Advanced reporting features in a task list

Hi
I hope someone can help with a rather specific question in SharePoint 2010.
I'm using task lists a lot, but I find that the reporting data from the list is severely lacking.
I'd like to have a calculated column that displays when the task was completed compared to the due date ("due date"-"Completed date"). I can't seem to get the calculated columns to behave when I want results from two date columns.
A more complicated question to the same list. The list uses versioning, so It'll be great to be able to see, how far we've moved the due date during the life of the task. Is it possible to extract due date from version 1 in any way? And then create a column
with the difference between original due date and current due date?
Thank you in advance for your help!

1. You'll want to use DATEDIF. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb862071(v=office.14).aspx
2. You can't extract the version history date, but you can run a workflow that establishes a baseline date and sets it to the original date. Hide that field from the user and you can use that in another calc field to estimate the difference.

Viewing HFR reports in the same window via task list url link

Does anyone know how to render an HFR report inside the Planning application or even in Workspace when referencing the report's url through task list? This is with version 11.1.1.3. It doesn't seem like this version allows the task list to be built to pull up the report within the Planning application window, or even as a separate Workspace tab. I also want to be able to switch from pdf or html preview when viewing the report, but this option isn't allowed when opening the report via task list. A separate pop up appears for the report, which isn't what I want.
Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

This sounds like part of your issue :-
9549216 - Instead of a new tab, a new window displays after you create a Financial Reporting task in Workspace.
Fixed in patch 11.1.1.3.02

URL Task List in System 9 Planning

We have recently upgrade planning from 4.0 to System 9.3; however, there was a feature in Planning task list where you can build a URL to retrieve report from Hyperion Report with parameter passiing from Planning to Report for a POV driven report. Does anyone know how I would convert the below link in system 9.
http://xxxx:8200/hr/common/HRLogon.jsp?elementName_UTF8=%5cTMWSP+Planning%Workbook&sameWindow=false&elementType=2&attribute=Locations.id.Region%20GOODSITE&gridHeadings=0&viewAs=pdf

Hi,
You can go to workspace and browse to the report through the explore page. Right click on the report and select properties. You should see the link called as smartcut over there. You can copy this link and use it in your task lists.

Moving tasks between summary tasks in a standard task list?

I cannot see that there is a solution for moving a task from one summary task to another? Looks to me like this can't be done even in the Content & Structure interface. The summary tasks show up as folders, but there is no way to access the tasks within
and moving them to another "folder".
Am I missing something critical here?
Henning

Hi there - I had a similar problem:
I created a Project Task list and had several summary task levels. To move Tasks around in the "summary Task three" a proposed solution was to use the
Site Content and Structure view: URL/_Layouts/sitemanager.aspx
There you can move/copy tasks.
However for me it didnt work: there was no way to display sublevel summary tasks, since the Task List could not be expanded. Whenever I clicked the (+) Symbol...the three would not expand.
The solution was to go to advanced settings of your (Project)Task list and activate the option to activate the new folder button. With that bug (this cannot be a feature) fixed the Site Content and Structure Manager worked....

Missing task lists after task list folder was deleted

In Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.0 user that doesn't have access to task lists can delete task list folders with task lists (they are not visible and no error occurs). After that task lists are visible in Basic Mode but I cannot find then in Advanced Mode through Administer->Manage->Task Lists. How can I get back these task lists to Advanced Mode or delete them?

User can delete tasklist? I've not seen that happening.
You can try recycling Planning services and see if they come back or go away.
It is stored in a table called hsp_task
select b.object_name, c.object_name, a.* from hsp_task a, hsp_object b, hsp_object c
where a.task_list_id=b.object_id and a.task_id=c.object_id;

Task List URL (to FR Report) opens in new window, but not for all users!

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask the question (for me it looks like an IE topic), but perhaps anybody can help me anyway...
In one of our Planning apps (9.3.1) we defined several task lists and tasks that link to relevant FR Reports (URL Tasks). If I open the URL task in basic view the relevant FR Report opens in the same IE Window (in the main frame of the planning app). If my colleague opens the same task the FR Reports opens in a new IE Window.
My problem is that I dont have any ideas where I can set the relevant property. Is that a planning property, a workspace property or an IE property setting??? Where can I adjust the settings that for ALL users the URL opens the Report in the same window??????
Thanks in advance!!!!
Kind Regards
André
P.S.: We are on IE8.

Have you both got the same settings in Tools > Internet Options > Tabs Settings
There was also a bug though I can't say if it is related to your issue

SmartView Task List not opening FR report

I am trying to open FR report from a Task List task in SmartView (using Planning provider). If I am already logged into my Planning application in browser, the report opens. But if I am not logged (e.g., browser is closed), an empty page opens in browser, and at the bottom is status "Done" but with the error icon.
Is there a way (URL format) that would enable user to open report from SmartView Task List without having to log to Web client first?
Environment: EPM 11.1.2.3.500, FRS 11.1.2.3.503.0917, browser: IE 8, Excel: Office Professional Plus 2010
Thanks,
M. Sladic

Celvin, Ramkumar, thanks for your suggestions. My colleague, Soumyajit, discovered that the original method (URL) needed to be replaced.
Here is the original URL we used (this one was opening report twice on first open, and didn't open report from SmartView unless user was already logged to Workspace):
** https://i<server>/workspace/WorkspaceLaunch.jsp?uri=module%3Dwksp.relatedcontent%26repository_path%3D%2FReports%2FStatement%2520of%2520Financial%2520Statement%2520-%2520Expandable
Instead the right call is:
https://<server>/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=%2FReports%2FFinancial%20Statement%20-%20Expandable
Using this other URL, the report:
- when open from the Tasks List, opens only once even the first time;
- opens in Workspace without additional login when opened from the Task List in SmartView
Note: We are using variant of OAM, maybe that has some impact to it. Not my area of expertise, though...

Which URL to use to open a financial report from a Task list ?

Hi,
I've got a big issue in Hyperion Planning : I do not know which URL to use to open a financial report from a task list.
If I use the Smartcut (given when you do a right-click on the report, then Properties), a tab is opening (normal behaviour), but another tab is opening under the tab, which is very ugly, and moreover which prevent from using the PDF/HTML display icons !
Is someone know which URL to use to display correctly a financial report when opening it from a task list ?
It's an emergency, please help !
Thanks very much.
Virgile.
PS. : we use Internet Explorer 8 and we use 11.1.2.1 Hyperion Planning version

Hi,
OK, thanks, it almost works !!
I've just a problem. 2 tabs are opening.
One is opening correctly and displays my report. I can display it in PDF/HTML.
But another tab is opening with this message : This window can now be closed since the application has been launched in a separate window. Note: Popup blockers may prevent this application from working properly.
Do you know why this tab is opening ?
Thanks very much for your help.

User POV does not pop up from Report in task list

Hello,
I've created a report within Related Content in HFM and added it to a task list--the problem I'm experiencing is when I run the report the User POV does not pop up, rather it simply uses the default POV (ie, whatever is set up in data grids or process management)--this happens if I try to run it directly from Related Content or from the task list. My preferences within Financial Reporting have already been updated to 'On' to preview the User POV and if I run the report from Financial Reporting (ie, Explore) the User POV works fine--so, it seems like adding a report to Related Content disables the User POV from popping up. I'm running on Financial Reporting v11.1.2.1 and HFM v11.1.2.1.104.3701. I can't find anything about it within this forum, knowledge base or as a known issue in the ReadMe for the .104 patch set for HFM.
Can anybody fill me in on if this is functionality by design or a defect?
Best regards,
Jason Call

Financial Reports do not work as you might expect when they are used as a related content item. As you already have realized, you will not be able to adjust the FR POV items from inside of HFM.
A 'work around' would be to link to the report and put that link in the Tasklist. This will then open the report 'normally' and you will get the POV functionality that you expect.
To find the link to a report, open the report's properties and look at the 'smartcut' value. (That is a URL directly to the report)

Task list Report Generation

Hi ,
Please let me know if the following are feasible while generating the tasklist report.
1. Can we Generate the tasklist report from the system by scenario . Is there any workaround to get this reoport from backend tables ?
2. Task list report shows stats for every user who belong to the selected group. Can we limit this view so the report summarizes by the group instead of individual user.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijaya Koppolu

Hi,
I think you posted in wrong place. Please post in Planning and Budgeting forum to get a better answer.
To answer your question, I was trying to genarate Workflow reports from Backend. But I could not get the usernames from Backend tables as it is not saved for MSAD users. For MSAD users planning schema saves a URL instead of username.

Issue in task list report

hi all,
my user want a report of task list requirement is listed below
user fills task list in order generated automatically. they want to get the report of task list filled against order no and equipment. is it possible through standard reports or i have to do developments for the same.

Dear Ansh
Your requiremnt is not a straight fit solution coming from SAP provided standard reports like IW38, IW39, IW40,IW37N or IW49 as stated in above replies.
I remember a blog posted some time ago for a similar requirement. Here is the link, go through the link and u will find the exact solution.
Long Texts in Plant Maintenance - extraction
Some posts in similar requiremnts you can refer:

How can i get order long text?
Hope this will be helpful..

Advanced monitoring and report feature on ACS5.1

Hi !
I would like to know where I can find documentation about the "Advanced Monitoring and Report" feature on ACS server version 5.1.0.44-3. I would like find information about the installation, benefit of this feature, and how to use advanced monitoring and report feature.

In ACS 5.0 there was a separate licensed feature that enabled additional monitoring and troubleshooting features such as alarms, thresholds and additonal reports. In ACS 5.1 this functionality is included by default as part of the base product

Issue in the Reporting feature of SAP BPC NW 7.0

Hi everyone,
I am facing an issue with respect to the Reporting feature in SAP BPC NW 7.0 version. I am supposed to generate a P&L report using the EVDRE function.
Issue-
In the report that I have generated, the system is retrieving only a subset of the broad-level P&L heads. e.g. while BPC is retrieving the EBITDA, EBIT and PAT figures, it is not retrieving the Depreciation, Interest and Tax figures in the report. All the members that are not getting displayed are members with ACCTYPE= 'EXP', while the ones getting displayed are members with ACCTYPE= 'INC'.
Even though the 'EXP' figures are not getting displayed, the amounts are getting deducted correctly. (i.e. even though Interest amount is not getting displayed in the report, the PBT figure being displayed is correctly calculated as PBT= EBIT-Interest).
Also, I am able to see the amount in Interest payments, if I drill to the base-member elements (G/Ls in my case)
Would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on what might be the probable issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sameer Rane

Hi Nilanjan/All,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I suppose, I was not very clear about my problem. The issue is with regards to the value for the Account-dimension members with ACCTYPE = 'EXP' and not with the members per se.
Setting the MemberSet Filter addresses the issue of getting particular Dimension members in the report. In my case, I am already seeing all the necessary members in my report (I have explicitly created a list of all the members I want to see in my report in the MemberSet parameter). However, I am not able to see any values for these members for any of the time periods (even though the values exist).
Also, I don't get any values for some of the INC items as well (e.g. OperationsIncome) inspite of the fact that the base member G/Ls under this account hold values.
Would appreciate any help towards resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sameer

[QM] How to create an inspection lot with task list assigned?

Hello, everyone.
I know, the similar questions have been asked plenty of times, but I am still unable to find a suitable receipe of the inspection lot creation. My goal is to create an inspection lot programmatically and be able to record its results using, e.g., BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS.
Creating a lot does not appear to be a big problem. I just call the following FMs:
QPL1_INITIALIZE
QPL1_INSPECTION_LOT_CREATE
QPL1_UPDATE_MEMORY
QPL1_INSPECTION_LOTS_POSTING
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
As a result, I have a new shiny inspectin lot, but it comes with statuses "CRTD" and "CHCR". I do specify PLNAL and PLNNR fields values for the QALS structure which is passed to QPL1_INSPECTION_LOT_CREATE, but that does not seem to have any effect. When I call BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS later (result values and inspection points come from another lot which is used as a template), it reports of beging unable to find characteristics for the inspection operations (error E026).
Does anyone know which of the QPL1_INSPECTION_LOT_CREATE parameters affect task list assignment besides PLNAL and PLNR? Or maybe there is a special FM which associates a task list with an inspection lot?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Samuel,
You can get create an Agent as a Task by using the following steps:
1. Go to Customizing --> EHS --> Industrial Hygiene & safety --> Risk Assessment --> Specify Agent Types
2. Click on "TASK' Agent type and click on Details icon (CtrlShiftF2)
3. In the "Only EHS-IHS" drop down, Select "No"
4. Save the entry
5. Now try creating an Agent [CBIH92] and you can create an Agent as a Task.
Hope it Helps,
Raghu
