Adding the Product Description Prompt Data for Reporting
Adding the Product Description Prompt Data for Reporting
As a result of the report structure and report
specification requirements, sometimes it is not possible to accurately
reference the prompt "ProductDescription" in a report. An example of
this would be when trying to group on that prompt value. Another example would
be when the report databand structure does not support a relationship between
two dataset tables - such as OptimizationResults or PlacedSheets (part or
material based) and Prompts (product-based).
The procedure in the
attached video allows you to define the ProductDescription prompt value as a
ProductComments1 field, and thus accurately exposes it to reports with complex
data requirements.
The video assumes
that you do not have ProductComments1 already in use for some other purpose. If
it is in use, you may have to reconfigure the existing comments to be located
elsewhere.
Lastly, the video
demonstrates the procedure with a single product. If you need to modify your
entire library and are proficient using the Library Designer, we recommend that
you first back up a copy of your library and proceed to make the modifications
contained in this video using the Library Designer.
