Ad Hoc Report Execution Through Hyperlink¶

When you run an Ad Hoc Report through drill-down hyperlink, the report runs automatically when the Always Prompt option in input control is turned off. However, if the Always Prompt option is turned on, the report runs on appling the input control.

Ideally, the report should run through a drill-down hyperlink when parameter values are provided, regardless of Always Prompt set in the report input control or not. Always Prompt should only apply to direct execution of reports from the JasperReports Server web UI and not via the hyperlink.

Only the hyperlinks with Target as Self are marked as drill-down, and Always Prompt is bypassed in the linked report.

To mark the other hyperlink targets as Self, choose any one of the options listed below:

pass the force.drill.down hyperlink parameter:

<hyperlinkParameter name="force.drill.down">
    <hyperlinkParameterExpression><![CDATA[true]]></hyperlinkParameterExpression></hyperlinkParameter>

set the jrxml property:

<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.htmlviewer.force.drill.down" value="true"/>

set the property in the jasperreports.properties config file globally:
```
net.sf.jasperreports.htmlviewer.force.drill.down=true
```

Note

If the hyperlink parameter and report-level property are not present, then the global-level value takes precedence.
If the hyperlink parameter is not present, the report-level value takes precedence over the global-level value.
If the hyperlink parameter property is set to any value, then it takes precedence over report level value as well as global-level value.
