Disable 'Full Report' option in Report Link?

I have a report viewable by EOTI.  It's embedded in an iframe version of a form in edit view.  The purpose is to allow a client to edit fields of their own client record, based on a link sent to them for sake of updating.  I've got it nicely locked down where they can't get into other records, or ever see the Quickbase headers, EXCEPT...

I have two report links embedding simple table reports.  The EOTI permissions are set in a strict manner where everything is functioning as I need.  The report links though, have the 'Full Report' button at the top of the embedded table report.  On the off chance a client clicks that 'Full Report' option, they are directed to a page that has a 'Home' button on it.  If clicked, that is a gateway to see other clients' information.

I simply need to show a table of contacts and another table of related records on the client facing side.  Is there any way to remove that 'Full Report' option?  Or a better way to show related records in a view-only state?  I can disable all editing functionality, but as long as that 'Full Report' option is there, I can't allow a client to access these links. Any ideas?

  • Rather than try to fight your way to suppress that full report, how about if you go into their EOTI Role and hide every single table and land them either on a blank dashboard as their default dashboard page or a dashboard page with some kind a message on it. That way if they escape out of your iframe and hit the home button at least they won't see anything.

      Mark,
      Thanks for the quick reply.  And I'm assuming from your response that the 'Full Report' link can't be suppressed?  Or at least not easily?

      It took me a minute to digest your idea, but yeah.... that's perfect.  Done and done.  The best solution would definitely be having the ability to turn off that link, and having searched the history of comments, it seems that I'm not the only one that feels that way.  Until that's an option though, your solution at least gets me where I need to go.  Thank you very much sir!!

        Right, there is no native way to disable the full report from appearing. You can get into advanced non native techniques that may not be supported in the future and I try to stay away from them.
