Crystal Reports form enhancements (frmCrystalReports)

Question

Background
Upgraded from 8.8 to 8.81 with Crystal Reports add-on.
Not happy with ease of use of the CR add-on and loss of description field.  {CR=Crystal Reports}
Summary
Wanting enhancements to the frmCrystalReports form.
Wanting assurance that frmCrystalReports form will be supported in future B1 versions.
Wanting improvements to both the "old" and "new" B1 CR integration methods.
Details
frmCrystalReports form
New columns for sap_cr_report_report table:
version  - numeric - to help keep track of CR version.  ie dev test and live systems might have differing versions due to ongoing development
report id - string - a short identifier of the CR.  ie with many reports a unique identifier is a necessity
sort id - numeric or string - a sorting identifier so a list of CR can be ordered
ReportDesc - increase column width.  eg 2000 characters
Notes - string - allow CR Developer to add their own notes/comments for future reference.  The user and CR developer can have differing views on the report.
Enhancements:
Add scroll bars to the form.   There is none.  Only way to navigate a CR list is with the up/down arrow keys.
Enable form resize.   There is none.  Most B1 forms you can maximise/expand.
This is standard "windows" functionality, why was not this provided when created all those years ago?
Add new columns from above.
Make ReportName display its full width.  Only 50 of the 100 characters can be maintained in the form!
Add CR sorting ability.   eg default=alphabetically on ReportName,  user selection=reportId and/or sortId
Crystal Reports add-on
Is a pain to use.  You could automate somewhat via mapping a CR directory structure to that of the modules.
For example, put a CR in the Financials folder and B1 automatically picks up the name and makes that report available to the Finance module.
Needs ability to show user description, version, report id, as per frmCrystalReports enhancements.  Just showing the CR name is not enough information.
ps there is a bug with this form.  Background and Summary text above are set as bold but as you can see the trailing text is bold also.

Answer 1

This is what I did to fix the non-sorting in the form by changing the table pk.
-- backup original table
exec sp_tables @table_name = "sap%";
go
select * into sap_cr_report_report_bup_20111101 from sap_cr_report_report;
go
exec sp_tables @table_name = "sap%";
go
-- change new pk columns to not nullable
alter table sap_cr_report_report alter column ModuleUID char(20) not null;
alter table sap_cr_report_report alter column ReportName nvarchar(50) not null;
go
-- create new pk
alter table sap_cr_report_report add constraint scrr_pk primary key (ModuleUID, ReportName);
-- alter table sap_cr_report_report drop constraint scrr_pk;
go
exec sp_pkeys sap_cr_report_report
go
:out stdout
