How to open server report using report path at the time of opening the Report Designer

To open a server report by its report path when the Bold Reports® ASP.NET Core Report Designer opens, bind a function to the create API and call the openReport method with the report path. Use the following steps:

  • Create a function and bind it with the create API in the Index.cshtml file as in the following code snippet:

    <bold-report-designer id="designer" create="controlInitialized"></bold-report-designer>

<script type="text/javascript">
function controlInitialized(args) {
         ...
        }
</script>

  • Use the openReport method in the function along with the report path that was previously created, as in the following code snippet:

     function controlInitialized(args) {
         var designer = $('#designer').data('boldReportDesigner');
         designer.openReport("/Sample Reports/Sales Report");
        }
