If I access a report running under the ViewerServlet the report shows "BIRT Report Viewer" near the top of the page. Is there a Knowledge Base article explaining a configuration option that allows me to customize this text? If not, can you point me to where in the source I could manually change this?

Thank you.

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for your prompt response.

The URL parameter worked just fine! Is there a reference you would recommend for learning about all of the URL parameters?

Thanks.

Take a look at the viewer usage documentation here: https://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentation/integrating/viewer-usage.php

That should be a good resource to get started.

Hi Jesse,

Looks like I spoke too soon.

When I tested the use of __title I did so with a report that just used some components in a Library and it worked. However, if I define a Template that uses some components in a Library and then I derive a report that is based on that Template have a problem. Even though I am still using the __title= in the URL that worked before now I get the Title or Display Name (they are both the same) of the Template as being displayed. How does using a Template to build a report cause this to happen and how can I override this?

Thank you.

Hmm that does seem a bit odd that when a report is based on a template that is no longer working.

What version of BIRT are you using?

Do you receive the same behavior if you run the report from within the designer?

Can you attach a sample report based on a flat file or classic model that I can to reproduce the issue?

Hi Jesse,

In the process of building you a sample file I believe I discovered the problem. If the report has a Title value (in the Property Editor > General tab) the __Title URL parameter is ignored. If the Title is empty then the __Title URL parameter value is displayed. I was under the impression that the __Title URL parameter forced the Title (the Docs say " Sets the report title.) but it doesn't look like that is how it's working. Can you confirm this is the the proper behavior?

Thanks.

From what I can tell, it does appear that setting the Title within the report design takes precedence over what is set in the URL.

I did find a bug report on this but it is still open: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=292734

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for looking into this and verifying that this behavior really isn't what is wanted. Now that I know that this was caused by having a Title in the report def I can adapt and move forward.

Shameless plea for help:

Would you take another look at my submission "Can't set a font typeface for the Body of a report" @ https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1065079/? I have a ton of reports that I need to build but I can't move forward until I see how to handle this problem.

Thank you!

There is a lot there and I've not gone down the CSS path you are on so I'm trying to work my way through it all.
I will try and get you are response a quickly as I can.
