Controlling fullscreen mode using URL

Hello,

 

Please can you tell me how to make the user see a report on fullscreen mode by default, by adjusting the URL address? Is it possible?

 

Many thanks,

 

CW

Add ?chromeless=true at the end of your URL if you have no existing parameters. You can also combine chromeless=true with url filters using an ampersand (&). This follows how URL parameters work on most websites (e.g. Google search results).

Hi there

I have tried adding ?chromeless=true and ?chromeless=1 to the end of my URL and it doesn't seem to work. Any idea why? It used to always work but I have a new laptop (using Windows 11) and it no longer works.

Just in case anyone else stumbles across this, I think it is supposed to be '?' not '&'. 

(at least it was for the URL I was using)

e.g. ?chomeless=true

Have I solved your problem?

? starts the GET variables section at the end of a URL, if there are other GET variables then you need to use & to add it to the end of the list. If there are no other GET variables then use ? to start the GET variable section. Hope that make sense?
