Hi All,
I would like to display a report in UI. So how to display the report definition UI (In the same section) using iframe in HTML which will be called from an activity using Show-HTML.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information Santanu. It was very helpful.
Now the problem is that though the report is getting displayed in the frame, when I click on any row to see the drill down report it is opening in the same window overriding the portal user logged in. And when I close the drill down report the entire user portal is getting closed. We want to open this drill down report in a pop up window or in a layout beneath the parent report and when we close the drill down report only that report has to be closed keeping all other sections and the portal open. Is there any way to achieve this.
We checked if there is any configuration availaible in the Report Definition rule form, but couldnt find it.

Hi
In general, the drill down open in the same window. If you want to go back to the main report, the best way to do it is click backspace button.

But our requirement is thet the report should open in new window so that the user can have a look at the main report and drill down report simultaneously. So is there any way of achieveing it in OOTB way?
Also, the script that was given in the previous post for running the report definition using iframe was working. But once the iframe is loaded remaining controls in that section are not working. In the same section I also have a drop down, on selection of which the corresponding report will be displayed. But when the choose the value from the drop down nothing is happening, screen is remaining idle.
I tried to trace the events that might trigger. But even the trace is blank showing nothing is running.

Hi Santanu, Thanks for your reply.It was helpfull.We are using pega 7.2 .Ours is a summary type report with many groupby columns,so displaying in repeat grid is Not possible. So we are using a link control and on Click of that link we are runnning report using run report definition action in UI ,so how to display the report within the tab or harness.As analternative approachIf the report is Configured to display in a new tab report is displaying and when user drills down another report is displaying in a popup ,this is the OOTB behaviour,but if user clicks on close X button of the drill downn it is closing the entire portal.please suggest. TIA.
Hello,
You can refer a report definition directly only if you have a chart associated with it by using "Chart"control.
Otherwise you can use grid and mark the report definition as the source of it.
If none of them satisfies your design requirement then the workaround described in the attached document can help . But please note , it is least recommended way of achieving this.
