You can embed images, such GIF or JPEG, and hypertext links in the cells of tables and pivots. Embedded data can be viewed in EPM Workspace and in Interactive Reporting document files to be exported to HTML pages.
User embedded HTML is written “as is” in the EPM Workspace source code wherever the text would normally use the function wrapper @HTML(<html image/link>).
How function wrappers are added to text is a customer-implementation choice. For example, if the HTML that you want to use is stored in an Oracle database column titled HTMLDATA, you might add ‘@HTML(’ || HTMLDATA || ‘)’ to the request line, where || is the Oracle string-concatenation operator. This method can also be used to generate a computed item in results.
If you want report headers or dashboard pages to contain hard coded links, such as to a corporate home page, you can enter, into a text label field, a literal string.
Example: @HTML(<a href=’http://www.hyperion.com’>Company Web site</a>)
Interactive Reporting Studio and Interactive Reporting Web Client cannot guarantee the format or appearance of cell data that is adjacent to cells that contain user-defined HTML. When viewed in a non-HTML context (such as Interactive Reporting Web Client or Interactive Reporting Studio), embedded, user-defined HTML information is displayed as text.
To embed images or hyperlinks into table or pivot cells:
n the cell, type @HTML(<HTML image/link>).
When Interactive Reporting Studio and Interactive Reporting Web Client encounter the @HTML wrapper, it is deleted from the cell and the content up to but not including the wrapper is exported “as is,” without character substitutions. The parentheses () is also deleted.
