Something that is important then is “screen real estate.” Here is how to remove “cruft” on the screen, and how to enable full-screen mode. Enable full-screen mode by pressing F11.

I have a report in IFS Report Designer, and I want it to only display a table if there is data in it. Currently, if the table doesn't contain any data, the report still prints a blank space or page. How can I modify the report so that the table only appears when there is data to display? I tried playing around with page break functionality but that doesn’t seem to fix the issue. I assume I have to set up condition but I do not exactly know how to figure out the correct expression to add there...any idea?

I have another account that I created using another email address. On that account, when I try to create a new topic or question here in the forum, I get an error that says I don’t have permission for that category.

This account I’m posting from is representing an IFS customer - so maybe it has more rights by default - and non-customers are not allowed to post?

Any idea on whats causing this issue particularly for this screen? Customer Order Lines without site selected in the header...
I am running into a background job warning that is halting machine downtime information (pulled from an outside source) from showing up in Shop Floor Clocking.The warning message, although points me in the right direction, seems incomplete. It doesn't stop the information from being retrieved into IFS, but it does not appear within the clocking screen which plays a part in overhead transactions and such. Any advice?The log we have withing IFS from the 3rd party tool shows the machine timestamps but when the column “Downtime Recorded” is unchecked, this means it did not transfer to Shop Floor Clocking.
