Continuing the discussion from Auto Print Report Parameters Document
and from Documentation of what the Parameters of "Set up Auto Print" are:
Does anyone have any documentation regarding the values that can be used with the various Auto Print report parameters??? Seems to be more closely guarded than the DaVinci Code!
Hey @Hally, @bordway, @ckrusen, @Randy and @hkeric.wci
Since you all posted to the old topics referenced above, I wanted to ping you to see if any of you were ever able to find this information. I opened a case with Epicor Support, but that effectively went nowhere, having been given references to two KB articles and told that beyond those “assistance can be purchased from Epicor’s Professional Services group”!
Hi Scott, thanks for direct ping. I’ll have to go back and take a revisit… Been a bit busy with a new job, so Epiusers has taken a bit of a back seat, for the short term…
Pretty poor response though., no wonder people just end up building their own functions… All the flexibility without the restrictions and hassle of working out if it will work… And course forgetting which to use queued or immediate…
I’m no longer an Epicor user. Haven’t been for about 3-4 years now. And my knowledge was limited to E10.
I don’t know if Epicor has gotten any better, but I was hardly impressed with the online help. The help descriptions were laughable. It would be like:
NeedBy - The date it is needed.
No info on how that date is used in relation to other aspects like MRP. I suspect the help for the Auto print widget to be:
Auto Print dialog - A dialog window to set parameters that control Auto Print functionality.
It’s like the figured if they don’t officially docusomething, the can arbitrarily change how it works without “breaking” anything. Anyone that used it in the pior version be damned.
</rant>
I found experimentation to be my best source of info. Second only to info on this site.
Good luck.
Hey Scott,
Agree with every else that documentation for auto-print in insufficient. I’m not longer at the company I was back then and we’re not doing auto-print. I’m sorry I can’t help.
Ok so the application help says this.
"
Report Parameters Fields (BPM Workflow Designer > Other > Auto Print)
The Report Parameters tab lists the parameters available on the selected report. The list is assembled from the fields and options presented to the user in the report program for the selected report."
So essentially these are the list of the parameters to execute the related report, the UIXml field relates to that old school way of being able to pass criteria and filters into the report (if I recall correctly, I have not done this for a long time).
So depending on the report you should be able to tie it back. In the help it also mentioned correlations to baq report criteria and filter parameters as well.
Do a search for “Report Parameters Fields” you should see one for autoprint
in classic help or search for Exploring Auto Print in the Kinetic help… I hope that helps.
