Crosstab & Double-Click (Jump Query?)

[Former Member]

I'd like to be able to double-click a row in a Crosstab and launch a sub-report\jump query, most likely Analysis for OLAP or Analysis for Office (haven't decided which).  My first question is I don't see a double-click event, is there a plan to put this in?  Single-click would absolutely not work for obvious reasons, single-click is (usually) meant to just highlight/select something, double-click is to do an action.  So assuming that double-click gets added (hopefully soon) does Design Studio have the capability to launch reports from within it?

Hi,

You can either keep some images (kind of detailed report) or button next to cross tab.

Option 1:

onclick of it, open a new document with the filters being passed from your existing crosstab.

Capture the filters as variables in your new window and display the grid.

Option 2:

Create OLAP report and include the link in open window.

Hope it helps..

Hey Jonathan,

To answer your first question, the double-click event is not available as of this moment. There is no word on whether or not this event will be introduced in the next iteration.

To answer your second question, once again, there is no support to create an ad-hoc report in any manner as yet. Whether this feature will be supported in upcoming editions is also something that we'd have to watch out for during SAP's next release of Design Studio. However, it is possible to open open a report saved as a PDF using the syntax:

APPLICATION.openNewWindow("<PDF's URL>");

It is also possible to open another analytical application using the URL parameter. Refer to the following tutorial:http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-41397

Hi Jonathan,

You are right a double click event is not available yet.

But you can open other documents via script. Typically you use the OpenDocument syntax for that. Check the documentation for that on help.sap.com

To open another design studio application you can also und URL parameters. For reference you can use the user guide or that video here: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-41397

Hope that helps.
