  • 1.  Drill through Report/Refresh report

    Hello everyone,

    I am helping to create a report (report A), the report involves multiple prompts, and they are all on report page (not prompt page). Users want to have a button so that the report would refresh (reset prompts to default values) when they click on it.

    I created a text item with drill through property. When users click on this text item, the report would drill through to itself, so it seems like to refresh report. It works well. Update: it does not work

    However, there is another report (report B), it uses a HTML item to show report A in its report layout for some reasons. In this case, when I click on the text item, the part of report A loaded for a short time and the prompts do not reset. The drill through trick does not work. Does anyone have any idea to solve this problem/accomplish the "reset prompt" requirement?
     
    HTML content:
    <iframe src="<reportA>;ui_appbar=false&amp;ui_navbar=false&amp;shareMode=embedded" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media"
    style="height:xx%;width:xx%;
    ></iframe>
