[CLOSED] Click on report to refresh portal
I have a report on my portal page that has the illusion of a button, but it's actually a report. Is there a way to refresh the BI portal when a user clicks anywhere inside of the report?

Why not actually make the report a button of 100% width/height?

I've considered that, but my report has some advanced styling. It's a "Big Number Gadget" that they showed at Summit this year. I'm not sure how to post a picture on this forum, but a button wouldn't be able to achieve the styling/formatting that I need.

Ahh, I see.

Mmaybe hold the report as output HTML, and use -HTMLFORM. Create a div tag with the onClick property and JS you need. Then use !IBI_FIL to put the report into the Div tag.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR SALES
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE HOLD AS MY_BUTTON FORMAT HTML
END

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<BODY>
<DIV onclick='myFunction[)'>
!IBI.FIL.MY_BUTTON;
<DIV>
</BODY>
-HTMLFORM END

Something along these lines?

You can put a drill down behind the "button", on click instead of a URL, you can just put this instead.

"javascript:_top.location.reload();"
