I need to a call a pentaho report header of PRPT from another PRPT(without using subreport).
Exact requirement:
Report header part will change dynamically(Label position , number of labels , Number of text and all the alignments). So will give one prpt to the user to design it depends on their request. Once they done with their design part they will save that prpt. That saved prpt should call in report header of the main report on the go. Kindly guide us how to achieve this.
As far as I know, this is not possible without coding. If you have your own reporting engine embedded in your application you can achieve that, generating your own prpt definition and using it then in some point.
In the other hand, if you don't wanna code, you can change all those things dinamically using the expression properties, and apply the format required based on the request parameters.
Specify the parameters you need in the report to calculate the header.
Select the item you need to be dinamically customizable
In the value attribute choose the plus sign (+) and specifiy the formula you need to get the desired format, eg: in the color value you can specify something like
=IF([PROVIDER]="STACKOVERFLOW";"orange";"")
You must define all the attributes you need like visible, positions, alignments, a long and hard but nice job.

I am still learning, and looking for help on how to display a label based on one data-sources field value, being within another data-sources field value list.
I have one calculated table, displaying rows of documents within a folder, and wish to use a field representing the document number in that data-source, so that if it's ANYWHERE within another tables field it displays my label.
I've been trying to use projection as I think this is how to achieve it.
I can get it working based on both the current #datasouce.item.fieldnames but need it to base the calculation on all possible numbers in that tables field (Image below should make it easier to understand).
I expect that it has something to do with projections, but can't find anything within the learning templates or anywhere else to resolve the issue.
I think the following should work for you. For the 'Reserved' label have the following binding for the text property:
(#datasources.project_quotes.items..quotenumber).indexOf(#widget.datasource.item.Qnumber) !== -1 ? 'Reserved' : ''
I would suggest alternatively just to include a field in your calculated datasource and making the determination in your server script.
Is there a way to extract a table from a web page in Automation Anywhere after taking certain steps using web recorder. The table does not appear directly, it appears after clicking few controls after launching the URL.
The table that I want to extract is coming after loggin in to the website and filtering using a control for search criteria.
I used web recorder to login and putting the desired search criteria in a text field and I want to extract the table now. When I use web recorder, it launches the URL again and takes me back to the login page which I dont want. I want the bot to stay on the page. Pls help.
Also, what is the significance of session name of an extracted table?
If you clicked on Advanced View, you will find at Step 5 : to run this command using an existing IE window. Try to write the URL of the page with the table and not the one of the login page.
The extracted table is to be used using variable $Table Column(Index)$ with index being the column number or column name
you can export directly using object cloning and in the selection criteria export to csv file. But we need to click on html inner text also in search criteria
An old question, but my experience has been the Extract Data/Table commands are rather poor. Not only do they only work in IE, you cannot call them as commands, they have to be called via a web recording.
Instead, I've found it much more useful to object clone the initial element, grab the DOMXPath, and variablize that. Then throw it into a loop while command and set the condition on finding at least one element (of the elements for the table you are trying to build). You can grab all sorts of useful info in the object clone command and then right that to a variable/table.
For example
//div[#id='updatable-standings']/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[3]/td[2]/div[1]/span[2]
//div[#id='updatable-standings']/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[4]/td[2]/div[1]/span[2]
I can create a incremental variable for {tr[3]} and call it $vTeamLoop$ and change my DOMXPath value in the Object Clone to be
//div[#id='updatable-standings']/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[$vTeamLoop$]/td[2]/div[1]/span[2]
Ultimately, it is more steps than the Data/Table Extract command, but it is far less limited in scope.
Hope that helps.

I have a DataTable that I'm passing to a FlexCel report. It contains a variable number of columns, so I'm using the Full Dataset feature (e.g. <#table_name.*>).
However, only a subset of the fields are dynamically generated (I have a variable number of attachments). The column name for each attachment field starts with a common word (e.g. "Attachment0", "Attachment1", etc).
What I would like to do is output the known finite set of fields and then the variable number of attachments. It would be nice if I could write something like <#table_name.Attachment*> (and <#table_name.Attachment**>). Is there any way in FlexCel Reports I can achieve the same result?
A side benefit to such a solution means that I could keep the formatting for the known/finite set of fields.
Update
I added place holder columns to the document, each with a <#delete column> tag, so that the un-wanted columns/data are removed.
Although this works, it's not ideal. For example, if I want to see how the columns fit in the page width (in print preview), then I need to hide the columns. Then I have to remember to un-hide them again, so other developers can see/understand my handy work.
It would be much more straight forward if I could filter the fields before they're output to the document.
I realised there's an alternate way around this problem. I broke up the data into two sets of data - <#table_name.*> and <#table_name_attachments.*>.
The fixed set of fields are in the first table and the variable set of fields is in the second table (all the "Attachment*" fields). When the report is run, I place them next to each other (in the same order) in the same worksheet. This means I have two table ranges - "_table_name_" and "_table_name_attachments_" on the one sheet.
Now I'm able to run my print preview without hiding/re-showing the columns-to-be-deleted. I've also eliminated human error - it was all to easy to accidentally set the wrong number of padded/delete columns.
I'm trying to extend a query in Dynamics AX that populates the "My Projects" window. I've found the query that I need to modify, and tried to modify it, unfortunately, the character limit in the Value field (see screen shot), is not sufficient to allow me to enter all of the text I need to extend this query.
I've explored adding additional ranges, but I need to add additional OR arguments here and it appears that adding additional ranges will AND the range instead of ORing it.
Is there any way to bypass this character limit?
If you add several ranges to the same datasource field, the ranges are combined with OR in the SQL.
This is useful sometimes. See this queustion for a (klunky) example.
I have a little appliation that shows MySQL data in web browser ListGrid. It has 14 columns.
I would like to upgrade it so the user could add query parameters.
For this job the best I could imagine is the grid.setShowFilterEditor() that put text boxes above the column headers and will live together with the column header when moved or resized.
I planned to use the filter button FilterEditorSubmitHandler() to get the filter values and run the query.
Unfortunately, I can not find any solution to get the text from a certain filter box eg. the value that was written by the user into the box above Column_#1. Is there any way to do that or this FilterEditor grown together with the DataSources object, and not available for any other data binding?
Something like this, but without using DataSource:
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#grid_sortfilter_disable_filter
As per my knowledge, filter editor works on com.smartgwt.client.data.DataSource only.
If you want to have filterEditor in ListGrid, you have to use DataSource or go for some custom implementation.
