The viewer has the ability to call the report designer (use the Design button on the viewer toolbar). By default, this button is disabled. Set the showDesignButton property to True, and also define the onDesignReport event.

 

app.py

 

from stimulsoft_reports.viewer import StiViewer

 

viewer = StiViewer()

viewer.onDesignReport += 'designReport'

 

 

viewer.html

 

<script>

  function designReport(args) {

       window.location.href = "/designer?report=" + args.fileName;

   }

</script>

 

 

 

A detailed description of the available argument values you may read in the Viewer Events section.

 

Information

 

The viewer itself does not initiate the designer; it solely triggers the specified event and passes the file name and the report being viewed as arguments. Within the event, you can redirect to the web page hosting the report designer and pass the required parameters.
