Allow users to select Fields that the resulting report would be sorted on

Is it possible to make available to the users some specific fields from the database that they would be allowed to select themselves which fields they would like the resulting report sorted upon?

The suggestion that was provided seems to have worked. But right now I have a situation where I would like to give the users the option to select the desired sort order from 6 different fields.
Invoice Date
Due Date
TransDate
PO Num
Invoice No
Status.
Right now I have a Sort Parameter created
Then I also have a Sort Formula generated as follows.
If {?SortField} = "DueDate" Then {APMASTER.DUE_DATE}
Else
     If {?SortField} = "TransDate" Then {APMASTER.TRANS_DT}
     Else
          if{?SortField} = "InvDate" Then {APMASTER.INVDATE}
as soon as I attempt to add another line to this formular that would be for the Invoice No as shown below.
Else
             if{?SortField} = "InvNo" Then {APMASTER.INVNO}
I keep receiving a "A date-Time is required here" I am assuming it must be because CR is not allowing me to create a formula and/or parameter that is using a mixture of Date and Text fields.
If you have any suggestion for a work around, it would be appreciated.

Hiding the Selected field in the Crystal reports 2011

Hi Experts,
I am new to the Crystal reports. How to hide the Selected Field in the Crystal report 2011.
Thanks,
Kavya.C

Hi Kavya,
You can right click on the field, go to Format Field -> Common Tab. Select/Check the option "Suppress". Or if you want to hide/ Suppress the entire section in a Crystal Report, for e.g. Detail section, right click on Details Section and select Section expert. You can select Hide/Supress accordinly.
That should hide the filed/Section when you run the report.

Allow user to select data, see the tables list but not view the table/view/stored procs definition

Hi,
May I know how to achieve the above ? Please enlighten me.
TIA !

So you want users to be able to see the name of the table, but not the definition? I am afraid that this is not possible. You can give users access to a table and hide the definition, but the name is considered part of the definition.
Olaf mentioned VIEW DEFINITION. What he did not say is that when you have SELECT permission (or EXECUTE permission on a stored procedure), the permission VIEW DEFINITION is implied by the stronger permission. For this reason you need to explicitly DENY this
permission as shown in the script below.
In the script I create a user without a login and then impersonate a user. This is an excellent way to test permissions.
[sql]
CREATE TABLE tabbe (a int NOT NULL)
go
CREATE USER usse WITHOUT LOGIN
go
GRANT SELECT ON tabbe TO usse
DENY VIEW DEFINITION ON tabbe TO usse
go
EXECUTE AS USER = 'usse'
go
SELECT * FROM tabbe
go
SELECT name FROM sys.objects WHERE type = 'U'
EXEC sp_help tabbe
go
REVERT
go
DROP USER usse
DROP TABLE tabbe
{/sql]
Note: rather than denying VIEW DEFINITION on an individual object you can leave out "ON tabbe" to deny the permission across the database.

Allow user to select rows

Is there any way we can allow Users to select rows in a report so that they can print the details present for that report from an underlying details sub-report?
Dhananjay Rele

It is possible but might prove unscalable. SSRS reports provide 3 mechanisms for handling click events.
Hyperlinks. You can format text placeholders to interpret basic HTML, including hyperlinks.
Action. Most SSRS controls have an Action property that has 4 possible methods to handle the click event: None (ignore, default behavior), Go to report, Go to bookmark, Go to URL.
Visibility (Display can be toggled by this report item). You can specify another report control that, when clicked, toggles the visibility of this report control.
The first 2 might be used to reload the current report with updated parameter settings. For instance, I create a parameter called @PrintThis. When I click a row in a tablix, I am clicking on a textbox in one of the colloumns of that row. I can set the action
property of that text box to open the current report, passing all the same parameter values in except that I set @PrintThis to @PrintThis+";"+Fields!MyCell.Value. This parameter is used to display the details of the row I clicked plus any previously clicked
rows. With this approach, you would need a text box with the action property set to pass "" to @PrintThis so the user can clear that property to start over. Or set up a table that displays each value of the @PrintThis parameter with the action property set
to remove that value from @PrintThis (@PrintThis = Replace(@PrintThis, Fields!ClickedCell.Value+";","")).
The 3rd option could be used if the report already has a separate details subreport embedded for each row in the main report's tablix with it's Visibility set to Hide and with "Display can be toggled by this report item" set to the appropriate row's clickable
cell. It will likely take longer to run the report initially but the toggling of the subreports is near instantaneous. Using Action or hyperlink will be quicker initially but each click will have a similar delay to the initial report rendering.
So this will include certain details as determined by the "clicks" a user selects

How to use a subreport field as selection criteria for the main report

Dear All,
   I created a report with one subreport and im comparing information from both reports but i need to apply selection criteria in the main report using one of the fields in the subreport, the problem is that the subreport field doesnt appear in the select expert screen. By any chance, someone knows how make a subreport field be used by the select expert.
Thanks,
Martha Medrano

Dear Dom,
   I created the subreport table called IIM (748 items) in sql in the main report as you suggested with the below code:
SELECT "IIM"."IPROD", "IIM"."IDESC", "IIM"."IID"
FROM   "S102F360"."BPCS405CDF"."IIM" "IIM"
WHERE   NOT ("IIM"."IDESC" LIKE 'GEN%' OR "IIM"."IDESC" LIKE 'OBS%') AND "IIM"."IID"<>'IZ' AND "IIM"."IPROD" LIKE '3%'
and i have another table called ITEM_MASTER (3221 items):
SELECT "ITEM_MASTER"."ITEM_ID", "ITEM_MASTER"."DESCRIPTION"
FROM   "WHSPRO"."dbo"."ITEM_MASTER" "ITEM_MASTER"
ORDER BY "ITEM_MASTER"."ITEM_ID"
and im trying to display all items in the ITEM_MASTER table that are not in the IIM file but i haven't been able to accomplish this, i am using as primary the ITEM_MASTER table with 'Inner Join' as Join Type, and '!=" as Link Type. Do you have any ideas on how can i display the requested items.
Thanks for your help

You can set a default value in your first dashboard prompt like 'please select a country' then if the user doesn't select something no result will be returned until he selects a valid value
Then make the other dashboard prompts constrained.

Adding one more selection field in the standard data source

Hi SAP Gurus,
I'd like to know how to add one field as a selection field for the data source.I used 0FI_GL_4 Datasource .It has 2 selection.Now I want to add one more field as a selection field .How to mark that field as selection?I tried by using RSA6 ,But I'm unable to change the previous selection.
Please let me know how to fix it?
I'll assign the points ...
Thanks & regards
Raja

Pradip,
when ever you create any Generic DS, you can find generic DS(I checked this), comming append fields(it's happend to me)... there is no meaning.. as we know... we will extract the data for append fields using existing DS.
Comming Raju:
to my knowledge, you should not add that field as selection enabled(wait for others posts). I had seen many posts for working on this... by updating the Table ROOSFIELD table for the respective DS. I never implemented this... if you update this using any custom program be careful. Ihave ccreated the program for append fields not for Standard Extractor.
Try to search any SAP Notes: 571985
All the best.

Adds selection field at the first screen of FBL3N (G/L line item display)

I would like to adds line item selection field at the default first screen of FBL3N.
The field I'd like to add at the default selection screen is :Amount.
This field can be selected at dynamic selection. But I'd like to use the field at the first screen of FBL3N, not in daynamic selection screen.
If anyone knows how to add the fields into FBL3N first screen, please advice me how to do it.
Edited by: Itchy31 on Jul 23, 2009 8:30 AM

Hi,
You can not add the new fields in the selection criteria thats the reason dynamic options are given for the further selection.
If you still want to add in the selection screen then go for a customisation and coordinate with the ABAPer which is not suggestable as it is readily avilable in dynamic selection.

Is it possible to display only dynamically selected fields in the out put?

Is it possible to display only dynamically selected fields in the out put? i need to display set of columns in the selection criteria, but in the output i have display only input given fields. because i need to convert it into .csv file. So i have to display selected fields from internal table. In oracle they are using"execute immediate". is there any equivalent in SAP?
thanks in advance.

Hi Remya,
Are you talking about dynamic programming in ABAP ?
If yes, there are concepts like RTTS which facilitates it.
Yes, the select query also supports dynamic selection of fields. ( Please care about ( ) in dynamic sql ).
Do more research on Field Symbols and statements like ASSIGN COMPONENT OF.

Philip.

How to add a Field to the Result List in Activity

Hello Experts !
We are on CRM 7.0. I want to add a field to the Result List of Activity (Component: BT126S_APPT / View: ApptSR). This field is the address of the "Employee Responsible".
So, how can I add a field to the Result List? AET is not a relevant tool for us because we don't want to create an attribute it already exist in the BOL. We just have to enhance the result list with BOL existing attributes.
Also, after I add the field, I will need to populate my field with Data via some method.
Thanks in Advance to all !
