Group tree display

I am looking for a way to filter what is displaying in my group tree. I have a report that displays three groups. I have been able to filter the report to only show the data in the report that I want it to display but my group tree still shows data.
Example: My report queries a database for alarm signals that occur for an account during a specified time period. I have three paramaters set up:ptransmitter, pStartDate, pEndDate. When I run the report, I can see the data based on the three parameters. If I only select a 1 month time period, the group tree is showing 18 months even though if you drill down to any month outside of the specified paramater, the data is not there for those months. This is puzzling to me because I do not have the same problem with the other groups on the tree, only the date(s).
Any ideas?
Tom

Hi Tom,
You can't filter group tree, this is by design. Once you pickup the data from our database, it will create the group tree even if you filter data based on your record selection.
To avoid this you will have to filter the data at database end.
Thanks,
Sastry

Group Tree displays a single character in Viewer.

Grouping on a formula for sorting purposesIf {?getResultSet - Parameter 8 (String)} = "SupplierName" then {getResultSet.SOSupplierName} else ...Group tree will display the supplier names when run in the designer eg. "ATT", "Bellsouth", "BizConnect", "Cingular", etc.In Viewer at runtime, it displays "A", "B", "B", "C" for the suppliers listed above, rather than their names.Can't find any other instances of this issue on Businessobjects.com, or through a google search.

Not to argue with Brian, but the Supported Platforms still contains IE 8 as being supported.

Crystal Report Viewer 13.0.2000 Group Tree does not properly display in IE8

We migrated from crystal reports 10.x.x to Crystal Reports 13.0.2000.
The group tree when rendered in IE8 shows the group icon in the middle.
See the attached picture.
However, the display is good in Google Chrome and IE11.
Since we already have a customer base using IE8, need a fix to resolve the IE8 issue.

ActiveX Viewer: Preventing Group Tree from displaying

We use URL reporting to bring the reports up in the ActiveX Viewer. With BO XI R2 the viewer always displays the group tree section even when the report is set to not generate the group tree. And of course we get lots of question on why this part is just displaying as a white section. This was not an issue in CE10 and we wonder how we can control this behaviour in the ActiveX Viewer.
Regards,
Stig

Does it work on WIN 2003 server?
The problem seems to be related to the amount of data that the group tree pane is displaying and some reports will render it properly whereas others will not.
If as a test if you filter the data so there is less of it, does the group tree pane appear on these reports?
Make sure the 'DisplayGroupTree' property is not set to False.

CR 2008 report not displaying until Group Tree clicked

We are having an issue with our CR 2008 web based reports. The reports run correctly locally, but not when launched from a Windows 2008 Server on which we installed Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 3.3 - Redist Install. This is a web based application written in ASP.NET and .NET framework 3.5.
When the report viewer is invoked, the Group Tree in the left hand pane appears with valid group data. The report viewer pane, however, is blank. If we click a node in the Group Tree, the report appears. If we click in the Page Number field and press ENTER, the report appears. As I previously mentioned, it works correctly when run locally from our development workstation.
This happens on all reports. We've created a brand new report with no groups and the same situation occurs. We've turned off the Group Tree in code with the same result. We've tried setting various properties on the viewer itself, and have even tried adding a bit of Javascript to have the page refresh the report after it appears, all to no avail.
Has anyone else seen this issue that might be able to suggest what we do differently to work around this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion David. I tried that this morning but the issue still remained. Are there any known issues with the latest 3.3 patch and the viewer?
As an added note, the issue is not browser specific. It happens in both IE and Firefox.
Thank you.

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.

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,

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.

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.

CRVS2010 Beta - group tree in VS 2010 Crystal Report

Hi, I have installed VS 2010 Beta 2 Crystral Report and converted VS2005 report to VS2010 version.
I noticed there is a group tree button on the left side of report and I can't remove it.
question1) is there a way to remove Parameter Panel from the report when the report comes up?
question2) if I cannot remove Parameter Panel, is there a way to disable/remove the group tree butten?
thanks

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.

Create Group Tree option no longer available in report designer

I am currently using Crystal Reports 2008 report designer to create reports which are embedded in our application. We deploy a run time version of Crystal within our application. In previous versions there was a report setting in the report designer to "Create Group Tree", this appears to no longer be available in Crystal 2008. My question is... Is there a way to enable this option outside of the report designer? Is there a setting that I am just missing? This is causing an issue since I cannot upgrade existing reports to the 2008 version without losing the ability to display the group tree. thanks

CR 2008 only has a .NET Report engine now so I moved your post to the .NET SDK forum.
I kind of recall this may have been and RDC API, there is no RDC in CR 2008 and the Embedded Designer is for use in the Visual Studio .NET IDE for creating reports only. No longer licensed to be used in an application nor can it be distributed. If you were using crpe32.dll it is no longer supported as of CR 9.
Search here also, lots of posts on various how to's.
Thank you

Group tree does not always render data in ActiveX viewer

We are using Crystal XI R2 and the RDC/ASP interface to render reports in the ActiveX viewer. The web server is a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit machine.
Yes, I know it is not supported but I was hoping someone may have a workaround.
We got the ActiveX viewer to render by making the noted fix to rptserver.asp but the problem we are now facing is that on certain reports, the group tree pane will not render all the data properly and comes up blank. The main report pane is no problem and displays the data fine. The problem seems to be related to the amount of data that the group tree pane is displaying and some reports will render it properly whereas others will not.
Anyone seen a similar problem before and have any clues as to how to correct it?

Does it work on WIN 2003 server?
The problem seems to be related to the amount of data that the group tree pane is displaying and some reports will render it properly whereas others will not.
If as a test if you filter the data so there is less of it, does the group tree pane appear on these reports?
Make sure the 'DisplayGroupTree' property is not set to False.

Group Tree Basic

Hi
I am using group trees in my report and it works fine, but I am not able to hide the group tree pane.
is there a way to hide it so that based on the use it displays only their results in the server when u run the report?
Also is there a way to show group trees for some users and hide it for some?
-like a super level user see all groups and runs report choosing from the group.
- an end user does nto see the group tree pane and only see his results based on the group condition.
Thanks!!

Are you in crystal reports XI / XIr2 / 2008 ?
In 2008 you wont be having that option in the report option, for that
go into > registry > Goto > Run > Type regedit>
In HKEy_Current Users > Software > Business Objects> Suite 12.0 > Report View > Change the string value of "Creategrouptree" as NO then open the report and try to refresh.
Hope this helps!
