How to open a new tab in a browser by click on SSRS bar chart report

Question

I have developed some SSRS reports which are I am accessing in a web application dashboard, hosted on JBOSS server. I want to open a new tab on click of bar chart report so far I have used

javascript:void(window.open('URL','_blank'))

in SSRS Bar Chart Report but it's not working for me. Also, I have tried &rc:LinkTarget=_blank as well but no success yet, the report opening in the same tab only. Browser Inspector shows that target property got set to _top instead of _blank.

="java script:void(window.open('URL','_blank'))"

In addition to the above, I have tested SSRS report its working fine and opening new tab when running it individually(directly run using web service URL in a browser), but when you accessed this reports in a hosted web application dashboard it's not working.

Could you guys please help me.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You have to use the action property. Go on your tablix cell or textbox Textbox Properties > Action > Go to URL and add your URL. For example:

https://www.google.de/

Now when you execute the reort and you click on the cell, you will jump to the site.

Answer 2

I am not sure but this might be what you are asking for. This is what I use and it works well for me.

="javascript:void(window.open('URL & Parameter =" & Fields!Parameter.Value & "&rs:ClearSession=True','NewTabName'))"

I am currently trying to figure out a variant of this where it opens the report as a pdf in a new browser tab.
