The dialog appears when you set the Default Format for Viewing Report property of a report tab to Applet and then click in the value cell in the Report Inspector. It helps you to specify the parameters for running a report tab in Applet format. See the dialog.
The following are details about options in the dialog:
Pop-up Window
Specifies to show an Applet window when viewing a report.
Zip Result
Specifies to compress the result and its size would be smaller.
Java Plug-in 1.2 for Windows
Directs applets to run using Sun's 1.2 Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Java Plug-in 1.3 for Windows
Directs applets to run using Sun's 1.3 Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Run Linked Report
If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports in the Applet result. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.
Note: You'd better specify a file destination when exporting a report via Applet, such as D:\folder\filename.pdf
in case you may not find the result. By default when exporting a report via Applet on Internet Explorer, the exported result will be located on the Desktop, and when on Firefox, it will be in its installation root.
If you do not have the Read or Write permission to the default location or the location you specified, you will get an access denied error. To handle this, add the required permission in jdk\jre\lib\security\java.policy that the applet uses:
For the default location "Desktop":
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.dir", "read";
permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.home}${/}Desktop${/}*", "read,write";
For user defined location:
permission java.io.FilePermission "D:${/}temp${/}*", "read,write";
OK
Applies the changes and closes the dialog.
Cancel
Cancels the changes and exits the dialog.
