If you name your reports in a meaningful way, as Alex suggests, then yes you can do this. So, create the reports and name them for the combination of fields, for example "Customer In Progress", then create your URL and pass the field values accordingly.
Example of URL:
https://secure-ausomxXXX.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ReportIFrameView?SAWDetailViewURL=saw.dll?Go%26Path%3D%252fSomeFolder&AnalyticReportName=%%%Type%%%+%%%Account_Status%%%
My example assumes that you will use a weblink that users will click to run the report. To create the URL, first build your reports and run them from the report menu directly. Copy the URL and paste it into the weblink URL Link Properties. Then, change the URL to be dynamic, as shown above.

Read picklist values in narrative reports

hi
In narrative report i'm using one picklist field and one currency field.
Reports i created is dynamic report and it works fine for different SR.
the report should hold the value chosen in picklist.Unfortunately it always populates the same value i.e value chosen first(i.e not updating proprely whenever i edit the picklist )
i.e picklist value remains static always doesn't change on user selection in reports
How to solve this.

I have this same question. I note that the Custom Object uses, for instance, 03_09 to refer to the 9th item on the picklist for Custom Object 3 instead of the actual name of the field. This causes problems when items get added/removed to the picklist and the field becomes, say, 03_08. Do I have to edit the report every time the picklist changes?

Using Javscript in Narrative report

Hi,
Can anyone help me how to use a javascript in Narrative report, Its better if anyone could send the sample code. I am trying to create a label kind of a report using narrative option, I am able to create 12*1 format i.e(12 rows and 1 columns) , but i wanted in 12*2 format i.e.(12 rows and 2 columns). I hope using javascript we can achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ambarish

Hi,
What you can do is, create another view with either narrative or static script, and in that call javascript. In this new script, read the html code of report generated, by doing document.getElementsByTagName("td") or document.getElements ByTagName("tr") depending on your table structure. Introduce alert statments for debugging and you will be able to read rows one by one.
It would be better to use pivot table structure as you will be able to read all the data at once.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Header and Footer on Narrative report - Need to remove

I have just created a narrative report and all looks good but when I do a print preview, it shows the form name in the upper left and Page 1 of 1. The bottom of the form, footer, shows the url and the current date. Is it possible to hide or remove this?

Hi !
This is not related to CRM OnDemand and your report. This is a printer configuration.
In your browser, go to File > Layout and you'll see header and footer fields. Just blank them and your printed page won't have header and footer. For IE having the date and url in the footer and the page title in the header is a standard setting...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Please see the report parameters and webapplet parameters below:
Narrative Report:
</td><td><iframe src="/OnDemand/user/GrpCalendar" width="830" height="400" scrolling="no" name="calendarFrame" onload="document.frames['calendarFrame'].scrollTo(170,115)"></iframe></td></table>
Web Applet
iframe frameborder="0" height="400px" width="100%" scrolling=auto src='/OnDemand/user/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2fshared%2fCompany_HE2790-1JAZ2_Shared_Folder%2fContacts_By+Calendar&Options=r&Action=Navigate&p0=1&p1=eq&p2=Contact."Contact ID"&p3=%%%Id%%%'></iframe>.
Can anybody help me out to display the related contact activities in the iframe.
Thanks & Regards

Bhas,
What you are including in the Narrative report will only show the user's calendar, there is nothing in your example which would modify the Calendar view to display activities related to a Contact. This is a fundamentally flawed approach and has no chance of working.
You can use a web applet to display a report which shows Activities related to a Contact. To display these in a "calendar" format, you will need to completely build the calendar from scratch in html. Narrative can be used for this, perhaps, but it seems a lot of work. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts.
Good luck,
Louis

Narrative Report

Hi,
What is Narrative Report??.....how to create a Narrative Report
Regards

Be careful spending time on a Narrative Report if your end goal is to print to PDF. Currently Oracle CRM OnDemand is deffective when it comes to printing Narrative Reports.
For example we designed a customer contract spending weeks on formatting and design only to find out that the Printer Friendly PDF option scrunches the entire report into 2 inches. Aweful!
Oracle response to the enhancement request has not been much better.

Narrative Report - default to A4 print size

Hi, I need to build a form using the narrative report and the report should fit into A4 printable size.
These are the steps I performed" First I design the form using excel and I have ensure that the form does fit into A4 print size(check via print preview). After converting the form to HTML, I copy the codes into the narrative view of the report, the content displays in the report is in the correct format/design. I save the report in CRM. However when I download and open the report in excel, the report does not fit into the A4 paper size.
Is there a way I can define the margin and report size for narrative report with HTML code?

Pease post this question on the CRM On Demand Analytics and Reports forum.

Narrative Report Performance

I have created a Narrative Report in the Reporting section (Not Analytics) because the customer might need to see the report within the same day. I know the performance will be slower but how much slower? The report takes about 1-2 minutes to generate...is that normal. I am only pulling from a few areas Owned by User, Date Opened, Opportunity and Contact. I have also created a prompt that will only pull data from 1 Oppty. record. My question is that normal performance from the Reporting side or is there something I can do to help performance?

How to obtain IR report dynamic SQL in Apex 4.0

Hello,
I have 2 regions on the same page
Interactive Report –
Chart (Flash Chart) – This is a sub region of the above
Now the requirement is when user applies a filter to the interactive report I would like to apply the same filter criteria to the flash chart so that data representation in flash chart matches with the IR report content. I am fairly new to the Apex, apologies if used any apex terminology in correctly
Appreciate if you can point me in the right direction
Thank you
-Raj

Hello , I did some research how to achieve this , one way is to get the IR report dynamic sql using APEX_IR.GET_REPORT package and apply the same sql for the chart so that the chart representation will match with the IR report data, But the challenge is as i am using the APEX 4.0.0.00.46 version, the APEX_IR package is not available in that version , Any other way we can achieve this in Apex 4.0??
Thanks

Generate report dynamically based on parameters

I have a Report with 30-35 items and these items are divided into sets of
RMA, WIP,Inventory, finance ....
now i need to display the report dynamically based on parameters
say, for example if RMA, WIP, Inventory, finance are YES,NO,YES, NO
then the report should display only RMA , Inventory....
any ideas/suggestions would appreciated......
Thanks,
-VK

Thanks for the Reply Sabine, let me put my question this way,
i have to display the report based on the selection criteria(parameters)
i have a generalized view which will display all the items....but the client needs them in a fashion where he chooses them as a groups since, the list is so big and he wouldn't be needing them all at once.
here is what i'm thinking for the moment since, discoverer cannot hide the columns based on runtime parameters ....correct me if i'm wrong (as per my knowledge...it cannot ) i have decided going with 16 worksheets 4 groups of items say,(RMA, WIP, INV, FINANCE..)
and now based on the flags what the end user chosses i may have to display the appropriate worksheet ....is this solution possible...if so do i have to subqueries...??..or is there any better ideas/suggestion....

Is it possible to detect carriage returns in Narrative reporting?

I have a long text that includes many carriage returns that I would like to display on a Narrative report.
Since it is HTML behind, it is not able to detect carriage returns and all the word are in one line.
Is there a way so carriage returns can be detected and the text in the report is displayed the same as in the field?

Yes it is possible using java script----have seen it done by our admins----sorry cant be more helpful

Narrative reports not showing beyond first page if printed out

I'm trying to print out a CO1/CO2 record using the 'printer friendly' function.
Although everything appears fine on screen, all narrative reports in the related information sections do not appear in the printout if it extends to more than 1 page. This only occurs for IE6 which is our company default browser. We will be upgrading to IE7 but that will be only some time next year and till then, the users need to print out these reports. I've also tested and it doesn't happen for firefox as well.
I'm out of workarounds/ideas so if anyone has any, it's greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I did not understand the requirement completely but would suggest you to use STARTPAGE field of the CONTROL_PARAMETERS structure.
We use CONTROL_PARAMETERS while calling the SMART Form from Application program as an import parameter. By default SmartForms is printed from First page. If you want it to start printing from some other page set the field 'CONTROL_PARAMETERS-STARTPAGE'.
Hope it helps.
