Hide address bar in Webi report

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a requirement where the user passes the values to Dashboard and that opens a Webi report. When the Webi report opens, it has to be a pop-up, with no tool bars. I am able to hide the toolbars which are in the Webi report. But is there a way to hide the address bar in the Internet Explorer?

we are using BO 4.1

Plz Help!

Thanks

Try to open the child report in a new window.

Check: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_opendocument_en.pdf : Page 14

Opening a new window

To force OpenDocument HTML links to open a new browser window, use the HTML anchor's target attribute or an equivalent. For example:

<a href="http://<servername>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/<platformSpecific>? iDocID=Aa6GrrM79cRAmaOSMGoadKI &sIDType=CUID" target="_blank">hyperlink text</a>

Also, in Launchpad preferences, select the option In multiple full screen browser windows, one window for each document for Set document viewing location.

Arijit,

Thank you for your response.

I think I didnt explain my Question well. so I am doing it below:

I am able to open the Webi report fine using open doc syntax. The requirement is to open the Webi as a Pop-Up and no toolsbars in webi  and no address bar in the IE. It should just be a window with the report content. The user is given (visibility)access only to the content and nothing else. I am able to hide the tool bars available in the Webi. I am struck with hiding the address bar in the Internet Explorer.

Thanks

I guess hiding the address bar will not be possible in modern browsers due to security reasons.

Is there any alternative way to have the webi report with just the content and nothing else. It doesn't matter if it opens in the same window or a new window.

Thanks

If you do not want the user to see any features in Webi then you will need to disable the access for those features from CMC. For example if you do not want the user to export to Excel you will need to revoke the access for the same in CMC user security. This will however not remove all the menu items..

Hi Prashamsa,

Regarding the Address Bar hiding you can do that but it will require few Registry changes and also it will change the settings for the Browser permanently which is not recomended.
