How to add report links to the Monitor Activity workspace
This presentation is part of the Portals Overview Self-Study Course.
Transcript
In this scenario, the client would like to add a report to the Monitor Activity tab.
The steps to take to resolve this requirement include:
- Create the Rule-Obj-ListView or Rule-Obj-SummaryView if it does not yet exist.
- Determine in which group the report should reside in the work space portion of the portal.
- Copy the custom activity called "Reports" that is defined in the Custom tab of the Portal into your RuleSet.
- Locate the appropriate model that is called by the custom activity "Reports." Note that the model name is derived by the purpose of the report plus the string "Reports." Therefore, the model name would be AssignmentMonitoringReports in this example.
- Update the appropriate model that is called by the custom activity "Reports."
- Note: Each model is generating an array of reports using the pyInstances(n) property which resides on the MyRules page. Each report has two properties, the hidden URL which is generated as pyInstances(n).pyInsHandle and the text description of the report displayed on the screen as the link generated as pyInstances(n).pyAdviceText. To add your report simply append two additional lines to this model.
