Change report title property value at runtime [message #933588]

Hi all,

How do I dynamically change the Title propery of my report at runtime?

I use reportContext.getReportRunnable().getProperty("title"); on my master page in my library to show my report title

It's worked fine so far because all my report titles have been constants

But I have one report now where I want a parameter value included in the report name

I've tried using

reportContext.getReportRunnable().setProperty("title") = "whatever";

and various other things but no success. The title shown when previewing the report is still the constant 'title' i've set on the General tab

And an unhandled exception error when viewing in browser

The following items have errors:

ReportDesign (id = 1):
+ Unhandled exception when executing script.

Thanks

try:
reportContext.getDesignHandle().setProperty("title", "mytitle");

Thanks again jason,

That mostly works. The master page picks up the correct title to display, but the menu bar of the browser still shows the initial version of the title.

Is there any way to modify that as well or does that get set prior to any code on the report being executed?

Cheers

I believe the reason this happens is because the title is read from the design by the viewer before it runs the report. The only way I know to work around this is to modify the viewer to add an id to the title tag and then add a Text element with client side script, to the report that locates the title element by this id and then use it to change on the fly.

<script>
document.getElementById("mytitle").value=<VALUE_OF>reportContext.getDesignHandle().getProperty("title");</VALUE-OF>;
</script>

Hi, I am trying to update the report name with report parameters and schedule the job. Do you have a sample report with the above conditions?
