Can I have a subreport within a subreport?

hi -- I've found lots of information -- that's several years old -- indicating that Crystal does not support subreports within subreports. Is this still the case? (I'm running CR11.) From my experiments it looks like this is still true... but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
If not possible, does anyone have any slick solutions?  I have some ideas, but they'll require a fair amount of redesign.
Thanks,
Carol

hi Carl -- Well, when each of these reports were built, we were pulling data from 3 different Oracle tables:
One table holds the title of the report; it returns a single row based on a report_id defined in the report. This subreport is in
the report header.
One view holds the main data to be displayed (monthly measurements taken at reservoirs); this data comprises the main report -- it's not a subreport.
One view holds annotations for the data -- there could be multiple rows of annotations for a single report id. This subreport is in the report footer. 
We actually no longer need to query a DB table for annotations; they're all manually entered into a text area in the subreport. And I can see how I can just include the report title table in the tables accessed by the main report -- it should be easy to get the join correct to display the title and the reservoir data details.
The subreport within subreport issues comes up because we now need to combine all of about 60 reports (like those I describe above) into a single report -- for the purpose of simplifying the generation of a large, published report. Unfortunately we didn't know about this requirement from the start...
So, I think I have a solution -- it just requires the redesign of about 60 reports. Yuck! I'm also not sure what sort of formatting (spacing/pagination) issues I might run into using text areas vs. subreports. I have a feeling it might be trickier to get it looking good, but hopefully I'm wrong.
If you have other / better ideas, please let me know.  And I would like to get your take on how I could handle combining all 60 of these reports if I did still have to query an annotation table that might return multiple rows for the report -- I might have a similar situation in the future.
Thanks so much,
Carol

  • Can you have multiple Rates within one Work Center with multiple operations

    We have a work center called Pipeshop.   Within the Pipeshop we have multiple operations such as Welding, Threading, Cutting, Grooving etc.  Each of these operations have a different cost assoicated with them.  How can you have different cost for these operations? 
    Thank you,
    Loretta

    Hi,
    For this case you need to do following activities.
    1 Create individual activity accoding to requirement, that will be used for costing.
    2  Activity planning w r t work center.  In this cost per unit is declaring.
    3. Create Routing and modify the default activity type, w r t required activity type, suitable to operations.
    Now  Order is referring the activity type, refered in Routing rather than, work center.

    You can try using SSRS cascading parameter.

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any idea

    How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any ideas?

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.
    Ciao.

  • How can I have Main report with a sub-report with in a sub-report??

    I have a main report that has about 5 subreports, almost like a dashboard.  I need to make one of those subreports contain another subreport.
    I don't have the option to add a sub-report with in my sub-report, so what I thought would work is remove my sub-report from my main report, then add my new sub-report, then add that report back to my main report.
    Everytime I add the sub-report that has a sub-report to my main report I lose the second sub.
    From what I've read on the internet is you can't have a sub-report contain another sub-report.  What some say is you can hyperlink that second sub report.
    When I setup my hyper link to open the second sub-report I'm prompted to re-enter my report parameters.
    Can some help me link a sub-report to a sub-report or show me how to pass a date range parameter in my hyper link so the reports just opens up?
    I'm using CR IX R2
    Thanks

    Nate,
    You are dealing with a product limitation.  Crystal cannot have nested subreports within a sub report. 
    You can generally use shared variables between sub reports to achieve your desired result

  • Can we have two login screens for a particular application?

    I have an application which is sso enabled.
    Can i have another login screen, which doesnt authenticate SSO?

    I a nutshell, Yes you can have multiple login pages for one application. All you will need to do is specify which one you want to go to when you create the link to the application.
    E.g If you have an application number of 54321 and within this application you have 2 login pages number 101 and 111. You will need to use the following urls to access each one:
    http://server_name:port/pls/htmldb/f?p=54321:101
    http://server_name:port/pls/htmldb/f?p=54321:111
    I do not know about how SSO works with ApEx as I have never used it. But you can definitly have 2 separate login pages.
    Hope this helps,

    Can I have two Itunes accounts on one pc? One is on our PC now, and I have another on a portable back up. I hope I can.......thanks.

    Yes, you can have multiple Apple IDs within one iTunes copy.
    Note that all purchases will forever be tied to the Apple ID that was used to buy them. You will have to authorize the computer to the new library, as each device can be synced with just a single computer.

  • How can I make multiple quizzes within one Captivate project?

    Hi guys! Really liking Captivate 5.5, especially the way random question slides can lift questions out of a question pool...very elegant!
    Sadly though, I've come up against a bit of a wall. In my project, I want to have 3 separate quizzes that all use the same question pool; a 10, 30 and 50 question-long quiz. Each one needs to have its own results page.
    It's easy enough to see what I mean by looking at the screenshot below:
    The idea was to have about 105 slides in total, with slides 10 - 20 being the 10 quiz slide, 21 - 51 being the 30 question quiz and 52 - 102 being the 50 question quiz.
    There are three invisible buttons placed over those 10, 30, 50 text boxes. In the picture, the '10 question' button would jump to slide 10, the '30 question' button would jump to slide 21, and the '50 question' button would jump to slide 52, jumping the user to the start of their designated tests.
    Though I can create the 10 random question "block" easy enough, when it comes to adding the 30 question "block" it just adds the new random questions to the existing random questions. I want three separate quizzes, each with their own results screens please. (I don't want to daisy-chain to external projects, because the results of each test need to be used within the homepage.)
    It just adds them on to the existing block!! Argh!!
    Little bit ticked off with Adobe...the reason their products are so incredible is because they put no constraints on the user, and you can use their tools to create things even the developers never dreamed of. Like in Photoshop for example, I bet when the dropshadow fx was created, the developers never realised that it would be used to give a metallic 'stamped' look to text by turning it to white and applying it just inside the text.
    Captivate, though amazing most of the time, has a nasty habit of stomping on my toes. You can't set grade boundaries and have quizzes give out grades A+ to F- for example. You can only have 'pass' and 'fail', thus making it rather pointless for use in schools, contrary to how the program is advertised. Another example would be when I wanted to create a replay button. I thought that a button that jumped to the slide it was on would be a simple, no-BS replay button, but for some reason you can't make a button jump to its current slide. I downloaded a widget that worked in the end, but I wish Adobe would get off my back and let me do what I want!
    Anyway, if you could help me out here it would be grand

    I must say I have a little sympathy for the Captivate developers on this occasion.  As you say, they've created an application that does so much, that when you eventually run into a hard boundary of some kind, the effect is somewhat jarring.  However, every application, no matter how good, has limits.  I'm probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to asking the Adobe Captivate Development Team for enhancements (I think I've logged over 70 enhancement requests for Captivate 6 alone).
    In your case, you want to have three different quizzes in one project file, each with it's own separate Quiz Results page.  Lilybiri's blog explains how to set up your own faux Quiz Results pages using system variables and custom user variables, but you're going to find this to be quite a lot of trouble.  Even if YOU want to consider these as three separate quizzes, as far as Captivate is concerned they're just one big quiz with 50 questions.  So Captivate will calculate it's internal results based on a 50 question quiz, even if your users select the 10 question version.  So achieving a final Pass/Fail result is going to be problematic at best.
    As Lilybiri suggested, your better strategy would be to break this up into separate modules so that you can get your three separate quiz results (all done in standard Captivate) as well as correct results based on the actual number of questions done by the user.
    As far as grades A-F is concerned, there's nothing to stop you from using Advanced Actions and User Variables to calculate the user's score as a grade.  You need a user variable that stores the user's grade (e.g. var_Grade). And you need a fairly complex Conditional Advanced Action (e.g. caa_CalculateGrade) with several clauses each of which goes something like:
    If
    cpQuizInfoPointsscored is lesser or equal to [highest score for a particular grade]
    AND
    greater or equal to [lowest score for a particular grade]
    Actions
    Assign var_Grade with [the appropriate grade for that range of scores]
    Your conditional action will need one of these clauses for each separate grade.  Once your variable has been assigned a grade based on the user's score, you can display it in a text caption somewhere on the quiz results page or on a slide thereafter with suitable commendations/ commiserations.

  • Can i hav 2 ipods on 1 computer?

    i hav an ipod (1st gen) and used it on our computer and evrythings kwl, bt my mum got an ipod 4 her bday can(2nd gen) can she hav hers on the same computer? she pluggd hers in nd uploaded itunes 7 and all of my music is now on her ipod is ther anyway she can hav like a seperate bit? cheers

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Your Mum's iPod was at the default setting of automatic update which is why she got all your songs when she connected to your iTunes. If you set up a separate Windows account then she can have her own iTunes library and auto-update from it if that's the option she chooses.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
