Add a Hyperlink to a Monthly Bill Report on the Billing Page

To let benefits administrators more easily access the relevant monthly bill report, you can include hyperlinks to the report on the Billing page.

Before you start

  1. On the Oracle Business Intelligence server, create the billing data model. Make sure it accepts Person_Id and Bill_Charge_Id.
  2. Create the monthly bill report and layout using the new billing data model.

    Use these parameters:

    • PersonId: #{sessionScope.configuratoinMap.pPersonId}
    • BillChargeId: #{row.BillChargeId}
    • Condition for Bill Status (Where Bill Status not equal to Open)JJ: #{rowStatus ne 'ORA_OPEN'
    Here's a sample report link:
    ../../analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&
    bipPath=%2FCustom%2FHuman%20Capital%20Management%2FPerson%20Monthly%20Bill%20Report.xdo&bipParams={%22_xmode%22:%224%22,%22_xiasynch%22:
    %22%22,%22_xpf%22:%22%22,%22_xpt%22:%220%22,%22_dFlag%22:%22false%22,%22_edIndex%22:%220%22,%22_dIndex%22:%220%22,%22_rToken%22:
    %22%22,%22_ranDiag%22:%22false%22,%22_xdo%22:
    %22%2FCustom%2FHuman%20Capital%20Management%2FPerson%20Monthly%20Bill%20Report.xdo%22,%22_paramspBillChargeId%22:%22#
    {row.BillChargeId}%22,%22_paramspPersonId%22:%22#
    {sessionScope.configurationMap.pPersonId}%22,%22_xt%22:%22Person%20Monthly%20Bill%20Report%20Layout%22,%22_xf%22:%22pdf%22,%22_xautorun%22:%22true%22}&
    _linkToReport=true
