Organising Reports

Once you have designed a report you can make it available to other modules. Users will then be able to print the report from the 'Reports' list as if it were a standard Hansa report. As well as making it easy to print the report, this protects the report definition from accidental changes.

To do this, enter a single record in the Reports In Interface setting in the Report Generator for each report definition:

Report
Paste Special    Report register, Report Generator
Enter the Report Code here.

Comment
Record any comment here.
Use the grid area to the list the modules from which the report can be printed. Use 'Paste Special' to choose from a list of modules. The Title is the name that will be given to the report in the 'Reports' list.

In the example illustrated above, it will be possible to print the report from the Quotations and Sales Orders module and from the Sales Ledger. The report will appear at the end of the 'Reports' list, after the standard Hansa reports. This is the list from the Quotations module:

If you add several reports to a single module, they will be listed in Report Code order.

If you add or change a record in the Reports In Interface setting, you will need to quit Hansa and restart for the change to take effect. In a multi-user system, you will not need to restart the server but you will need to restart the clients (or log in again using the [Login] button in the Master Control panel).
