iFrame Issue

obourne — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:38:12 GMT

I created an iframe as a computed field in my item details. This iframe ustilizes two othe foelds from the item detail. When the iframe loads it does not prodeuce the desired results.

BACKGROUND: I created a report in PLM and have a fielter set to be completed at run time. This filter uses a last name, first name as the citeria. When I enter a name it runs just fine. I copied the URL and used it as my iframe. When I leave the names in the URL explicitly my iframe runsjust fine. When I modify the iframe to pull in 2 fields from my item details my report runs but doesn't get any hits. Any thought?

Hi Orrin,

The name format is "last[comma][space]first" - seems you're missing the space, like this LAST_NAME + ', ' + FIRST_NAME (or the variant if you need to to escape the comma)

HTH,

I was able to make this work by including the comma as part of the LAST_NAME field text. Strange but it totaly worked.

I'm trying to do something similar in a computed field in a grid tab. I would like to link to a library of images, so i would like to have a URL that is variable in an iframe. How did you manage to get a variable into your URL field?

Bryce,

Here's how we do it.

'<a href="http://yourURLgoeshere/?yourqueryparamhere=' || YOUR_FIELD_ID || ' " target="_blank">' || YOUR_FIELD_ID || '</a>'

Not sure if this is supported in the modern UI or not (we are using "classic").
