Hi ,

AX 2012 R3

I have created a new design for prodRouteCard report and running report for production order.

Report title in the title bar is showing as Route Card while I have created a design for material check List so I want to display the report name in the report title bar as "Material checklist".

Label usually come from menu item where report was called. This is specified in the class where I am calling my new design as well.

I have tried to add a new output menu by duplicating and renaming the prodRouteCard output menu, changing the new menu label to desired text and then adding this output menu to a privilege prodRouteCardGenerate but when I call this menu item then I get the permission error.

so is there a way to change the report tile in the titlebar at run time?

Regards,

Nadeem

If you want to use an additional menu item and aren't able to configure security properly, please give us more information than that it's a permission error.

If you want to change a title at runtime, please tell us what title you're talking about. The title of report parameters window? The title of report viewer (when printing reports to screen)? Or something else?

Regarding first two options, I think it's taken from the report controller (e.g. caption()) and you can replace the default logic with your own.

Details about the error when using a new output menu:

I have created a duplicate of output menu ProdRouteCard and renamed it along with new label.

I have also added this new menu point to ProdRouteCardGenerate privilage.

There are two places where this menu is being used.

First the the above privilage and second is class\ProdUpdRelease where I am calling this new menu.

If I double click the erorr then it takes me to Classes\MenuFunction\Run

Error: Insufficient rights to execute FTM 2 PER_ProdCheckList.

if (isCLRSession || specialCaseSRS)
{
// Check security.
if(appl.isRunningMode())
{
hasAccess = hasMenuItemSecurityAccess(this);
if(!hasAccess)
{

throw error(strfmt("@SYS339383", this.AOTtypeStr(), this.AOTname()));
}
}

I forced the cursor to bypass this and it worked. I restarted my session after that and it worked as well.

New menu item option is working for me.

I have tried below options which didn't work.

controller.parmReportContract().parmReportCaption(“@SYS323601”);

Changing the label worked itself but report still displayed the same old labvl.

TreeNode node;

node = TreeNode::findNode("\\Menu Items\\Display\\AccountingDistributions");

if (node != null)

{

info(strFmt("Old value: %1", node.AOTgetProperty("Label")));

node.AOTsetProperty("Label", "Your value");

info(strFmt("New value: %1", node.AOTgetProperty("Label")));

}

Thanks Martin for the input.

All right, so you mean the caption of the report viewer form.

But now we're talking about two different things:

- using a different menu item (which requires solving the permission issue)

- setting the title from code

Which one do you want address? If you want both for some reason, I suggest you split this thread and discuss each problem in its own thread.

Hi Nadeem,

you can set it on dialog's caption.

controller.parmDialogCaption("Report caption");
