Attach a File to a cell in the BW report...

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When I run a bw report on the web it is possible attach a text comment to a cell in the result table as a "document". This is an standard function but we need attach also a file in the same way.

Please con you help me with this issue?

Enrique ,

Is this not possible with the standard document browser that comes with BW ?

otherwise...

1.you can attach the document directly to the cell.

What you need to do is generate the URL for the cell and have it as a link for that cell as a href tag. This can be done using the table interface. This is similar to using the document browser but here the problems are that the file types that can be handled are limited. You can observe the URL when you click on the standard document browser and using a variation of the same , you can see just the document alone.

2. The file can be kept in the mime repository and accessed by a web URL and you could link this to the cell using a href tag. sometimes the file may not be directly accessible.

These are some of the options possible...

Hi Arun,

I will test your idea of generate the URL from the Table interface.

Thank you for your comments.
