Report Activity doesn't trigger File Download dialog
Working in the Workflow Designer that came with GE 3.11.
I'm working on a workflow that lets users Select parcels and the run a mailing labels report to output to .rtf. I've noticed that in Internet Explorer, the Report Activity's "View Report" button doesn't trigger the File Download dialog for Word documents. As such, nothing will open. If I run a report using the built in tool that uses the Download Report button, I do get the prompt, and if I uncheck the always ask checkbox, then the View Report button works. So it appears that View Report doesn't call the File Download dialog, meaning that it won't work unless the user uses the default tool first to run Download Report and then uncheck the always ask box (not great user experience). Is there some way to get the View Report button to trigger the file download dialog?
The reason I'm not using the default report tool is because my users need to be able to select non-adjacent parcels, so they need the ability to run multiple selections with the Display Capture Geometry activity.
Thanks in advance,
John Nerge

Geocortex helped me with this one, so I thought I'd share the workaround.
Originally I had the ShowOpenReport argument on the Report activity set to True, which is what triggers the View Report button to appear when the report is ready (but doesn't call the File Open dialog when clicked). Per the recommendation, I changed the ShowOpenReport argument to False and instead captured the Result Url argument in a new variable. I then used that variable in a Display Hyperlink activity as the Hyperlink URI argument, and when the user clicks this link the File Open dialog does appear.
