    I have a question about SN links.

    I have created a 'Summary' SN, which I have linked to a 'Detail' SN via one of the fields. This works, but the 'Detail' SN opens in a new window. I would like to have it open in a 'Viewer' module on the same dashboard.

    I understand the 'OnClick' action of the SN's, but there must be another method when trying to open it from another SN.

    Has anyone been successful in doing this?

    Thanks for any help.

      The updatemodule function should work for this. Something like this:

      updateModule("viewmoduleid","detail sn link")

        Hi Chris,
        Sorry for the long delay in responding...

        I too believe that would work, but what I haven't been able to figure out is where to put that updateModule code.

        I am linking from the 'Recommended Analyses' section (step 4) of the SN. I have chosen 'Other Link', and populated the 'Link To' field with the ID (34585) of the SN I wish to open. The only other options are 'Add Link To', 'Comment', and 'Window'. I have tried placing the updateModule code in the 'Window' field, but the SN still opens in a new window, not the module.

          did you ever get a resolution for this? In the past when Ive done this Ive always initiated the link from the infoset by putting in the full efs url. One thing you will have to do is append the parent identifier to the updateModule:

          parent. updateModule("viewmoduleid","detail sn link")

          this tells it to look for the updateModule JS in EFS not SN. let me know if you need more detail.

            I have not resolved this as of yet. 

            Would you enter this as an application link?

            I'd appreciate any help you could offer.

              >On step 3 add an Application link by clicking Add Class Link
              >Name doesnt matter, Class should be URL (case sensitive) and the url should be:

              parent.updateModule('id1234','lsn url')

                Ok,

                I have created the Class Link, and have enabled the 'Link To' item (under Links to Applications within the SN).  But, the link fails when I choose the linkable item from the SN.  If I hover over the link, I can see that the link is preceded by 'http://server.domain.com:xxxx/lsn/servlet/', and then after that is the 'parent.updatemodule....' url.  I believe it would function if I could get rid of the first part of the url.

                Is that somehow tied to services?

                Thanks.

                Bill

                  hmm, try checking the "Direct Link" check box in the Options section step 3 in the note.

                   

                  UPDATE:

                  Is the link specific to every line in the infoset?

                    I don't see a 'Direct Link' box in Step 3. There is a 'Direct' checkbox in Step 4 under Customize Links. I get the same behavior either way.

                    The link isn't specific. I group within the SN by Territory (4 territories). I just shared an infoset that summarized by Customer. I could re-write it to group at the Territory level if you think that may be the answer.

                      yeah sorry, its the one in step 4, i should have double checked before i posted.

                      If the link isnt specific to every record Id put it in the template. Create a separate template for this one and just add the follow in the section you want the link:

                      [script removed]
