PlantStar Panorama Help

setting report criteria

·Click on the arrow to the left of the Report field. Select a report by moving the cursor down the list to the desired item and click. The report's description and filename appears.  
·Click on the Criteria button. This button brings up a second window which displays a list of PlantStar Panorama tables from which criterion fields can be selected.  
·Clicking on a table name displays its list of possible criteria. Select as many fields as desired by clicking on the field name. Note that for each field selected, a window appears during the report printing process. These windows provide field selection lists. For example, the job field is designated as a criteria for a report. When printing the report, a user will be asked to select which specific production jobs to print. If start date is also designated as a report criteria, a second window appears during the printing process asking for a valid start date.  
·Click on the OK button when finished selecting report criteria.  
·Upon returning to the main window, click on the Save button. An informational message appears stating that reports definition file cannot be found. Click the OK button.  

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.

NOTE: When selecting a report's criteria, i.e. what type of information will be included in the report, the fields selected as criteria must be actually used on the report. For example, if a report is designed to print job history information, it is invalid to select field information from the shift history tables.
