I would like to ask you two more questions as follows in order to give suggestions: 1. Is there a column which holds the identifier of the Record Type (to which you desire to provide link) in your portal report? Or are you in a position to derive the identifier of the Record Type based on the data in your Portal Report? You might be aware of this, but just to reiterate, the identifier is the crucial element in forming the link to Record. 2. Does all the rows in the Report needs to be pointed to one Record Type? Or does the Record Type vary across the data in the report? On the whole, a!recordLink() or fn!urlforrecord() should aid you in configuring the link to respective Record Type. I assume that the users hold privileges to the Record Types that they should access, which otherwise would surface an error while navigation thereafter.

Hi Ramak, I assume you are trying to point process based record. If yes, I also assume that you have a portal task report, Context type as "Tasks assigned to group" have a column name "Process ID", defination="pp!id", formatted as Number and as @Sikkhivahan correctly mentioned "users hold privileges to the Record Types that they should access". Based on above assumptions, I hope attached code gives you an idea on how you can navigate to a record dashboard. SAM_ucColumnConfig SAM_ucColumnConfig

@ramakg In that case you should be able to do something like this - Derive an identifier based on the information you do have in the report. For instance, let's say you have process id in the report the you should be able to derive the identifier of the entity backed record based on the corresponding process id and also a Record Type. If you are able to provide us information re what you have in the report and how you want to link up the same with a record, we would be more than happy to help you.

@ramakg At any cost, in the existing report you should have attributes that helps building a relationship between the process and the Record Type and identifier of the record and this relationship will further assist you in associating each row of the portal report with its associated Record.

If the above isn't possible, you may quickly construct a database entity that identifies the relationship between the process (you may choose process id as identifier) and the corresponding Record Type and record and later in the Tempo Report, you may join the results of the database query with the query analytics datasubset.

In general it would be worth associating the process and its associated Record Type and the Record so that it will be helpful for these kind of usecases in your application later.
