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.

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.

Remove group tree and parameter button from crystal view in iView

Hi
I have a crystal report which renders in an iView on the SAP portal. When a user views the report, in the viewer I see the group tree button and the parameter button. Is there a way to disable the group tree button and parameter button ?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Udi,
I have a page within it I have a Composite view (SearchPage) and an iview (MyIview1). I have passed a URL to the iview (MyIview1).
In searchpage i have a variable @Address which is selected from a dropdown box. On click of a button i need to pass the variable @Address to the iview (MyIview1). which should be appended to the URL that i pass to MyIview1.
If i use URL action it opens as popup, and shows the desired result. But, I want it to open within the iview (myiview1).
Please let me know how else do i pass the variable from composite view to the url iview within the same page as ="www.abcd.com?address="&@Address does not open the url in the iview.
Thanks and Regards... Vibha

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

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.

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.

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

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?

Hiding report title in Group Tree View Pane

In a .rpt file, if I provide a Group Field, it is displayed in the "Group Tree View" when I preview the report.
The Group Tree View pane also contains the name of the report - actually the title. Is there a way that I can choose not to show report title on this pane?
Here is my requirement:
I'm localizing the report file and that includes localizing group names too. I've also localized the report title by using a formula and displaying the formula in the report header. But this pane - Group Tree View - uses report title from "Special Fields", which I'm not able to modify. So I'm always getting the non-localized report title displayed on this pane, which I want to avaid somehow.
If I remove report title from the report properties, this pane shows report file name instead, which again i do not want to be displayed.
Rgds,
Chris

After removing the report title from the report properties try to place a space " " in the report title field in summaryinfo so that a blank space is shown in the group tree.
Regards,
Raghavendra

Displaying a single List View Column in a page of narrative

Can anyone help.
I have created a list view with a single line i.e. (ID, Name, Dept = 1, "Joe Bloggs", "Finance")
Is there anyway that I can display the Name "Joe Bloggs" on a site page full of narrative?
i.e. The only member of the Finance team in this list is Joe Bloggs.
Is there a PowerShell command that will return the column data?
Any help appreciated.

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.

Group Tree issue when refreshing- Crystal for Visual Studio 2010 WPF Viewer

Hello,
We've run into an issue when refreshing reports with the WPF viewer for Visual Studio 2010. After the report is refreshed, the Group Tree is blank and it should have values. For example, you run a report and see values in the Group Tree. If you refresh the report with the same parameter values the Group Tree is blank.
Has anyone run into this yet?
Thanks,
Tyler

That is correct.
I just did a quick test and was not able to reproduce the issue.
Details of test:
1) Create a new app;
File | New | Project
Visual Basic | reporting -> Crystal Reports WPF Application
2) Add the "Open File" button to the viewer (ShowOpenFileButton off of the WPF viewer properties)
3) Run app
4) Browse to a report that has a number of groups >250
5) Refresh report using the Refresh button on the viewer
I'll work on this a bit later today, see if I can repro it another way. Meanwhile, can you provide mode details (code) on how you repro the issue?

Disable Group Tree in ActiveX Viewer

Post Author: gouldjw
CA Forum: Administration
When displaying reports from Crystal Report Server, I need to set a global setting to disable the group tree. This used to be a simple checkbox in Crystal Enterprise, but I can't find the setting in XI R2 anymore. Is there an easy way to turn off group trees server-wide? For that matter, I'd like to also disable the Refresh button, too.

Are you using the CR4VS2010 beta? If so check the readme and change your subject line then search.

Adobe acrobat pro x change the program's default page display to single page view - Windows 8, HP La

Since there were no answers, I will take a stab at a reponse. For the 2nd method, I suspect you could simply select the print or press job options to get the desired results or turn off "use local fonts" in Acrobat. If you check the font list, the fonts are probably not embedded and that is likely the problem.
I noticed that you have both Reader and Acrobat installed and that might cause some conflict, but should not be the issue here. If you were to uninstall Reader, you would have to repair Acrobat. The conflict here is that you might have problems with the one opening when you want the other. If it works for you, then don't worry about it.
For technique 1, I suspect you may be using IE 9 that has apparently been a problem since it came out. I have refused to install it. However, it may simply be that PDF Maker does not work correctly with your browser, or got deactivated and needs to be allowed to run in your browser (IE I am assuming).

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
