Hi pentaho has an example in its sample reports email_inventory_inline_HTML.xaction and inventory.prpt in the directory: biserver-ce\pentaho-solutions\bi-developers\reporting\unified-file-format. The xaction script sends a report defined in inventory.prpt by email ( within the body of the email ).
How do I do a similar thing. I am able to send my email via xaction but the resulting report in the email body has not styling or coloring. How do I implement inline styling in pentaho report designer. I am looking at invertory.prpt but cannot figure out how they did this. Help I need styling in my emailed reports.
When I run the example report (inventory.prpt) as an html output I realise the elements have in-line css and this is clearly what makes the styling visible in an email body; however my report references css classes for the styling. How do I turn this feature off. I am trying to find what about inventory.prpt makes its html output have inline css but to no avail. Any help will be appreciated
This is not really a solution but it worked for me.
I modified the inventory.prpt example report to my specifications. I am not sure if this is the case but it seems the css inline feature is custom to the inventory.prpt report canvas. So a few changes and replacements here and there and I was good to go. Like magic !
