Can anyone suggest how to write reports on Reports usage tracking? We have several reports published to LBI and would like to know who and when the reports were run…. Since LBI don’t store the user-id and the run date as variables, we are not able to update these to a table….Did any one of you ventured into this situation?

Thanks,

Thomas.

Thomas,

There is no out of the box functionality for this. It requires you create custom server side code that can then be called by the 4 events when a report is run (Report Request Received, Parameter Selection, Parameter Validation, and Report Request Complete).

Ive done it before but it can be tricky if you want anything beyond simple use statistics.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the suggestion..... is there a way just like saving items in the shopping cart of HPshopping.com that we can develop?

Can we write external java to capture the user-id and report-id, when a user generate a report in LBI?

Thanks,

Thomas,

Yes, thats exactly what events are meant to do. You can capture those two items easily and then there is a redirect URL you get off the referring URL that you can use to send the user back to the report after youve captured the info.
