How to select print report

Report

Posted on by Maxence

Hello,

When the user print a quote or invoice, I would like to let him the choice to select the report that he would be print.

Is it possible ?

I have seen that we can add more than one report to a type of document (quote for example), but how put one report by default ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Maxene,

Just like you say, users can go to "Report Selections" and choose which report(s) to run. And they can choose more than one report in which case they will be run sequentially, and here the user could cancel the one(s) they did not want. But I guess that this is not exactly what they are requesting.

If you want to have a small list to choose from when you print the report, then a simple way would be to just show a small strmenu-list (providing you have access to development) like this:

action(SelectPrint)

{

ApplicationArea = all;

Caption = 'Print select';

trigger OnAction()

begin

case StrMenu('Report A,Report B,Report C') of

1: Report.Run(1);

2: Report.Run(2);

3: Report.Run(3);

end;

end;

}

Would that work? Or if it needs to be a bit more flexible, have an underlying table where you can put available reports, then run a page modally to choose from. If you like, I could make a sample of that.

Is that the kind of thing you were looking for?

Hi,

Thanks for the exemple.

I managed to create a new action in the menu bar. But I can't display this list when the user click on print.

Hello,

You have to hide the standard action, and then write your action as shown below.

pageextension 50101 "Sales Order Ext" extends "Sales Order" { layout { // Add changes to page layout here } actions { modify("Print Confirmation") { Visible = false; } addafter("Pick Instruction") { action(MyCustomAction) { ApplicationArea = All; Caption = 'My Print Confirmation'; trigger OnAction() var Selection: Integer; OptionMembersLbl: Label 'Report 204,Report 205,Report 206'; optionInstructionLbl: Label 'Choose one of the following'; begin Selection := Dialog.StrMenu(OptionMembersLbl, 2, optionInstructionLbl); case Selection of 0: exit; // User clicked on Cancel 1: Report.Run(204); 2: Report.Run(205); 3: Report.Run(206); end; end; } } } var myInt: Integer; }

I have checked and it's working.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help.

I have a last question about that.

Is it possible to insert this action in the 'Print/Send' group's and not in the 'Action' group's ?

Yes,

Add the below properties in your action

Promoted = true;

PromotedCategory = Category11;

For your reference see the Sales Order page properties

PromotedActionCategories = 'New,Process,Report,Approve,Release,Posting,Prepare,Order,Request Approval,History,Print/Send,Navigate';

It's work if you would like to print different layout (ex: 204 - 205 - 206)

But If you have different layout 204 (Sales - Quote) ? It's it possible to let the choice to the user ?

Can you tell me the difference between the layout id 204 and id 1304?
