The dashboard is designed with the two tabs, Tab1 and Tab2. The Tab1 will have summary of the reports and the Tab2 will have List of the reports in HTML Format by default when the tabs are loaded in the dashboard.
Please provide solution to the scenario when the Run (report) button is clicked in the Tab1 the report should be load in the tab2.

I don't hink there is an easy way to do this as each tab is completely independent of the other tabs, and the report content area of one tab is not know to another tab. That being said, the question has been asked before and I believe I saw some workaround a while back on the forum. Try giving it a search.


Regards,

Darin

Each tab is a frame with a name. You can target the output to a particular frame. To determine the frame name, add a piece of JavaScript to the HTML file that is the "List of the reports in HTML Format":

alert(self.name);


Minimal code:
<html>

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert(self.name);
</script>

<body>
List of the reports in HTML Format
</body>

</html>

Senthilvasan,

If this tab environment was created in the HTML Composer, the Run button will run a report for any frame, but if the frame is on another tab, that tab will NOT be put in focus. The user will have to click that tab to open it, or you can write some custom JavaScript to open that tab automatically.

That is the design on the functionality.

Hope that helps.

I assume these tabs are in a B.I. Dashboard view, not tabs on an HTML page created by HTML Composer...
