Can an eB Report (eql not SSRS) return an attribute as a link?

Ken Vice

Will an eB report return a attribute as a link?  For example, trying to create a report for persons returns the person code - and it's plain text - to view a person object, a search has be run using that person code.

This seems like a normal expectation that information returned in an eql report would be 'live links' to the objects they were reported from.

Is it possible to do this?

    Hi Ken,

    I am afraid, currently HyperLink functionality is only available with the Objects and related properties.
    But if you know the Attribute value and you want to find all the related results, you can run individual eQL query for all the objects for the same like:

    START WITH Document
    SELECT
    Id,Name
    WHERE
    Id>0
    AND
    Attributes["Global", "DOCUMENT STATUS"].Value = 'ABC'

    Using your advice and sample, I was able to adjust my eql statement to get more desirable results.

    The answer I was looking for was - The Id field must be included for the object that is in the START WITH statement. This will cause the START WITH object listed in the report to include a hyperlink to that object.

    Now, continuing with your though above, it would be highly efficient if any of the report contents could be return as a hyperlink.

    Thanks.
