Hi Glandike,

no worries

I am afraid it is currently not possible to have links within the Dynamic List. It is something that we have on our todo list but I can't tell you when this will be added.

If it is meant as an embedded report you might want to look at http://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=493. There is an example of how to use a Dynamic List as a source for a custom HTML based report which then of course can have links.

Cheers,
Arno

Re: Link in dinamic list

Thanks a lot for your help!

Continuing the theme, I would like to ask for advice. When a jasper report contains a reference, the standard PDF preview in the browser does not recognize it as a reference, just as simple text, but any stationary pdf viewer recognizes the link in downloaded file, as well as in excel and in html. Perhaps that because built in pdf engine has limited functionality. Could you tell me any workaround to make a link as link?

ReportServer has 2 PDF viewers. Which one is chosen is configured in etc/ui/previews.cf. The default setting is to use the browsers native PDF capabilities. The alternative is to use a PDF viewer implemented in JavaScript. Both should, however, display links as links.

Re: Link in dinamic list

Yes, that right. You already told me this recently and i tried both versions(native and jsviewer). But jsviewer has bugs with UTF-8 cyrillic character (sometimes it confused  letters) and native doesn't display links. Please check the file (i post sample of jrxml here, just create text file, copy all in it and same as ***.jrxml, create report with this file and in datasource just choose RS DB) as a preview, and then save it and open in any viewer like acrobat, hamster pdf, etc. (not in browser).

Re: Link in dinamic list

This seems to be a bug in the JasperReports reporting library. If you remove the hyperlinkTarget="Blank" attribute it works for me in chrome's pdf viewer.

Hi Glandike,

linking from a dynamic list to a url will be possible in the next version, 3.1.2.  The ticket is RS-3901.
