Behavior of Related Content in Books

Additional information about related content when Include Related Content in Static Book HTML and PDF in the Book Editor is selected:

  • If this property is set to true, when the Static Book HTML output is generated, any related content links found in the Reports in the Book is followed:

    When a Related Content link is followed, the URL in the link is examined.

    • If the URL refers to a Report or Snapshot Report that resides in the current repository, that Report is executed, and the results are included in the Static Book HTML output. If the Report is a Snapshot Report, it is loaded from the repository and included. When the Report is executed, the POV of the cell that contained the Related Content link is used, as if you clicked the link.

    • If the URL refers to a repository "smart-cut"’ to a Report or Snapshot Report in the repository, this is treated in the same way as if the URL linked to a repository object chosen through the Related Content dialog box.

    • If the URL refers to a repository "smart-cut" to a repository object that is not a Report or Snapshot Report (for example a Word Document, HTML file, or PDF file), the object is retrieved from the repository and included in the Static Book HTML output.

    • If the URL refers to a Oracle Universal Content Management document, the document is retrieved and included in the Static Book HTML output.

    • If the URL refers to a URL that is on the list of to-be-followed URLs, the HTML returned from executing the URL is retrieved and included in the Static Book HTML output.

  • Cells that have Cell Documents are processed.

    • If the Cell Document is a physical file, it is included in the Static Book HTML output.

    • If the Cell Document is a URL, the URL is processed in the same way as if the URL was specified as a Related Content link.

      Note:

      If a cell contains multiple Related Content links on the cell, all Related Content links are processed in the same way. When a cell has multiple links, a standard hyperlink in the HTML document is shown. However, when the user clicks on the hyperlink, a list of available links is displayed.
