Display Report Title/Path in any place

Hi
I'd like to display the report name and path at any place of a report (f.e. a footer). Does anybody know if there's a variable where the report path/name is stored?
I only know how to display the name of the report in the title view and that's not flexible enough.
Thanks

Display Report Title line in Printer Queue Again

Post Author: ShowMeTheName
CA Forum: General
Hello, this is my question:
How can I get our Crystal Reports XI printed from our VB application to show again the line u201CCrystal Reports + The Report Titleu201D in the printer queue?
We first started generating reports with Visual Studio 2003 and Crystal Reports for VB.Net. Months later, we upgraded to Crystal Reports XI Developers Edition.
When we built our application in VB and CR for VB.Net (v.9?) and printed reports from it, they showed the Crystal Reports line with the report title in the printer spooler. Now that we upgraded to CR XI DE and compiled our program, the reports only show the line u2018Documentu2019 in the printer spooler. The report title is gone.
Does anyone know how to get that report title back? If we open a report in the Crystal Reports program and we print it from there, we do get that line u201CCrystal Reports u201C and the Report Title in the printer spooler. However, when we print the same reports from our VB application (and whatever upgrades installed by CR XI), the report title is replaced by a very annoying u2018documentu2019 word.
We need the report title to show in the printer queue to distinguish our reports.
In our VB app, we open the reports as a new ReportDocument and then we print them with the PrintToPrinter code.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Do you guys think that if we replaced the new report references with the original version will do the trick?
We donu2019t want to change or eliminate the u201CCrystal Reportsu201D words because I know we canu2019t. What we want is that line back so it can show the report title. I certainly like that line better than the u201Cdocumentu201D one we get now.
Thanks for your help!

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...
Manish

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

Presentation Variable - Display 'All Values' in Report Title

If I create a Dashboard Prompt and then set it equal to a Presentation Variable, I then display this Presentation variable in the report title. For the Dashboard Prompt I allow them the 'All Values' choice, in fact, this is the default.
The issue is displaying this in the Report Title, when it is 'All Value' nothing is display in the title, when they select a value such as 'Region D' then it works and this value will dispaly.
I looked at the documentation and it says you can use a default value, however, setting up that still does not work. It still is blank.
Has anyone seen this issue or know of a workaround? I'd like to have something like 'All Vales' display or is there a condition I could write to set this.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I have did the following in order to achieve your requirement:
As usual, create a request with a column prompted and a dashboard prompt containing that column and set the Presentation Variable (ex: varDept)... bla bla..
Placed them on the Dashboard to generate your issue, discussed...
Now, what I have did is:
1. Created one more Request with the column used on Prompt and specified the Formula to it as:
CASE WHEN '@{Dept}'||'A'='A' THEN 'All Departments' ELSE '@{Dept}' END
Note: Take 2 same columns (and hide one) because we are using above formula which does not contains the Column from any table.
2. Created Narrative View and referenced the above Column.. @2 (in my case).. and specify 1 in 'Rows to Display' field. Do the formatting as required viz., specifying Font size, family....
3. Place this request in between the Prompt and First Request..
Now, you can able to see 'All Departments' if 'All Choices' is selected.
Hope this idea will helps you guys..

How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title

Good day,

Hi Arun,
Try this.
1, Set one dynamic parameter,
2, Drag and drop that parameter into your report title.
3, Pass the value(sort value) dynamically from your application,
4, Cheers..
Other wise Try with Dataset, create a dataset and fill thev alue into that.. Then set the data source from CR designer. and darg and drop that data column into the report.
Hope this will work,

How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

OBIEE - edit report entities like title, column name, decimal places

Hi all,
How do I edit OBIEE report entities like title, column name, decimal places?
I know I can edit column name in repository, but I hope I can do it also at report level.
As you can see, year looks like "2012.00", I don't need these zeros after "2012", how do I edit it?

Using Criteria tab
Column Properties->Data Format->Override Default Data Format
You may go for Save button to make it catalog level for that column

Could you please give some idea to display Report tile <html Title> on generated report?
I am not using CrystalReportViewer to export my report
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
reportClientDocument.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);

newSummaryInfo.setTitle("<new reportName>");
reportClientDocument.modifySummaryInfo(newSummaryInfo);
reportClientDocument.save();
reportClientDocument.close();

Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

Hi,
We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
Thanks
DR

You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.

SQL Report Viewer Web Part Not displaying Report

I have just completed updating an old report using report builder 3.0. I have added it to SharePoint Designer but have not replaced the old report file.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
All I did was export the old report from sharepoint designer to my desktop. Then opened it with Report Builder 3.0- made changes to the report and saved it with a different name (for safety in case i break things) and then upload it back to the same place where
the old report was located using SP Designer. I then went back to the site in sharepoint that is displaying the old report, and changed the URL path in the SQL report viewer to the new report.
Now the SQL Report Viewer web part isn't showing anything (blank)

Insert dynamic variable in report title?

Hi
I am new to Discoverer. I have created a report that displayed a set of data based on the value of last month. So I have created a calculation that gets the value of last month:
LAST_MONTH = TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'MM'),-1),'MON/YYYY')
I then use the value of LAST_MONTH to select dates from my data where DATE LIKE LAST_MONTH.
But I want the report title to actually have the value of LAST_MONTH in it, so it actually says something like
Report for NOV/2009
dynamically etc.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Lee

Hi Lee
To add to what Rod has said, which is 100% correct, let me explain why.
In order to get something into the title of any report or document, whether this be Word, Excel, SQL or even Discoverer, that something must be applicable to all of the values currently displayed on the page of the report. Whereas Word or Excel will allow you to manually place something into the title, Discoverer does not. In order for Discoverer to allow you to place something into the title it must either be a Page Item or a Parameter. This is because Page Items and Parameters are guaranteed to be unique to the page of the report being displayed. Thus, if you had more than one Page Item, as you move from one to the next the title would dynamically change. When you have a fixed value or calculation, such as your LAST_MONTH, you still need to display it in the Page Items in order to place it on your title.
To make a Page Item or Parameter display in the title you simply type the & character followed by the name of the item as it appears in the Page Items or by the name you gave the Parameter. Case is import too so last_month is not the same as LAST_MONTH.
Whenever Discoverer encounters the character & in the title it starts looking for a Parameter or Page Item named by whatever is following the &. If it finds a match it displays the value. It no match is found then it literally displays whatever you typed. Any additional characters that you type after a successful match are also display literally.
For example: suppose you Page Item is called LAST_MONTH and the value was NOV-09 but in the title you typed &LAST_MONTHS then what will display would be NOV-09S. However, if you typed $last_months then you will literally see &last_month in the title.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
Michael
