Inserting a custom field in Word Report Layout

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Inkey Solutions 2,100

Hi all,

I have created a text custom field named as Notes using a third party application. I want to insert the Notes field in my Word Report Layout. I exported the report layout from the custom report layouts and with the help of XML mapping was trying to insert the new field but there was no Notes field available in XML mapping.

Can anyone help me how can I insert it?

Thank you in advance.

    A new report will be needed to do this. To do this you will need to either ask your Microsoft partner or get a copy of the base application and copy the existing report and create a new one. Add your new field and publish it as an extension.

    Some links to help with this if you intend to do it yourself: simplanova.com/.../

    This is not possible. It only allows plain text.

    You might think of converting your Note field (BLOB, probably) streaming out its value into a text field and then add that field into the word layout. Be careful avoiding overflows between BLOB and Text.
