Selectively Opening Latest Instances by Default (3.x)

[former_member201488]

Sometimes you want your users to open the latest instance of a report and not the report itself.

Sadly, this option is set as a global default across Infoview - when you click on a report you can either open the report itself OR the latest instance.

CMS>MANAGE>APPLICATIONS>INFOVIEW>PREFERENCES

Luckily there's an easy workaround.

Create an OpenDocument link for your report, and include the &sInstance=Last parameter.

Then, create a new hyperlink in Infoview:

NEW>HYPERLINK

Insert your OpenDocument link into the URL and title as per the report.

Finally, use this hyperlink in place of the report (e.g move the report somewhere else and use the link in its place).

Easy huh? Hope you find useful :smile:

(note: may also work for 4.x, don't have it to test, apologies.)
