So I know there is a way to add a Browser view button from Report Administration for reports that do not require user input, but what about reports that do require users to input parameters? Is there anyway to add a shortcut so that users will only need to click one button, instead of having to click Run Report > Select the report?

Thanks

Jonathan,

The easiest way would be to make them available from the Start Center via the Report List portlet. Report Administration would still be needed to set up parameters, but otherwise, you can take a look here Start Center Report List Functionality in Maximo for assistance. So, not from Report Administration, but hopefully, an even better solution.

Christopher,

Thanks for the response, unfortunately that wouldn't work for my scenario, the user needs to select a few records before running the report, so it cannot be done from the Start Center.

If you're trying to do something dynamically (IE across many unique environments), a script launching the dialog is good. But for a single instance where you know the reportnum for the report you probably wouldn't need to create a script. For example, on a push button if you define the event as reportd1209 (or whatever the report number is for the report, which will be static unless it's deleted and added again) it will launch the report dialog automatically. No signature options or anything required in that scenario and would work back to the 7.5 days at least (though I think it works further back). 

Since the goal here is to run from the list tab, you'd probably need to define it as a signature option so that it could be added to the select action/tool bar menu. But otherwise should work.
