledge Base article. Let users choose the old or new console.
