Button in Embedded Report

Is it possible to have a functioning button in an embedded report? One per row/record.

Due to circumstances, I have an embedded report that facilitates mass input of data.

But for things to work, I need a button for each row/record that will allow me to generate the record prior to inputting the data.

It is the only workaround that I have conceived that will still allow me to keep intact my process flow.


Thoughts?

You can definitely have a formula URL button on an embedded report.  But it's Still unclear from your post as to what the button is supposed to do.

Andrew,

Yes, it's possible to have a button within an embedded report and it would behave the way you want it to, but from your description it appears that you've turned on the "editable" setting for your report. With that in place, the button won't be accessible unfortunately.

You found the other option I was going to suggest, and that's to place a button to create a child record on the parent form and this should behave the way you want it to. It seems like you're comfortable with setting this up already, but if you want a useful working example, I covered an API_EditRecord version (instead of API_AddRecord like you would need) during our Empower user conference in June. For a recording of the session, please go here.
