BIP – Providing Link of BIP report on Self Service
There is one common requirement where Employees should access reports directly from self-service instead of navigating to analytics. In such cases, a report link can be created and added as a static link on Navigator. This will enable the employee to access report directly. The report can be then viewed in different views using different parameters in report link.
Steps to enable report link on self-service:
- Derive the report link. Navigate to analytics and open the report:
