Subject: RE: [Vantage] Interesting twist for paperless reports


In the past week I have had several people asking for an example of a report
to create HTML documents using report builder. I have posted a complete
example (with a downloadable PRL file) out on my web site, under the
"Tips-n-Tricks" section. If you download the sample report and run an
Export on it from Report Builder saving it to a filename.HTML file you will
have a web page of the orders with releases entered into your Vantage system
yesterday. I admit its not much but what do you want in 15 minutes.

This new concept of WEB page creation has opened up a whole realm of
possibilities for our Intranet. We have almost 50 reports that are
automatically generated and printed every week. By now converting a lot
these to HTML and specifying a location on the company Intranet we can save
a ream of paper a week.

Michael, could you post your RB file to the group? I would be extremely
interested to see how you incorporated the HTML tags.
Thanks

Just for fun I took and wrote a simple report builder report in a generic
text format and included HTML tags in the report. When ran and printed to
a
file "TEST.HTM" I had an instant web document for the company intranet.
Has
anybody else tried this? I figure this is just another way of
distributing
reports that will also help save a few trees too.

Can't attach files, so here is the basic idea:

Section | Report
-------------------------------------------------------
title | <HTML><TITLE>report name</TITLE><BODY>
| <TABLE BORDER=0>
| <TR><TD ALIGN=CENTER>Job Numbers</TD>
| <TD ALIGN=CENTER>Part Numbers</TD></TR>
------------|------------------------------------------
Record | <TR><TD ALIGN=RIGHT>JobHead.JobNum</TD>
| <TD ALIGN=RIGHT>JobHead.PartNum</TD></TR>
------------|------------------------------------------
Summary | </TABLE></BODY></HTML>


This would generate a HTML file containing all Job Numbers and part numbers
from the JobHeader table. Add a filter for open/released and you now have a
web page containing all your open jobs. Its a simple report but hopefully
it gives you the idea. All the HTML tags are just text fields.

Michael:

Could you perhaps post the RB file to the yahoogroups file section so we
could see exactly how the report was setup in report builder.
Thanks.
