Formatting the Group Tree?

Post Author: paulold
CA Forum: General
I create grouped reports in Crystal all the time. (I am now using CRXI.) One little pet peeve I have is how Crystal presents the Group Tree when I am using a number field for my grouping. For example, we have order numbers like 10128276 and if I want to group my report on the order number, the group tree will do so, but the order numbers will look like this: 10,128,276.00. This looks like a mistake to my endusers. Sure, I can live with it, but I would love to hear of a way to format what appears in the Group Tree. Why doesn't the formatting of the group header get carried over into the group tree? Thanks! [email protected]

Checkout this KBase article. If you do not want commas then change the suggested formula to totext(,0,"",""). Pay particular attention to the drawback mentioned at the end of the article.

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.

Report Header is hided when navigating in the Group Tree

Hello there,
I have an issue when navigating in CR reports by using the Group Tree. When I chose an entry in the tree, the Report header is hided. Please advise what needs to be changed in order to keep the report header during Group Tree navigation
thanks

Report Header is only visible on the first page of the report. If you click on an entry that is on the first page of the report, is the report header visible then?
If you want the information in the report header visible on every page, consider moving it to a page header.

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.

Crystal Report Export to PDF with Group Tree Bookmarks

Dear Forum
I have created a Crystal Report aspx page with an export function of the report to pdf. So far all has been successful, except form one little annoying this. The report does export to a pdf file and it does create bookmarks based on the group tree, BUT when opening the pdf file the bookmarks hiest point which should be the file name is the really long temp file name with .rpt as an extension. I have looked every where to try to get it to write the filename to the bookmark hierarchy without success.
I come you you all for any form of help to solve this issue.
My code is below
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions export_options = new ExportOptions();
            export_options.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
            string ext = ".pdf";
            string reportName = "Filename";
            CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfFormatOptions pdfOptions = new PdfFormatOptions();
            pdfOptions.CreateBookmarksFromGroupTree = true;
            export_options.ExportFormatOptions = pdfOptions;
            report.ExportToHttpResponse(export_options, Response, true, reportName);
            Response.Clear();
            Response.Buffer= true;
            Response.End();
Below is an image of the output
Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Using the search box in the top right corner and entering the search string 'bookmark pdf crystal', the very 1st KBA is:
1331152 - Report exported to PDF format with bookmarks displays the bookmarks as report name plus a GUID
Please see if this resolves the issue for you.

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.

From CR 2008 Developer Help file:
The new parameter panel in Crystal Reports 2008 lets users set static and dynamic parameters and refresh the report. Users can also interactively format and filter report data. The parameter panel is available from the tool panel. You can access the parameter panel by clicking the Toggle Interactive Parameters button on the toolbar or programmatically by using the following code:
Visual Basic Copy Code
myCrystalReportViewer.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel
C# Copy Code
crystalReportViewer.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel;
You can hide the Toggle Interactive Parameters button programmatically by using the following code:
Visual Basic Copy Code
myCrystalReportViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = False
C# Copy Code
crystalReportViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = false;
The panel displays all parameters that have been set to Editable or Read only. If a parameter is set to Editable, you can add, delete or modify parameter values by clicking the Show the Advanced dialog box button. If the parameter values are modified but not applied, an asterisk will appear beside the parameter field to indicate that the values were not applied to the report.
Note
If the parameter accepts custom values, you can directly edit the parameter value in the text box on the parameter panel.
A database icon will appear adjacent to data parameters. When you modify the value of a data parameter, the report refreshes and accesses the database to make the corresponding changes. When you modify the value of a non-data parameter, the report is formatted or filtered based on saved data within the report. The report does not access the database.

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:
