When reports are rendered in the Pentaho User Console, they are rendered via a Pentaho Plugin (Reporting Platform Plugin).

Like .xactions, reports (.prpts) can be accessed via a URL.   This URL can  be easily be created by right clicking on a report (.prpt) and selecting "Create Deep Link". Note:  This encodes the URL.

Launching the report within the Pentaho User Console

In the link below, "name" parameter allows you to assign a name to the tab that will display in the Pentaho User Console.

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/Home?name=Inventory%20in%20PUC&startup-url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fpentaho%2Fcontent%2Freporting%2Freportviewer%2Freport.html%3Fsolution%3Dsteel-wheels%26path%3D%2Freports%26name%3DInventory.prpt

To make this the default behavior for the reporting plugin

Edit the command property in the reportingplugin.xml in /pentaho-solutions/system/reporting/.

For example

Code Block
<operation>
<id>RUN</id>

<command>content/reporting/reportviewer/report.html?solution={solution}&amp;path={path}&name={name}&layout=flow</command>
</operation>


Note: &layout=flow has been added.
