Show Active projects on a program report hyperlinked

Hello!

 

I have a basic text mode function I found elsewhere on here, but I'd like to improve it a little bit. I am using a program report and I used the below to display the active projects going on under the program. How can I link them so they are easily clickable and filter to ones in a status called "Active" OR "In Review"? And, bonus points if they can be each on a separate line. Thanks so much to all the text mode heroes out there!

displayname=Projects
listdelimiter=<hr>
listmethod=nested(projects).lists
type=iterate
valuefield=project:name
valueformat=HTML

Hi @ElizaBarryGuild  -

 

1. hyperlink the results - this is not possible with collections since it's returning multiple results into a single column. There are a few nuisances with collection reporting since it's a one to many relationship.

2. Filter for only active: Update your valuefield to a value expression and use this code. Each status in your system has a 3 letter code that identifies it. You'll want to update this to represent your systems systems code for "active/current" projects. In mine it's CUR but in others I've seen it can vary (things like INP) so check the setup of your system if you aren't familiar. If you want to do multiple statuses then you'll have to do a larger expression with multiple IFs or adding in Ands and Ors

 

valueexpression=IF({status}="your 3 letter code for status",{name})

IF({status}="CUR",{name})

Multiple statuses
IF({status}="PLN"||{status}="CUR",{name})

3. To get collections to display in line change the listdelimiter to something else

 

listdelimiter=<p>

This is the delimiter which is used to separate the values in your list.
We recommend to use <p> which adds a line break between the values.

You can also use the following:

&zwj; (zero-width joiner). The values of the collection have no separation between them.
, =comma separator. The values of the collection are separated by a comma followed by no space.
/ = slash separator. The values of the collection are separated by a slash.
- = dash separator. The values of the collection are separated by a dash.
Leaving this line empty adds a comma followed by a space between the values of the collection, by default.
