Is there any way to "invoke" a report from a work
My customer has a "Peer Review" work item which consolidates information about the review. For example it links to defects encountered during the review.
Even if they have the links to the defects, they would like to populate the metric about them. For example, total count of sev 1 defects, total count of sev 2 defects, etc. related to that peer review. I have not find the way to do that on the form, and the only I can imagine is provide a Birt report to consolidate all the information and show those metrics. Questions: a- Is a way to do this without using a birt report? b- Is there any way to invoke that report within the work item? I imagine a kind of button or something like that to run the report directly, without going to the report menu. Is this possible? Thanks. Claudia Callegari |

If you go with a BIRT report, you could always simply paste the URL for the report in to the work item. The link should work properly in both rich client and Web UI (that is, in the rich client it'll open an editor for the report, and in the web ui it will open the reports web ui properly). You can even pass parameters in to this report via URL, which I imagine you'll want to do. Details are here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsLinkingAndDrillIn in the section entitled "Hyperlink from one report to another". You'll probably need to supply the full URL, whereas that wiki article only constructs a relative URL, but that's a minor tweak. james RTC Reports Team Lead |
