Including Group Tree in HTML Export

I have a report in Crystal Reports XI that includes 5 group headers. When exporting to HTML I would like to include controls similar to the Group Tree so that the user viewing the HTML page can expand and collapse sections (i.e. start with just the Group 1 items displayed all others collapsed and the user could then drill into the Group 2 and then Group 3 levels). Is there a way to do this through Crystal Reports? If not are there any alternative approaches I should explore?
Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken,
Not possible in exporting to HTML, it's all static info.
One option is to create your own WEB application or use Crystal Reports Server to publish your reports to and then users can log in and use the viewers to see them.
Another option is to send them the RPT file, but they will need a copy of CR to be able to preview it.
Thank you
Don

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.

PDF Export - Group Trees When Using Sub Reports

Hi
I have a complex Crystal Reports 2008 report which links to various Sub Reports using a classic Master-Child relationship via the Sub Report Linking options.
The report works fine but when I am Exporting the Master report to PDF and the Group Tree gets exported correctly for the Master but none of the Group Trees in the Child Sub Reports get exported. Unfortunately the report Preview doesn't show the Group Tree for Sub Reports either - I'm guessing that both issues are intrinsically linked.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is this a bug or does Crystal Reports 2008 not support this?
Regards
A

Report is Blank Until you Click Group Tree

Hello,
I have a report that is opening as a totally blank page (except for group tree). When you click on group tree, the report appears. Once this happens, you can refresh the report, and it is fine.
Can someone tell me what is happening, and how I can fix it?
Thanks.

As you've discovered, this can be caused when the Preview app on a Mac saves a PDF form. Any script you download has to be installed in the correct location and then Acrobat has to be restarted. Here's a link to an updated script that works with Reader: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
An alternative to using a script with Acrobat is to export the form data and then reimporting it into the form.

How do you edit the HTML export template?

Fireworks HTML and images export does not render correctly when viewing in IE9 due to the default browser padding values. I'm a little disappointed the Fireworks dev team didn't see this coming and add some code to prevent this rendering issue. Anyway... I've come up with a work around to edit the html pages by adding my own style sheet which includes the yahoo CSS reset styles to take care of this problem and it works great. The only problem is, adding it to every page of a multiple page export is tedious. So, I'd like to directly edit the HTML template fireworks uses to generate the html in the head of each page it exports so it includes a reference to my own external style sheet. I just need to know where/if I can make this change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg

I've never tried it, but the HTML Code folder inside Fireworks' application Configuration folder contains a number of items related to HTML Export. (Incidentally, I'd never mess with this folder without first saving a backup, and even then it's at your own risk.)
There's no simple HTML template file here, but there are files like "DreamweaverLibrary.htt", which is a "hypertext template" file that looks a lot like JavaScript to me. So if you're comfortable modifying JavaScript, then you could take a crack at it. I'm not sure, but it looks like this library file might govern what gets written into the head of an exported HTML document. If not, you could try a different one.
Another, less invasive approach might be to do some kind of Find and Replace on the exported HTML documents—using Dreamweaver or a text editor.

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.

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.

Raghavendra

Group tree button disabled

I have a report that previously used to include a "group tree". Later versions of the report the group tree is gone and the group tree button has been disabled. I've checked "report options" and "options" to make sure the the the "group tree" options and show group tree options have been enabled, but I still can't seem to get the group tree to come back on the report.

Hi
For further investigation we need the CR version.
What is the exact Crystal Report Version yo uare using at your end?

Group Tree

Hi,
My Detail section was suppressed and my display fields moved to footer to avoiding duplicate records.

There may be an option you can set. I found an Inforviewer's User Guide here:

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?

Skype Unlimited - why doesn't it include group vid...

I have had Skype World Unlimited for many years now and I don't understand why it doesn't include Group Video Calling. I already pay more than the Skype Premium subscription on my current subscription, I find it odd that I need to get a Skype Premium subscription on top of my Skype World Unlimited subscription.
Is Group Video Calling likely to be added to Skype World Unlimited at any point?
Also, I notice my subscription no longer exists in the list of Skype subscriptions under the Prices menu.

Oh yes, iMovie can export to all the different QuickTime formats. For compatibility, you may want to try exporting to Sorenson. That's been included in QuickTime for quite some time and should run on most installations that people already have.

Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount 28

Post Author: tadj188#
CA Forum: Formula
Needed: Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount > 28
Background:
1) Report SQL is created with unions to have detail lines continue on a page, until it reaches page footer or report footer, rather than using subreports.    A subreport report is now essentially a group1a, group1b, etc. (containing column headers and other data within the the report    with their respective detail lines). I had multiple subreports and each subreport became one union.
Created and tested, already:
1) I have calculated @TotalLineForEachOfTheSameGroup, now I need to sum of the individual same group totals to get the total line count on a page.
Issue:
1) I need this to create break on a certain line before, it dribbles in to a pre-printed area.
Other Ideas Appreciated:
1) Groups/detail lines break inconveniently(dribble) into the pre-printed area, looking for alternatives for above situation.
Thank you.
Tadj

export all image of each page try like this
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myFolder = myDoc.filePath;

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
