WQ document Report Heading

Db2 Web Query is used to make both single and compound reports. Compound reports are made by opening a document and adding multiple reports. Current Db2 Web Query behavior of reports contained within a document fail to perform as designed in InfoAssist. Would be helpful to have them work as originally designed with working Table of Contents, Headings, Totals and Traffic lighting as originally specified. Especially when such reports will be emailed (via Report Broker/Scheduler) to recipients.


Use Case:

Wish to create a Document containing a report with table of contents and multiple sections. InfoAssist allows insert EXISTING report inside a document. In Document, User clicks table of contents to move to different data grouping in the report. The heading said "Audio" but when user clicks grouping "Cameras", the data changes to Cameras, but the heading still says Audio. User is confused due to mix-up on heading. Make heading change with data selected. Make sure report features seen in InfoAssist Designer all work inside document after Insert Existing report.

    A possible work around is to enable a dynamic page header in AHTML reports or AHTML documents; it requires manual modification and should be enabled at the report level, not on a server level. You have to add the following SET command using the text editor:
    SET ARFLDHEADFOOT = ON
    The setting is turned off by default to avoid any upward compatibility.
    That said, it is not recommended to text edit reports because they may not open in IA and because they are not supported.

    IBM agrees with the request intends to provide a solution. However, our plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
