Design Manager
The Custom Reports Manager program transfers custom reports designed in Crystal Reports into PlantStar Panorama. It provides editing capabilities for these reports, deletion capabilities, and provides for the selection of report search criteria.Transferring Reports Into PlantStar Panorama - The first step in using custom reports within PlantStar Panorama is to design a report within the Crystal Reports program. Once a report has been designed, it can be transferred into PlantStar Panorama. The PlantStar Panorama database tables and fields must be used to create this custom report.
Editing Report Definitions - Custom reports can be edited from the Custom Reports Manager window. A report's name, description, definitions, and criteria are changeable.
Selecting Report Criteria - Report criteria can be set up from this window. Report criteria designate what type of information is included in a report. For example, a job history report can include all jobs for a certain product or it can be a report on a specific job. Several fields can be selected as criteria for a report or just one field.
Criteria can also be set up for a report from within the Crystal Reports program. If fields are also designated as criteria from the Custom Reports Manager program, then the affected report is based upon BOTH sets of criteria.
