Re: Can link back to record from R6 XML report output

I have a simple XML report which returns some record details based on a user-supplied TOK. The record is reported okay in the usual R6 tabulated output window, but when I click the mouse on any of the returned values (e.g. the TOK or species name) expecting to be linked through to the full R6 record, nothing happens. I notice also that things like 'send to map' and 'export to GE' are low-lighted on the report output menu. Am I missing something?

Re: Can link back to record from R6 XML report output

Sorry, just found this in the documentation: "Through the Columns tag it is possible to set up the ability for a user to navigate to a data screen which contains the record on the report. When this is set up clicking on a designated column will take the user to the relevant data screen." I guess that will fix my problem.

Re: Can link back to record from R6 XML report output

As you have discovered the Column tag attributes 'keycolumn' and 'tablename'  control what happens when you click on a field in the report results.  Tablename can be  Survey,Event,Sample, Taxon_Occurrence, Biotope_Occurrence,Location ,Name, Location, Feature, Document, Taxon, Biotope and Admin. 

Show on map and export require certain fields. Not sure without checking which ones, but I suspect sample spatial reference is necessary.
