 I&amp;#39;m in the process of building a &amp;quot;menu&amp;quot; for 100+ reports in order to give users the ability to select the report they&amp;#39;d like to view rather than populating the Reports tab with dozens and dozens of reports. The idea is to create a simple interface</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: How to load an interface section by UUID?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/65146?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Mar 2019 13:50:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:773c085a-dc16-498d-bf57-7f046868b455</guid><dc:creator>Marcel Paradies</dc:creator><description>With eval(&amp;quot;rule!reportInterface1()&amp;quot;), you would be able to evaluate a string literal as function call. Now, it&amp;#39;s an undocumented function - so the standard disclaimer &amp;quot;don&amp;#39;t do it if you can avoid it&amp;quot; applies. However, custom-building reports is not something I would do in Appian, either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were in your shoes, I would first check whether I could use an external tool for the reporting and then include that output into my reporting tab. See the 19.1 Product Announcement Webinar for a quick demo of how this could look with PowerBI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 If you are dead-set on Appian, I&amp;#39;d give eval() a chance. And if you&amp;#39;re going this route with 100+ reports, maybe build yourself a custom picker rather than a multiple dropdown field.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
