Hi all,
to make my custom reports more reusable, I need to get from the
context the value of project area ItemID .

I tried with reportContext.getAppContext().get(" PROJECT_AREA
") but I need only the value of ItemID. Is there some method or
I have to parse the result of getAppContext().get(" PROJECT_AREA
") method?

Thanks
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

To do this, create a data source on COMMON_SNAPSHOT. Now create a data
set on PROJECT_AREA. Select PROJECT_AREA_ITEMID as a column, and
PROJECT_AREA_NAME as a parameter. Pass the default value '{Current
Project Area}' (including the single quotes) as the value for the
PROJECT_AREA_NAME parameter. This should always return a single row,
where the item id for the current project area is located. You can use
onFetch to store this value in a global javascript variable for use
elsewhere in your report.
