showreportscripts.js

This file opens a Report Viewer window and displays a report. It contains one major function: ShowReport.

ShowReport function

This function enables the user to view a report. It is called from within a number of different locations:

• When the user clicks a report title or thumbnail image and selects View or View Latest Instance from the drop-down list, it is called from within showreportscripts.js.
• When the user selects a report from the "View last five reports" list, it is called from within lastfivescripts.js.
• When the user clicks the report title on the Alerts page or a report instance title listed on the History page, it is called from within additions.csp and history.csp respectively.

The ShowReport function takes six arguments: reportName, reportNumber, reportType, history, expo, and parentId. If the reportType is not a Crystal report, then objectviewer.csp is loaded, along with the following parameters:
