Dynamically add Cell to end of row in Webi

sdk development
1

I was wondering if the following is possible in a Webi report - using the SDK or some other means.

The user wants to run a report and then at the end of each row created - add a cell. The purpose of the cell is that the user could write comments in the cell which apply to that particular row and save the report and send it to another user who could review the report with the comments.

Of course it is understood that the report cannot be refreshed again without losing the cells and any comments.

I realize an alternative is to save the report in Excel where the user can freely add comments in a cell - but the user is interested in knowing if it can be done in Webi.

Thanks

Hi Robert,

Check Comment It - a report commenting prototype from SAP. Maybe it’s something that you will find useful.

Note: I don’t have my own experience with this prototype.

what about a “Comments” object in the universe, with nothing in it? Just drop that on your reports, gets you the heading and a place to write? Your user(s) could just drop that in the query / report during creation / edit.

Maybe have it be a long char string of spaces, if you want to size a box…

Hi,

Add a column at end of the report, display hyperlink to the cell. When you click the link, it ill popup the window, enter comments and save it… you need little bit of jsp or .net skills for this…

Thanks
