I made a dashboard from a BAQ, and also an application for an SSRS report that I made. I am trying to add the report application to an app-open event, and it seems like I am only able to successfully open the report application when there is a menu made for the report.
Is it the case that app-open NEEDS a menu to open? If so, is there another way to open an application from a button? All I want to do is add ability to print the SSRS report from the dashboard.
I believe it does.
I’d wait for confirmation before throwing that solution 
.
Launching without a menu essentially ignores menu security, right? Is there a way to bypass security check? Override an event or something?
On the classic side, this was what the processes folder is intended for. You can make “menu” items that you can call, but don’t actually show up in the normal menu structure. Without verifying any of that, I would assume that same model is followed in Kinetic.
That sounds familiar - I think the menu ID route is best practice.
Yep, it looks like processes work with Kinetic!
Now I’m noticing what appears to be a bug with this menu maintenance, in that the “Processes” menu is showing up in the menu. I don’t believe that this should be the case. And we have a LOT more things in the process folder on the menu screen, so I don’t know what’s controlling this to show or not show.
I noticed that happens for only one of our processes. We have a ton but only one shows up under the homepage processes tree.
Are any of these dashboard-assembly when you look at them in menu maintenance? That seems to be the only difference that I can find between these apps.
These all are. But there are other dashboard assemblies that do not show up, so it’s a common-ish denominator, but clearly not the only factor.
I’ve seen it too, haven’t dug into it.
Interestingly, it looks like the call to the menu brings back everything. Then it filters it on the client. I’m looking through the payload now to try and see what determines whether it shows up or not.
So this seems to be the (or a) field that’s a common thread. All of these menu items are showing up. I don’t know what controls that field however.
Looks like you have to set the “Icon”. Which is really dumb to me, because that for the most part is an inconsequential field. But I guess they want to use it now. If you set that to process, it doesn’t show in the menu anymore.
Good sleuthing.
