Making on demand sub report hyperlink invisible - crystal-reports

I have a report with an embedded hyperlink to an on demand sub report. I am trying to make the hyperlink invisible and then place it on top of a text object so that when a user clicks on the text object, the link activates and takes the user to the sub report. i tried formatting the sub report font to crNocolor in the formula bar, but it did nt seem to work. Thanks

Why not enter the link details into the Hyperlink section of the text object in Format Editor?

Click on your text object and Right click->Format Text->Hyperlink and you'll see the panel as shown below (picture is from the Standalone CR Developer XI). I've never used this feature, but can you use it to link to your on-demand report?

Add multi page text box in Crystal Reports 2013

We have a multi-page Terms and Conditions which needs to print out at then end of our Quotes. I created a single row text box and pasted it in. I tried it in Page Footer a and well as Page Footer b. I formatted the text box: Can Grow with all the other boxes unchecked. I can scroll down through it to see it is all there in the text box, but when I View Preview it doesn't expand beyond one page. How can I make it grow into multiple pages?
It worked when placed in the Report Footer b section.

Jasper report - Collapsible Input section

Is there a way to make the input section (filters) collapsible while viewing the report in jasper? This is to get a wider view of the entire report. The input section takes away some space. So, once I select my filters, I would want a mechanism to collapse it. Is there a way for this?
Thanks

If you right-click the report in the repository browser and choose Edit, you can customize how the input controls layout in the report viewer, for example you could choose Pop-up window.
See here for a description of all the layouts: https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v640/customizing-report-rendering-page
There is a way. You can use "Input Controls" icon available in the Report Viewer Tool Bar to show/ hide the filters for a report. See image here:
Show-Hide Input controls
Alternatively, if you got Commercial edition of Jasper Reports Server, you can create your own custom report viewer page to add auto hide feature for input controls (filters) and can embed reports inside it using Visualize.js.

Subreport needs persistent legend text

I am using Crystal Reports XI and trying to create a text box that would be displayed on every page of my multi-paged subreport. The text box exists on either the left or right hand side of the resulting pages. Right now, I am only able to display the text box once and only because the text box is placed on the main report. I tried to place the text box on a possible "page" section of the subreport but was not able to find such section.
Appreciate whatever suggestions you have. Thank you all! Sincerely,
You can place a repeating text box in the page header or page footer section that will print on every page.
That is the most reliable way to guarantee it showing on each page. The real question is: What kind of information are you wanting to display? If it is dynamic information that changes with the data on each page, the solution is much more complicated. If you are showing a static item, like a disclaimer, then the solution provided should be sufficient.
If you need more specific help, please provide more information regarding type of content and what you have or haven't tried. This will keep people from wasting time on solutions you know don't work...

How to give hyperlink in HTML 5 Chart in iReport

I want to give hyperlink in HTML 5 Chart, so that If I click anywhere in the chart area , that should be redirected to the different report.
How can I achieve this in iReport?
A Jaspersoft employee just directed me to this article on the wiki. Summary of the article:
Edit Chart Properties->Chart Data->Data Axes
Under Categories, click to add/modify the one you want
Click the properties tab, and then "Add"
Give a name, such as "myUrl" and then enter the URL and close it
Under measure, select the one you want to link and click Hyperlink
Double click each to edit as you wish
If you want a different report depending on the slice, you'll need to set the URL expression in a property for the category bucket. The bucket properties weren't showing up for me, but I figured out you can type it in as bucket_name.property_name (say bucket was named urlBucket and property was myUrl: urlBucket.myUrl). If it is one report for the entire report, you can set it as a constant in the measure hyperlink.
Usually if you right click in any charts in Ireport and select "hyperlink" .
There you can add the hyperlink details like which report you want to add and pass parameters from main report to child report.
You can refer this link
(But i am not sure about HTML5 charts because I use community edition and in community edition we don't have HTML5 charts)

how to create watermark background in crystal report?

hello
i want to create watermark background in crystal report.
one way is:
1- On the Report menu, click Section Expert.
The Section Expert dialog box appears.
2- In the Sections list, click Page Header, then select the Underlay Following Sections check box.
3- Click OK to preview the report again.
but in this solution lines and boxes in report design page appear back of background image.
what is better solution?
the solution to this problem is make a subreport, the main report will only have the watermark on page header A, and the subreport on page header B
Your method is the best way to do it, as far as I know.
On your background don't forget to right-click->move->to back. That should put the background image in the back and all other report elements in the front.
