I would like to link a REST URL as datasource.
Would it be possible to have a Parameter that is populated with a reference to the BI Desktop application.
Is there some value that I can use in that Current Value field?
Somebody knows if there are application variables available that I could use for this?
I would then use the parameter to concatinate the source URL:
Via this way I could identify each application user on the system.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Kurt
You'll need to assign an application id from your system.
This is indeed what I was looking for. Any idea how this can be done? Is this a text value between [ ] or { } ? Any idea where I can find these Application Variables?
Thanks in advance for your support!
Based on my experience, you might only input a predefined constant.
