Note that if you intend to move the report folder at a later stage, we

recommend you put all the files you are linking to into the report folder and

use relative pathnames to link to them. The relative pathname for any file

located in the report folder is ‘./’. So if you wanted your button to link to a

PDF called my_file.pdf located in the report folder, you would type

‘./my_file.pdf’ into the URL box.

The Target value can be selected from the pick list by clicking the down

arrow. This determines how the file being linked to will open.

Target Value

File being linked to opens in…

_blank

A new window

_self

The same window as the report (replaces the report)

_parent

For use in a framed environment. Will open in the parent

frame

_top

For use in a framed environment. Will open in the top

frame

C.4.3.3. Image Properties

If you select or insert an image component into the Designer canvas, the

‘Image Properties’ will appear in the properties pane (Figure 71).

In reports published using an HTML template, the Help link is by

default not set up as a standard button but as an item in the Menu

Bar component. If you prefer this to be a button you can simply

insert a custom button and enter ‘./help.htm’ or the link to your own

help file in the button URL.

All JavaScript functions mentioned above for use within a HTML

dynamic report can be used either within a button or as a Menu Bar

item.
