Link (hiperlink/bookmark?) from dashboard to specific report


Claudia Callegari (44439771) | asked Aug 20 '09, 4:55 p.m.
Hi,
Is it possible to create a link (hyperlink/bookmark) in a dashboard tab to reference a report on the reports tab?
If so, how?

We are using RTC 1.0.1.1 as I cannot run a custom report within a viewlet, we would like -if possible- include some links to guide the users to those specific custom queries on the Reports tab.

Thanks
Claudia

Hi Claudia,

You can create a "Bookmarks" viewlet and populate it with the links you
want. Or if you want a different structure, just create an HTML viewlet
and fill it with whatever HTML, including links, that you like. If you
use a URL like this:

#action=com.ibm.team.reports.viewQuery&queryUUID=_Lzd68I2sEd65s-JXUwEEbQ&name=The
Report Name

where you replace "The Report Name" with a friendly name for your report
and replace the queryUUID with the actual item ID of the query (you can
get this URL by just viewing a report and copying the URL from the
location bar).

Regarding the bookmarks that point to a report through the UUID.... Once you define the bookmarks within a specifi project area... are they kept if I create a new process template based on the project area I'm working with? Will the UUID be still valid?

Thanks!

No, the UUID is only valid for that report in that project area.

 Reviving this link. We are trying to use the same functionality with CLM 6.0.2 now. Is there a way to dynamically update bookmark widgets. For example: -

We are trying to add direct links to create task, defect etc. on the dashboard using Bookmark widget. Now, if we extract it as process template, is there a way to make it project independent. Please suggest.

Thanks a lot!!

Regards,
Ritika

There is no API to manage dashboards programatically. Therefore,

We are limited to what's available in the Dashboard Templates.

https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.dashboard.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_config_dashboard_templates.html

Playing with the variable ‘{Current Project Area}’ you may be able to get the 'dynamic' links you are looking for.
