  • 1.  Opening a custom pop-up text box with an HTML box

    Posted Wed February 14, 2018 03:52 PM

    Hi there, I am wondering if it's possible to open a customized pop-up text box by clicking somewhere inside an HTML text box. I have an icon working as indicator inside the HTML box and would like to add this action when clicking on it. It's more or less of what a button opening a pop-up report would do...

     

    Thanks!

     

    Gus.

    Hi Gus,

     

    not sure if that is what you are looking for, but from an HTML box you can open a (Apptio) report in a popup window:

     

    The following example creates a modal dialog (that is a pop-up dialog) to a report called "Server Detail":

      [[dialog:report:/Server Group Analysis/Server Detail|Server Detail|Examine server details.]]

    Hi Thomas,

     

    Thanks for the help, this does work! Do you know if there's a way to open just text instead of a report? If not I can add this text into a test report and use the example you provided, that would be a good workaround.

     

    Thank you!

     

    Gus.

    You are welcome  

    Unfortunately I don't know if it is possible to open just text but I would also use an Apptio report. If this 'text report' is quite small, the popup is also small.

    In the header (=master) we put in all our custom reports I have HTML boxes that do the following:

    1. Open Cost Model Documentation
      Open another (internal) web site, with our cost model documentation
      href="https://<OUR INTERNAL URL" target="_blank">
      This opens our blog in a different tab. You may be able to have it open in another window, but it could be a browser setting. This is good for our purposes. I did not want users to lose the Apptio window!

    2. Contact the TBM Office
      Another HTML box opens a new email to contact us at the TBM Office:
      href="<COMMA-SEPARATED LIST OF EMAIL ADDRESSES>?Subject=Cost%20Model%20Inquiry" target="_top">Contact the TBM Office</a>


     

    Since I don't know much about HTML there might be better options, but these work for our purposes.
