Menu Item for Report Style

Yahoo Archive
1
Yes, I have been setting up report styles, and they work well in most
situations. The problem I have, is that I have one group of people
who will run this report several times a day using one style, and
another group of people who will run it several times a day using
another style. I was just hoping for a way to create an icon for each
group that defaulted to the required style to avoid confusion.
Granted it is one simple step, but if it could be removed it would be
of benefit.

Thank you,
Craig

I have created a modified version of the Production Detail report. It
is for our shop supervisors, so I want it to be simple for them to run.
Many people use the production detail report, so I don't want to make
the custom version the default.

Is there a way to create a menu item that will call a customization
that only has this specific report style, or at least has it as the
default? I tried creating a new report defenition, but I don't see how
to call it from the menu maintenance. Do I need the SDK to do this?
Thanks,
Craig Weiss

Just go into Report Maintenance and add a new report. There is no need to
create a new report definition. Then add the report definition and correct
style, etc. to the report and select it as the default. That can now be
added to menu.

I have created a modified version of the Production Detail report. It
is for our shop supervisors, so I want it to be simple for them to run.
Many people use the production detail report, so I don't want to make
the custom version the default.

Is there a way to create a menu item that will call a customization
that only has this specific report style, or at least has it as the
default? I tried creating a new report defenition, but I don't see how
to call it from the menu maintenance. Do I need the SDK to do this?

I understand how to make it a new report, but how can you call the
report from the menu. None of the program types allow me to select
the report I created. The production detail's type is menu item, but
this only allows the selection of a program. Any guidance would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

If all you did was create a new style for the production detail
report, you don't have to mess with adding anything to the menu. You
can just run the normal production detail report. on the options form
for the report, there is a dropdown labeled "report style". select
your newly created report style from this list.
