Crystal Reports link to data using a url - crystal-reports

Help much appreciated.
How do I link to data through a url in Crystal Reports.
I can do this in Power BI using 'Get Data' - 'Web' and them pasting in the url.
I can't see how to do it in Crystal.
An example of the type of url I am using is
https://anexample.netdesk.com/api/Report/176f91y1-cd72-47g6-9fgh-dcff77657ga9
Thanks
Pete

In Crystal Reports 2016 you can do this by opening the Database Expert, then expand "Create New Connection", then expand "XML and Web Services". The window that opens will then have a radio button you can select that is labeled "User HTTP(S) Data Source".

Insert a Power BI report into a custom page in AL

I'm new in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and AL code and my boss told me that he wants to see a new page in our sandbox environment that shows a Power BI embedded on it. Is there any way to show something like the right part of the standard "Customer list" that you can select the Power BI report?
Thanks in advance
page 50101 "Sample Page"
{
PageType = Card;
ApplicationArea = All;
UsageCategory = Lists;
}
This is the result that I'd like or something similar.

I haven't done this, but I believe you should be able to embed Power BI report using Control Add-In.
The control add-in object allows you to add custom functionality to Dynamics 365 Business Central. A control add-in is a custom control, or visual element, for displaying and modifying data within an iframe or a page. For example, a control add-in can display the content of a webpage, visualize data as a chart or on a map, or host a custom web application.

Sending email of dashboard view (Jenkins)

I have installed the "Dashboard view" plugin on Jenkins. It generates reports as expected. I'd like to notify other team members of these reports via email. I tried using the email-ext plugin and went through the editable email notification option. But, I couldn't figure out how to attach these reports (generated in the dashboard view). Is something like this possible to do and can someone please guide me how this can be done?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)
Not familiar with "Dashboard view" but I do remember if you use post-build step from email-ext, you can specify the "Attachment" field in "Advanced settings".
If the report generated by "Dashboard view" is an HTML file or some other readable file, I think you can just put the path to the "Attachment" field. If it is something like a json or xml, feel like you should send them the link to the report on Jenkins (usually it is just the link shown in your browser when you view this report).

My Requirement :

If you are creating a report that will be exported to pdf, and then you need the link works in that pdf, you can do this. Create a formula like below
#link ---> place inside your description
"your description"
Place it on your report. Then go to insert hyperlink(make sure that your formula is selected) icon and select on Hyperlink tab the option that says A website on the Internetand paste the link address where says Website Address and the same thing if you need more than one.

SSRS reports is showing as listed directory

How can I get SSRS reports to show a web page view?
When I go to the SSRS reports page, it's not showing the web page view. It shows a list of data sources, data sets and report folders.
After going inside the reports folder, I can invoke the report by clicking on them without any issues.

Please look at the image above.
You're browsing to the Report Server web service, typically http://server/ReportServer. Sounds like you're after the Report Manager website, typically http://server/Reports.
Web Service URL:
Report Manager URL:
Connect to your report server and type the following in the url link:
127.0.0.1/reports
All good answers to work through the issue.
An additional suggestion is the Web Portal URL binding. I bunged it up when a HTTPS binding was added.
