Problem Description

This is to get around the issue of the “view report form view” option giving an unexpected error so you can’t edit the report values.

Steps to resolve

1. In the Report Filter, query the report you can’t open. Right click the pencil icon and select  Copy Link Address from the menu that pops up

In this example, the link address is

https://cots-it-demo.bentley.com/inspection.aspx?id=85941&type=1

Make a note of the number in the “id = xxxx” part of the URL, highlighted above.  This is the ID of the report we want to view.

2. Look up another report of the same type, that you can open. For my example I am viewing another Routine inspection on the same structure, Test Bridge 2, inspection date October 18 2022.  Click View Report Form View on that report.
3. Select the Report Section you wish to view on the broken report.  In this example I selected the National Bridge Inventory section.  We need to copy the URL from the browser for this section:

4. So for my example this new URL is https://cots-it-demo.bentley.com/form.aspx?id=85930&type=1&fg_id=4&fm_id=7

Note there's a different "id=xxxx".  To get this form to display for the broken report, we need to swap the "id=" in this URL to the previous ID we noted in step 1 above.  So the address becomes:

https://cots-it-demo.bentley.com/form.aspx?id=85941&type=1&fg_id=4&fm_id=7

5. It is important to note that you need to replace the ID in the address bar of your open session of AssetWise Inspections.  If you try putting this entire address in a new browser window it will fail with authentication errors because you're not logged in there.  You can just click in the address bar of your current AssetWise Inspections session, paste in the new URL and press return.
