Default to NO Group Tree

I am using VS2008 with the full CR2008 package. When the viewer displays a report, the group tree is displayed by default. I can toggle it on/off with the button. I don't mind having the button available, but I would like the reports to NOT show the group tree when the report first displays. It appears that the "Create Group Tree" option has been removed from the full version. When I add a call to the ShowGroupTree() method, the reports still dsiplay properly, but I get run-time errors.
Is there a way to have the group tree OFF by default?
Thank you,
Jack

Hi, Jack;
The group tree is now a panel. See the following note:
[Panel Note 1183704|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133383333333733303334%7D.do]

Hide Group tree

When I run the report I could see the Group tree window as well as parameter window. By default it is selecting the Group tree window. Is there any option in crystal reports 2008 to make the parameter window as default instead of Group tree window ? Also, Is there any option to just hide the Group tree window ? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sukumar Reddy

If you want the "Parameters" section to show up by default in the preview panel then you will have to make at least one parameter visible and editable in the "Viewer". The setting is the first setting on each parameter "Show on (Viewer) Panel" which is by default Do not Show when creating new parameters. The Group tree section will still be available though.
In Crystal 2008 you can hide the preview panel by unchecking the "Show Preview Panel" under File - Report Options. I don't know how to turn off individual sections in the preview panel.

Eliminating Group Tree Level in VS2010

I need to have a variable number of levels in the group tree in VS2010, a technique I have used in CR for VS2005. I also saw this resolved for someone using VS2008 on thread 1493907 using the same method that I used in 2005. If, at the most detailed level, I group on a formula that I set to return a zero length string, that level still shows up in the tree and causes an error if the user tries to drill down that far.
The 3 grouping furmulas:
Group 1 formula
select {?level}
case 1 : {XXX.AGENCY_CD}
case 2 : {XXX.REGION_CD}
case 3 : {XXX.ORG_CD}
default: ""
Group 2 formula
select {?level}
case 1 : {XXX.REGION_CD}
case 2 : {XXX.ORG_CD}
default: ""
Group 3 formula
select {?level}
case 1 : {XXX.ORG_CD}
default: ""
Summary
If reporting from Level 1, then all levels of the tree are necessary. If reporting at level 4, I hide the group tree, since it is not necessary. If I want to report from level 3 (or 2), 2 (or 1) levels of grouping should be eliminated, but they are not.

Don
I set the grouping level to 3 (out of 1,2,3,4). If the level is 4, the tree makes no sense, so I hide it.
If I run the program from the IDE:
When I try to drill down in the GroupTree to the level that should not exist, Visual Studio breaks n allInOne.js with the error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'txtTooltipLyr' is null or not an object".
If I view it in the Main Report Preview in the IDE:
The 2 levels of nodes that should be eliminated are visible, but they do not do anything. The have no text and expanding the lowest level of the tree does nothing.
If I deploy the web page and run it without using the IDE:
The 2 levels of nodes that should be eliminated are visible, but they do not do anything. The have no text and expanding the lowest level of the tree does nothing, except that on the browser status bar there is an 'Error on page.' message.
I have never exported to RPT format. I just tried it and I had to open it with visual studio. It acts just like Main Report Preview described above.
DebugDiag does not show anything, I am guessing because the IDE is catching the error and nothing is really crashing.

CRVS2010 - Hide Group Tree and Parameter Panel

When I load a report into the CrystalReportsViewer:
crViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = document;
the viewer show by default the Group Tree and the Parameter Panel.
I don't want this, I want by default these panels not shown.
Is it possible?
I tried with:
crViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleGroupTree = false;
crViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleParameterPanel = false;
crViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleSidePanel = false;
but it doesn't work. And I don't want to use the ToggleSidePanelButton.
Thanks.

Resizing the group tree width

Hi,
I was wondering , if there is a way to re-size the width for the group tree in DHTML viewer . When a report is rendered, and if it has a group , then there is a pan that's shown in the left side of the report . Is there a way to set the width of it like a parameter file or SDK , to make it 5% or some width that I want , rather than the default.
Thanks in advance .

Take a look at the setToolPanelWidth and setToolPanelWidthUnit methods from the CrystalReportViewer class.

Remove show/hide group tree at inforview for cystal report

Hi there!
I have 2 copies of Inforview install on 2 computers.
The first one, is my local comp. The display of cyrstal report at dynamic viewer is ok.
However on my second comp. The viewer will default to show the group tree stucture. I have tried to set the configuration at web.config. But it is still displaying the group tree structure.
Anyone could assist me?
Thanks and Regards,
Joni

I have tried disabling the option "Show Preview Panel" (according to a screenshot I found, this option replaced the old "Create Group Tree" option) in Report Options, and that effectively eliminates the content of the group tree, however, the group tree panel still comes up and shows empty until it is hidden using the toolbar.
This is really annoying and I can't find any solution for it on the web. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Joerg.

Create bookmarks from group tree issue

Hello,
I am the administrator of a calibration software that uses Crystal Reports as it's reporting engine. I currently have Crystal Reports XI Product Version 11.0.0.1282 installed on my computer.
I designed a report last week and when I would export it to a pdf, either through Crystal Reports or through the calibration software, I would have an option allow me to create bookmarks from group tree. It worked great. I then sent this report to our field engineers with instructions on how to run it and no one was able to see the "create bookmarks from group tree" option. Why would this be?
I thought it had something to do with not having the newest version of Crystal Reports so I tried to update the software from Help > Check for Updates. It searched for updates but then timed out and gave me a message that I was not connected to the internet even though I was. I then found my way to this site and downloaded "crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe".
I tried to install this and everything was going good until I was prompted to locate the file CrystalReports.msi. I could browse to any location but by default it was trying to find it in my temporary internet files for my browser. I searched my computer and did not have this file. I checked the CD and found it on there. I copied it from the CD to my hard drive. I tried to run the installation again and when prompted for CrystalReports.msi, I pointed it to the location on my hard drive but the software would not accept it.
I eventually canceled out of the install but every time I would launch Crystal Reports it would prompt me for the same file.
This morning I uninstalled Crystal Reports XI from my machine, rebooted, and reinstalled it. Now when I try to export the report, either through Crystal Reports or through the calibration software, I do not have an option to allow me to create bookmarks from group tree. It has disappeared.
So my questions are:
1. How do I get the "create bookmarks from group tree" option back?
2. How do I get the "create bookmarks from group tree" option to appear on my field engineer's computer when they run the report?
3. Why was I not able to update my software? Was I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I never had version 11.5 installed but I had the create bookmarks option. I had version 11.0 installed and had the create bookmarks option.
I'm still having problems installing Crystal Reports XI R2. It makes it through the entire installation and then a screen pops up telling me that it can not find "CrystalReports.msi". It is looking for this file in a temp file. I use the browse button and point it to the proper file location but it still won't accept it. The only thing I can do is exit out of the installation. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to do something special to upgrade Crystal Reports?

Main Reports' Group Tree doesn't retain last record selected

In Crystal 2008 Viewer, when you click one of the last tree nodes on a long Group Tree, the program jumps to that part of the report for that group. But when you return to the Main report tab the Group Tree pane returns to the top.
According to my users, previous Crystal versions used to outline the previously selected tree node and keep that section in the left pane, so the user could see where they just were.
This partially works in the Crystal 2008 Developer version. If I preview the report and drill down with the group tree, the Preview tab's group tree pane stays in place. I do not, however, have any outline or indication of what group was just selected.
I found this in the help text: "For longer reports or reports in which you wish to jump back and forth between different groups, the smart navigation features of the Group Tree make your work extremely efficient." For the users to jump back and forth efficiently they need the Main Reports' group tree to remember the general location from which they came (at a minimum) AND/OR the previously drilled record also be highlighted/outlined (at best).

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Sub report group tree in main report Using crystal report 12

Hi experts,
    I have a strange requirement like, same data needs to be grouped two different ways in a same report. Like
Store1:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
Store2:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
.....it goes like this
Department1(multiple stores)
      summary of sale on each item chart - store1
      summary of sale on each item chart - store2
     --........ it goes
Department2
      summary of sale on each item chart - store3
--........ it goes
   Its in single report, the first part is grouped only with store and in second part the store is under department. How to do this in same report?
    I achieved this by creating a sub report to display the first part of data and in the main report sup report data plus the second part of data will be displayed. And its working well but now the problem is the group tree, I'm not able to see the sub report group tree in the main report.
   How to get the sub report group tree in the main report, Or is there any other better way is there so i can get both the data as well the group tree. Please help me to solve this. CryCryCry
I'm using crystal report 2008(installed separately) with Visual Studio2008 (.Net3.5)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
    Yea both data source are same(Datasource is SQL Stored Procedure). I cant use like that, because my client needs the group tree also. In case if there is no group tree, we can create one more group and supress it conditionaly. But here the problem is there is no way to suppress any of the group item in group tree as we can do it in the detail section.
    So please me with some different ways and also , please clarrify the following doubts
1. Can we supress one or more items in the group tree.
2. Can we get the sub report group tree in main report(Everything is working when i used the sub reports except the group tree). So I'm trying for different ways to do, but none is helping me
Please help me

Having issues viewing interactive parameters and group tree in Visual Studio 2013 design view.

Hey Guys,
I'm a web developer (front end and back end, kind of a one man army sort of deal) and my current employer wishes to use crystal reports to display the results of the online survey apps/tools I have been working on for the last few months. However, I have been having trouble getting the reports to render in browser, and a lot of the ui components of the browser based report viewer (the interactive parameters and group tree) will not render properly in the design view of visual studio (ive attached a screen cap of what I'm talking about) or in the browser itself.
I am new to crystal reports and its community and if I am leaving out any critical details or have posted in the incorrect section please inform me and I will make changes as necessary.
Additional info:
Visual studio version: 2013 professional (trial)
Plugin version (exe file name): CRforVS_13_0_9.exe (I also installed the 64 bit run-time from this)
Server and OS versions: IIS 7.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-Mike

Hi Mike
First thing you want to do is uninstall CRVS SP 9 and install CRVS SP 10. SP 10 is the first SP to support VS 2013.
Once that is done, let us know if that helped any.

Hide the 'group tree' in crystal reports 2008

Hey Guys,
Please help me out.
I need to hide the group tree which automatically shoots on the crystal report after execution.
This is what i need to see. Only the report data (After report execution) i do not need to see the group tree under the tab 'main report' which appears on the left had side of the report.
I know that in the previous version there was an option which would hide the group tree option under File>Report Option> uncheck Group tree.
But there is no option here in CR 2008.
Is there a code i need to insert somewhere in the report??
Regards,
Harvino

Hi Chinmay,
Thanks for your quick reply, I was late on the reply because I had a load of other things to do. Sorry for that....
I am aware that we can click the toggle panel to remove the group tree.
But a user wants to hide the group tree on 1st run,,,, that is causing the problem.....
I cant seem to find an option we can disable group tree for the user, so that he may not view the group tree..

Report as an Inquiry tool - Controlling the Group Tree

Users would like to be able to use this report as an inquiry tool... having trouble with displaying only relevant data (or at least highlighting the appropriate/relevant data on the left hand window pane - aka the Group Tree).
Perhaps the report needs to be reconfigured as a subreport?
Here is the issue, any hints or suggestions are welcome!
thanks
CR Xi --version --> 11.0.0.2134
Report Groups on Last Name
Transaction detail; totaling an amount field (logic works to suppress if total of all transactions is not equal to zero) -- Report is reporting on zero balance records by last name --
Selection expert;
Sum ({transactions.Amount},{MASTER.HEAD_L_NAME}) >= $0.009 (group selection)
{MASTER.UNIT_ID} = "" (record selection)
Of the 10,000 records returned (unit id = blank), 200 records have a sum of zero in the amount fields (the sum of all transactions by last name) u2013 this all works fine
Is there a method to control what the users see on the group tree? What it is displaying on the left are the Group records (10,000) by last name who have a blank unit id in the master file... drilling down on one of the 200 transactions where the record meets both criteria works fine...but the other 8,800 records don't meet the detail/transaction criteria, so there is nothing to display and hence the drill down makes no sense when used as a query - The correct records are shown on the report - that is, if the users printed the report, they would get records which meet both criteria...
Can only records show on the left side when they meet both the group (id = blank) and detail (transactions summed = 0) selection criteria?
Or can they at least these that meet both criteria be highlighted in some way?

try using Group selection (select expert->group) along with record selection.

Group Tree: Error in Ajax response - message: missing } in XML expression

Hi,
We were using a previous version of Crystal libs and viewer. I wanted to get up to date with the latest jars and viewer so I downloaded and installed the version with Eclipse 3.4.1 and crystal development bundled together.
I've copied the new jars from there into my existing project. I've also copied the folder cyrstalreportviewers into the project. We're using Tomcat 6.
I've now got a problem with the Group Tree at the moment since I started using the latest libraries and crystal report viewers.
My web.xml looks like this.
        <context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
          <param-value>/crystalreportviewers</param-value>

          <url-pattern>/CrystalReportViewerHandler</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
A request to the uri https://......../WebApp/CrystalReportViewerHandler?id=3
The servlet doesn't do anything that seems to be uncommon. I can post more precisely what it does if needed.
The report will load correctly, I don't get an error page asking if my crystalreportviewers/ path is accessable to the server.
I get a parameter page asking for a value. I enter that and click OK.
The viewer sends a POST request to my Servlet and is handled correctly.
The report is then loaded.
On the click of an item in the Group Tree it sends an Ajax POST request and I then get the following error:
message: missing } in XML expression

Clicking on the Groups headers on the right hand pane work as expected. Although I notice they are not Ajax requests.
I've spent a few days at this now and I feel like I'm running out of options but to revert back to the previous version we were using. I presume this works elsewhere so I've got to be doing something incorrectly with my setup.
If anyone needs more info then please ask.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Ted,
Thanks for your reply.
That's our own Servlet. It extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
doGet does the following stuff:
Creates a ReportClientDocument.
Sets the ReportAppServer to "inproc:jrc".
Opens the report as read only.
Gets the DBController and calls logon on it.
Then calls replaceConnection.
Adds some discrete param values.
Creates a CrystalReportViewer.
gets the report source from the report client document.
sets the report source on the crystal report viewer.
set own page to true.
sets the report source in the session.
The crystal Report Viewer then processes the Http Request.
doPost:
gets the report source from the session.
creates a CrystalReportViewer.
sets the report source on the crystal report viewer.
set own page to true.
The crystal Report Viewer then processes the Http Request.
One thing I changed in there was the way the data source was changed. It used to loop through tables.
Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
newTable.setQualifiedName(qualifiedName);
clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable);
Now it does this:
DatabaseController dbController = clientDoc.getDatabaseController();
dbController.logon(username, password);
dbController.replaceConnection(new ConnectionInfo(), connectionInfo, null, DBOptions._useDefault);
If you need more info please do let me know. Thanks for your help.
