Format: HTML (.htm, .html)
Description: Supports hyperlinks and other web-based features.
Retains StyleSheet formatting.
Suggested Uses:
Report Library, email
for display in a web browser.
Considerations:
- In order to output
HTML pages with images, normally you would select DHTML as the format
and the output is distributed with the extension .mht. You can select
HTML as the distribution format. If you select HTML, ReportCaster creates the output with the extension .htm by default.
If
the scheduled procedure contains the SET WEBARCHIVE = ON command, outputs
pages with images, and you select HTML as the format, be sure to
change the extension in the Save Report As field from .htm to .mht.
-
When distributing
HTML reports by email or FTP, the scheduled report (.fex) must set
a fully qualified FOCEXURL and FOCHTMLURL for the report styling
options defined below. These reference the JavaScript components
located on the web or application server where the Client is configured.
For example:
SET FOCEXURL='hostname:port/ibi_apps/'
SET FOCHTMLURL='hostname:port/ibi_apps/ibi_html'
Styling
options include:
- Accordion reports
- Table of Contents
(TOC) reports
- Peer Graphics/Data
Visualization graphical reporting
- Multi-drill reports
- HFREEZE options
For more information, see the Developing
Reporting Applications manual.
- Bursting is
supported, except for FML reports.
- Can be distributed
as an email attachment or as an inline email message.
- Works with procedures
that contain GRAPH FILE syntax. When used with GRAPH FILE, ReportCasterautomatically generates the graph on the reporting server
(using JSCOM3) and embeds it into the HTML output using HTMLEMBEDIMG=ON.
If the scheduled procedure specifies HTMLARCHIVE=ON, this will
override HTMLEMBEDIMG=ON and generate output that can be displayed
in older versions of Internet Explorer.
