Hi ​@YPADINUSHI ,

As far as standard functionality goes, you cannot directly run an IFS Business Reporter report as a lobby element action. Business Reporter is an Excel-based reporting tool, and published BR reports are surfaced through the IFS Cloud reporting area, not as a native lobby element type.

What you usually can do instead is:

  • add a navigation link from the lobby to somewhere else, or
  • guide users to the published BR report in the reporting area if the report has been published there. Published BR reports must be published in Business Reporter before they appear in IFS Cloud reporting.

So the practical answer is:

No, not directly as a standard lobby element.
The workaround is to use the lobby as a navigation point to the relevant page/report area, rather than trying to execute the BR report itself from the lobby.
