A Lobby Link Element can successfully open the generic report dialog box for a report family (for example using a syntax like `ifsrep:ORDER_REPORT_DIALOG`) — how do you instead link directly to running one specific named report, skipping the dialog/search step entirely?

Q: A Lobby Link Element can successfully open the generic report dialog box for a report family (for example using a syntax like `ifsrep:ORDER_REPORT_DIALOG`) — how do you instead link directly to running one specific named report, skipping the dialog/search step entirely?

Use ifsrep: with the actual internal identifier of the specific report you want to run directly (for example ifsrep:ORDER_INTAKE_REP to run a specific order-intake report), instead of a generic dialog-dispatcher identifier like ORDER_REPORT_DIALOG — this opens straight into running that named report rather than first presenting a report-selection dialog.

Answer

Use ifsrep:<REPORT_IDENTIFIER> with the actual internal identifier of the specific report you want to run directly (for example ifsrep:ORDER_INTAKE_REP to run a specific order-intake report), instead of a generic dialog-dispatcher identifier like ORDER_REPORT_DIALOG — this opens straight into running that named report rather than first presenting a report-selection dialog.
