RRI restriction in Web Application Designer context menu (goto jump)

[Former Member]

Dear Guruu2019s,

I need to restrict the GOTO option in the context menu of a WAD report (using Report-Report Interface) according to the cell on which the user will right-click on the report: from the central report, there are three detailed reports accessible, linked with RRI. We need to restrict the available target report visible in the GOTO option of the context menu depending on the cell on which the user will call the context menu. So, when calling the context menu on a column header, there is one specific report available with GOTO (using the column characteristic value as input variable), the GOTO option of the context menu on a row-head proposes another report with the row characteristic value as input variable, and context menu on a data cell in the grid will call another report that will use both values of column and row characteristics as input variable.

How can we control de GOTO option in the context menu to show only applicable RRI-report depending on the cell on which the context menu is called?

Hope that question is a little clear for you all Guruu2019s.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Ravikan.

Hi,

WRT RRI there are following things which needs to be looked into

1. When you will jump from one report say totals to line item level report just ensure both the reports have common variable so values can be passed on very easily.

2. Check if you are looking for specific combination of charateristics details those are in drill down state in the report of totals.

Or you can do it directly as well and verify the results.

3. If you are passing on to some ABAP transaction or standard transaction in R/3 see screen parameters are passed on correctly to the ABAP report or transaction in its selection parameters.

Thanks and regards

Hello Kiran,

In fact the variables and connections between the reports are working fine as far as we select the appropriate target report in the context menu: in such case the expected values are passed and the target report is fine. the problem comes when we select an inappropriate report in the goto, so that it will have a different format and therefore the passed values for the variables are not the ones expected and the layout of the target report is crap (there are several target reports that have a different structure each).

so, we need that the target report available in the context menu always corresponds to the selected cell in the central report.

example:

central report: Objects are "shape" and "size":

Square Triangle

small 2 4

big 1 3

right click on "Triangle" and the context menu proposes only one report to jump (report A), using the value "Triangle" as input variable and there is no variable on the size:

Qty

Triangle 7

right click on "small" and the context menu proposes only one report to jump (report B), using the value "small" as variable and there is no variable on the shape:

Qty

small 6

right click on key figure "4" and the context menu proposes only one report to jump (report C), using the values "Triangle" and "small" as variables:

Triangle

small 4

so what we need is to change the available target reports (either report A, B or C) of the context menu depending on the cell we click in the central report. so influencing the target reports in the goto option.

hope it's a little clearer now.

thank you,

Best regards,

Hi Ravikan,

I am having a similar requirement as yours which is to restrict the RRI Goto on the context menu.

Have you found any solution?

Hello Joon,

No I didn't find a proper way to do this.
