Question about making data publicly available
I have a report from a private application that is embedded in a Web site. My understanding is that using the permalink feature allows the private view to be shared publicly. Now I want to add a custom action to that report that will allow the viewer to generate a record summary report with one click. Here's the custom action:
- openUrl("record-summary/Force_Player_Profile_Report/" + input.id, "Same window");
It works when I am logged into Creator. However when I execute it through the embedded report I am taken to a Creator login screen. It's a private application so I assume that without a valid login the action can't be taken and since the script is using the private view, not a permalink, access is limited to logged in users (note that I am currently the only user). What is the best way to provide public access to this custom access (one click access to a record summary)? I've searched through the forums and have seen the option of making an application (or a copy of it) publicly available but I don't have that option on my "Share" screen (the forum thread is several years old and this option may have changed over time). Can I substitute a permalink for the explicit link name? Or is there a simpler option that eludes me? :)
I'll go ahead and ask part II of the question in case it changes the answer to part I: What I really want to be able to do is automatically generate a PDF copy of the record summary with the custom action. Part I is just getting the action to work at the simplest level. Thanks!
