topic Open URL in QlikView

Open URL

Hello Community,

Has anyone had to open a Project Server dashboard from within QlikView?
I have tried from a 'Link' type in Expressions and Open URL action, and in both cases I can open the standard web page where I then I am given the chance to choose 2 parameters: "Project Name" and "Phase Level".

Is there a way to automatically send the parameters as variables? If there is, what is the syntax? I have checked all the threads on the Community already, but I don't seem to find something that suits my needs.

Thaks and Regards,

That depends on the website you want to open. If that site allows parameters in the urls like http://mysite/mypage.html?par1=x&par2=y then you can simply add those in the url in your expression.

Thanks very much for this, Sujeetsingh.

Very helpful for something else I am putting together, but not what I need at this time.

It isn't a QlikView document I am trying to open, it's another application called Project Server.

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Thanks Gysbert,

I have done some testing and the parameters are not accepted by Project Server.

I'm still looking and trialling stuff, though.

Cheers!
