WAD - Possible to embed RRI commands in CSS style menu?

Former Member

I'm not content with the standard web item options in WAD and was hoping I could create my own menu using CSS style commands and then embed the BI:ACTIONs within the list links. Is this possible? I've got the list created within WAD, but can't find anything out there on how and what BI commands to embed. Any help or alternative suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

FYI, I found one simple way to do this. You can use the web item "Link", define the RRI or other set of BI actions you want to perform within that in the Layout side of WAD. Then, within the XHTML portion you can cut this relevant snippet of BI command code and place it under the CSS-style menu you're trying to create. In my exmaple, I styled a drop-down list and was able to have this as action as a link within the sub-menus. For example, here's the list portion:


<ul >
                        <li >
                            <bi:LINK_ITEM name="DISTRIBUTIONMETRIC" designheight="23" designwidth="200" >
                                <bi:TEXT_CONTENT value="Distribution Metric" />
                                <bi:ACTION type="CHOICE" value="INSTRUCTION" >
                                    <bi:INSTRUCTION >
                                        <bi:RRI >
                                            <bi:TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="%NM%" />
                                        </bi:RRI>
                                    </bi:INSTRUCTION>
                                </bi:ACTION>
                            </bi:LINK_ITEM>
                        </li>
                        <li >
                            <a href="#" >Volume Metric</a>
                        </li>
                        <li >
                            <a href="#" >Marketshare</a>
                        </li>
                        <li >
                            <a href="#" >Standard Operating Reports</a>
                        </li>
                        <li >
                            <a href="#" >MPS Reports</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>

Pratap, thanks for the info. Let me clarify: I'm not content with using RRI in WAD within one of the standard web items. I would like to create my own menu, and use RRI commands from the links inside it. Is this possible? Thanks.

I dont think there is a direct option in WAD to pass the RRI parameters taht we set in RSBBS. But yes definitely we can model the RRI concept in WAD.

The pointes to be taken care would be to configure the parameters like:

1 embed all the Receiver reports in the templates in the form of analysis items or charts

2 The corresponding Dataproviders have to be managed with each action you perform on sender side.

in such scenarios as we are not using the receiver queries directly, we will have to design the layout accordingly for each of the receivers.
