Question

Crystal Report Filter not displaying in IFS


Forum|alt.badge.img+11

I have created a Crystal Report with a Filter that works in Crystal Designer but when I launch in IFS via Quick Reports it does not prompt for the Filter so displays the report blank?

 

In the back of my mind I feel like I need another field, hidden in the report to make it work but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is.

 

can anyone advise why the Crystal Report Filter does not prompt?

 

Thanks,

To get a crystal quick report to prompt, I think you need to to setup a parameter field on the report - at least, that’s what worked for me.

@Hypervox Thanks. The Parameter / Filter works in Crystal Designer but not in IFS. Do I need another parameter in Crystal?

 

Thanks,

Here’s an example from a working crystal report.  You’ll see I have two parameter fields in this one - “Activity_date” and “Shop_orders”.

The only other things to do is to make sure you’ve setup your report with the recommended cr_web_init stuff…
