HowTo develop a new report

HowTo develop a new report

Timo I don't know if half these files are generated or manually created. So I thought I describe what I found and let you document it, please? This is also my first post to a wiki, so I need to leran/work/improve on presentation as well. Will do that after lunch.

• Example:
  • Partner by City
  • create new xml report file in U:/XmlReports/Partner/partnerbycity.xml
  • is there a template or generator for the new xml file?
  • create new xml U:/XmlReports/Settings/Partner/Partner by City/standard.xml

• • create new entries in existing yaml file in U:/csharp/ICT/Petra/Client/lib/MPartner/gui/PartnerMain.yaml
  • in section:

          mniReports: 
              Label: &Reports...
              mniReportPartnerByCity: {Label=&Partner By City Report (experiment), ActionOpenScreen=Ict.Petra.Client.MReporting.Gui.MPartner.TFrmPartnerByCity)
