Configurable report URLs

Earlier versions of LiveCompare had a problem with generating URL strings that pointed to reports. If you connected to the LiveCompare server using ‘localhost’ in the URL, any reports generated included ‘localhost’ in their URL strings. Users connecting to LiveCompare from client machines couldn't access reports stored on the server, since ‘localhost’ referred to each local client machine.

LiveCompare releases 2.1 and above include a configuration setting named ReportBaseUrl. If you set this value, LiveCompare uses it as a prefix for all report URLs generated by workflow actions. You should normally set it to the LiveCompare URL, using an explicit server name and a trailing ‘/’, for example:

http://myserver.tricentis.com/LiveCompare/.

This allows report URLs generated by LiveCompare to be valid from any client machine that can access the myserver.tricentis.com server.

If you have LiveCompare Administrator permissions, you can set the ReportBaseUrl value from the Configuration - Reports screen.
