Overview:
When using your dashboard to trigger Xport Wizard services, Xport Wizard generates your output file on the application server. Upon completion, Xport Wizard will return the URL to your dashboard. This returned URL has a specific variable name that can be configured inside of Xport Wizard. You need to make sure that your dashboard references the same variable name to consume and bind this variable. In Xcelsius you can define your return URL variable within the same XML Data button that sends data to your Xport Wizard Service.

3. Bind the variable to a single cell.
   

Your dashboard is now configured to receive the URL for each file that Xport Wizard generates during runtime.
