Getting JSON Output from Reports

You can output SBM report data to JSON format. This enables you to create custom visualizations for reports, such as graph widgets or tables.

JSON output is available for all report types, except Drill Through, Multi-View and External.

Using Custom Report URLs

Use this method to obtain an URL that you can include in your custom visualization.

  1. Run a report.
  2. Copy the report URL from the Actions list, then paste it into an editor.
  3. Replace the following parameters:

    &template=reports/template

    With:

    &template=reports/jsonoutput

URL example:

Before:

http://servername/workcenter/tmtrack.dll?shell=swc&ReportPage&Template=reports/list&reportid=120

After:

http://servername/workcenter/tmtrack.dll?shell=swc&ReportPage&Template=reports/jsonoutput&reportid=120

Using the JSON Output Template

Use this method to create a report that returns JSON each time it is run.

  1. Create or edit a listing report.
  2. Select the Additional Options page.
  3. From the Optional HTML Template list, select the jsonoutput.htm template.
  4. Save your changes.
