Jumping to a FineReport Template

Application Scenario

FineBI allows you to jump to a FineReport template by clicking a component.

Function Description

You can set the jump to a report template with or without passing parameters. If the target report template does not have any parameters, the jump cannot be set with passing parameter.

Obtaining the Report Template Link

Two methods are available. This section takes the method two as an example.

• Method one: Directly obtain the preview link of the report template.

The disadvantage is that you may need to log in to FineReport when jumping from a FineBI component to a report template.

• Method two: Place the report template in the FineBI project, then obtain the relative path of the preview link.

You need to connect the database and data tables used by the report template in FineBI, otherwise the preview will fail. The advantage is that you can view the built-in template in FineBI without logging in to FineReport after the jump.

1. Download the CPT template: Automatic Query.cpt

2. Place the downloaded template in the reportlets folder in the \webapps\webroot\WEB-INF path.

3. Add the template to the FineBI directory.

4. Preview the template in FineBI and copy its preview link.

Setting Jump

1. Find the built-in Multi Angle Sales Analysis dashboard in FineBI.

2. Set jump for the Which Region Sells the Best component within the dashboard.

3. Click +, click Web Link, and paste the preview link of the report template.

If the target report template is placed in FineBI, you are advised to enter the relative preview path.

• Specifically, remove the IP address and port number before the webroot folder. Example: /webroot/decision/v10/entry/access/889c14a8-f11e-462a-b46b-c021f8564f8f?preview=true

• For the BI project that can be accessed directly through IP on Tomcat, remove the content before the decision folder. Example: 

  /decision/v10/entry/access/889c14a8-f11e-462a-b46b-c021f8564f8f?preview=true

If the target report template is not placed in FineBI, simply enter the complete preview path.

Note:

For details about setting the open position of the target template after the jump, see section "Setting a Jump Window" in Component Jump Introduction.

Demonstration

Click the non-blank area of the Which Region Sells the Best component and click Jump to Web Link to jump to the Automatic Query report template, as shown in the following figure.

After you click North China and jump to the CPT template, no parameters are passed. For details about jump with passing parameters, see section "Jump with Passing Parameters."

The Automatic Query template contains the Region parameter. For details about setting parameters in a report, see Template Parameter.

Procedure

Based on the example in section "Jump Without Passing Parameters", modify the jump setting of the Which Region Sells the Best component by adding &parameter=field value after the original link.

Therefore, in this example, add the &Region=Region suffix.

Note:

For details about setting the open position of the target template after the jump, see section "Setting a Jump Window" in Component Jump Introduction.

Demonstration

After you click North China and jump to the CPT template, the template parameter receives the North China value and automatically fills it into the text widget. Click Query to view the corresponding data.
