      Great.

      I can't understand why is this functionality only in View mode. I always open the document through Modify and I thought that all Web Inteligence functionality is implemented through Modify.

      Do you know wether more functionality is available only in View mode?

      Thanks in advance

      Hi Jonas,

      I don't think there is any other functionality which is exclusive for View mode only.

      Hi Tanav,

      I have kept document link on my dashboard, whenever I click on it, it says " failed. Please check the logs or contact your  sap business objects administrator"

       

      Before positing this message, I have removed link, added it back again. It did not work.

       

      Dashboard has 16 charts, each chart has one hyperlink, this specific link did not working

       

       

      Any thoughts on this

      Dear all, I also work with links but I need it a "different way". I want to have links in all cells of a column, linking to the reffering document in my application.

      Have built it in a report as suggested and the screen shows the correct link (see attachment) but it won't work... All I receive is a blank BI launch Pad but it does not show the document in a new window... What went wrong?

      Thanks for any advice. Best regards.
