Creating browser shortcuts for reports

You can create a shortcut so the user can click an icon in the application toolbar to open a report in the browser.

About this task

You can create a shortcut only for reports without parameters, such as the Work Order Details report.

Procedure

  1. Select a report that has no parameters.
  2. In the Toolbar Sequence field, enter a number.
    For example, if you type 1, the icon for this report appears first in the application toolbar. The system validates the number that you enter. You cannot use the same number more than once.
  3. Select the Browser View of Report check box.
  4. In the Browser View Location field, enter a value. This field determines the application tabs that have an active Browser View icon.
  5. Save your changes.
    If you have not previously configured this report to open in your browser, generate the request page.

Results

To check the shortcut, go to the application and locate the Browser View icon on the toolbar. Move the cursor over the icon to see the report name as the tool tip. Users can click this icon to open the selected report in the report browser.
