Has anybody used an expandable Excel template to use summer level accordian? I know IBI doesnt provide summary level accordian report. I have several users in the field I dont want to install JQUERY on end users computer, but I want to use summary level accordian report. Does anyone know how can I acoomplish this?
I know there are some XML to EXCEL datadumps that peoplesoft SQR uses to create accordian reports. Is there anything in IBI webfocus that we can use to accomplish summary level accordian report?

You wouldn't need to do this anyway. jQuery is not a client application but a Javascript resource. Just make jQuery available in your web server and add a reference to it in the HTML you'd deliver to your users.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://your_web_server/libraries/jquery.js" />

Or better yet, you can use access jQuery directly from a hosted environment such as those provided by Google or Microsoft.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" />


Check Google AJAX Libraries API for more details.

Arif,

Using the same exact code I POSTED in your previous chain on the expandable question, I was able to run it flawlessly, as is, in Report Caster as a standard email job and as a Library output job.

Some notes:

1) JQuery is stored anywhere you wish that WebFocus can get to. I would suggest on the reporting server as my example showed or in a place in the "Cloud" possibly at JQuery.com or Google as njsden suggested.

2) You will need to devise your own Excel Template with associated VBS code that can automate creation of the outline (unless somebody on FocalPoint has done it and wants to give it up Smiler ) once the raw data is imported.

3) Review this POST. Dan Pinault seems to have been looking for the same thing as you. I don't know if he succeeded.

Cheers!
