Birt Reports: Misc questions (params, no data, links)
Hi,
I have some questions regarding Birt reports on RTC 1.0.1.1 that I've compiled in this thread.
1) Is there any way to replace a graphic on a report with a warning string when there is no data matching the criteria? Something like "Not data found."?
2) I've created a report to shown a WI list. each row links to each WI details. For that, I'm using
"#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id="+row
This works fine on the web client, but not on eclipse client... On eclipse the look&feels seems to be a link, but the linkage is not established. What am I doing wrong?
3) Given report A and report B, report A drills down to report B and pass some parameters to it. As these are internal parameters I don't want them to be "seen" by the end users, so I tried to define them as "hidden", but it seems that when I hide the params they are not passed correctly and I get a different behavior. How does it work? Workarounds?
Thanks!

One answer
1) You need to use the visibilty property of both the chart and the "No data found" text. Check any of the reports that we ship with RTC for an example, e.g., Open vs Closed.
2) Links to individual work items are not supported in 1.0. You need to use 2.0.
3) Most of our reports have a hidden project area parameter and this seems to work for us in 2.0. Check the drill through from Work Items by Team to Work Items by Owner.
