Hi,
I wish that was true. Its a very complex report I am trying to achieve and with the limitations of the BAQ(speed and complexities of queries)Â it is impossible. :(

If you say so. You can do all of this with a BAQ report. :-)

Hi,
Yeb you are right. The dashboard report relies on the data within the dashboard rather than generating an xml file. So although you can attached the report, as it doesn't go through the process server there is no or incorrect data. A bit of shame....

A dashboard ultimately uses BAQs for its data, and BAQ Reports are the way to do custom reporting. The Dashboard report just says 'take the current data in my dashboard and send the XML to the report viewer along with this RPT file'. That requires you to be in a 'dashboard context' I would think.
