Pass a parameter to a report via URL and access from dynamic condition

[marcuse_walker-]

Is is possible to pass a parameter to an existing ServiceNow report via the URL and then access the parameter in the report through a dynamic javascript condition?

Hello Marcus,

I think currently it's not possible. However, I have found few threads mentioned below which may be helpful.

Hi Marcus,

I searched this for my own usage and I confirm this is not possible in the Now Platform.

This is really sad, as there are so many nice reports I could implement if it was.

I worked full time as a Reporting Specialist, using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), for four years. Passing parameters via URL is supported in SSRS and it's an essential feature if you want to integrate dynamic reports to an external website or intranet. SSRS is so much powerful than ServiceNow, even with Performance Analytics. I'm often frustrated by the ServiceNow Reporting limitations.

If I had to implement complex reports with complex layouts, I think I would create DataSets using data imported from ServiceNow but generate the reports in SSRS.

I did not have the occasion to test my idea... Yet!
