Dashboard Menu items
Hi,
I am new to dashboard.
I have created a tab on dashboard - Human Services.
I have four reports on Human Services -
Report 1
Report 2
Report 3
Report 4.

How do I create a menu for above tab so that when user clicks on Human Services tab, the four menu items are displayed.
On clicking of any one of them, corresponding report out is displayed.

Thks

Hi Kar,

Can you please be a little more specific on what you are looking for? For example, when you create the tabs or work on the menu, do you receive any error message?

For general information on Dashboard/Managed Reporting, have you got a chance to review the following manuals:

WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Developer's Manual 7.1.3

WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual 7.1.3

Hope this helps. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry

Hi,
Thanks for links.
I am able to set up tabs in the dashboard.
The tabs are named as Human Resources, Sales, Marketing.
I am not able to do the following

1. For each tab, I want to set up a menu.
2. The menu should appear on the left side of dashboard.
3. When I click on the menu item, it should open the report output in the same window i.e in right half of the dashboard and NOT in a new window.

Any inputs , please share.
Thanks

Hi Kar,

You are right that per company policy, an InfoResponse username/password is necessary to review the online documents and manuals. If you do not have one, please check with your management and ask for the “site code” or “serial number”, which will be required to register an InfoResponse account at http://techsupport.ibi.com. This should be included as part of your maintenance package.

Thank you and let me know me know if you have any questions. Smiler

Cheers,

Kerry

Thanks.
I got the inforesponse login from my company.
My Question was
How can I have reports open in a same browser from Dashboard?

I have page in dashboard with contents defined as LIST BLOCK
(List blocks can contain many items from one or many domains. The items can be from any folder in any domain to which you have access. You can run a report or access an Internet resource by clicking a hyperlink from the list.)
When I click on hyperlink, report runs in a new browser.

I donot want reports opened in a new browser from Dashboard?

Thanks

Hi Kerry,

The solution you have refered to is as follows.

BID reports are getting generated under same browser window

My problem is exactly the opposite

BID reports are getting generated NOT in same browser window.
I want my reports to be generated in same window.
I am using WebFOcus 7.1

Thanks
