How to Use 6 Custom Report Layouts with 6 Action Buttons in Payment Journal?

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU25111417-0 120
Hi,
I created a report Extension  based on Report ID 2 (General Journal – Test) and added six different custom layouts.
I am using this report in the Payment Journal, where I added six custom action buttons, one for each layout.
Now I want to make this process dynamic so that all six action buttons can trigger their corresponding layout correctly.
Below is the code I’m using.
 
 rendering
    {
        layout("2-000001")
        {
          
            Type = RDLC;
            LayoutFile = 'SRC/RDLC/testreport1.rdl';
        }
        layout("2-000002")
        {
           
            Type = RDLC;
            LayoutFile = 'SRC/RDLC/testreport2.rdl';
        }
        layout("2-000003")
        {
           
            Type = RDLC;
            LayoutFile = 'SRC/RDLC/testreport3.rdl';
        }
        layout("2-000004") // changes-D----
        {
          
            Type = RDLC;
            LayoutFile = 'SRC/RDLC/testreport4.rdl';
        }
        layout("2-000005")
        {
           
            Type = RDLC;
            LayoutFile = 'SRC/RDLC/testreport5.rdl';
        }
        layout("2-000006")
        {
           
            Type = RDLC;
            LayoutFile = 'SRC/RDLC/testreport6.rdl';
        }
       
 
    }
 
This code is for a Page Extension and handles only one action button. Based on this, I need to add the remaining action buttons for the other report layouts
 
 action(Test1)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
                Caption = 'Test1';
                Image = Print;
                trigger OnAction()
                var
                    Genline: Record "Gen. Journal Line";
                    DesigntimeReportSelection: Codeunit "Design-time Report Selection";
                begin
                    Genline.Reset();
                    Genline.SetRange("Journal Template Name", Rec."Journal Template Name");
                    Genline.SetRange("Journal Batch Name", Rec."Journal Batch Name");
                    DesigntimeReportSelection.SetSelectedLayout('2-000001');
                    Report.Run(Report::"General Journal - Test", true, true, Genline);
                end;
            }
 
This code is working, but I need it to be dynamic.

    Hello,
     
    Make it dynamic by moving the logic into one procedure:
    RunGenJnlTestWithLayout(LayoutName: Text)

    Then each button just calls:
    RunGenJnlTestWithLayout('2-00000X');

    Only the layout code changes, everything else is shared.

    Hi,
     
    The code I am sharing with you compiles well but I have not tested the code. You can check if this works for you -  
    actions
{
    area(Processing)
    {
        action(Test1)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            Caption = 'Test1';
            Image = Print;
            trigger OnAction()
            begin
                RunGenJournalWithLayout('2-000001');
            end;
        }
        action(Test2)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            Caption = 'Test2';
            Image = Print;
            trigger OnAction()
            begin
                RunGenJournalWithLayout('2-000002');
            end;
        }
        action(Test3)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            Caption = 'Test3';
            Image = Print;
            trigger OnAction()
            begin
                RunGenJournalWithLayout('2-000003');
            end;
        }
        action(Test4)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            Caption = 'Test4';
            Image = Print;
            trigger OnAction()
            begin
                RunGenJournalWithLayout('2-000004');
            end;
        }
        action(Test5)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            Caption = 'Test5';
            Image = Print;
            trigger OnAction()
            begin
                RunGenJournalWithLayout('2-000005');
            end;
        }
        action(Test6)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            Caption = 'Test6';
            Image = Print;
            trigger OnAction()
            begin
                RunGenJournalWithLayout('2-000006');
            end;
        }
    }
}

local procedure RunGenJournalWithLayout(LayoutId: Text[30])
var
    Genline: Record "Gen. Journal Line";
    DesigntimeReportSelection: Codeunit "Design-time Report Selection";
begin
    // prepare dataset (same as you had)
    Genline.Reset();
    Genline.SetRange("Journal Template Name", Rec."Journal Template Name");
    Genline.SetRange("Journal Batch Name", Rec."Journal Batch Name");

    // choose design-time layout
    DesigntimeReportSelection.SetSelectedLayout(LayoutId);

    // run the report (modal, preview/print as before)
    Report.Run(Report::"General Journal - Test", true, true, Genline);
end;
     
    Do mark as verified if this helps.
