Hello IFS community,

 

I wonder if somebody has replaced an IFS report with a custom crystal report?

For example: 

The IFS report => MRB Label Report (Report: Material Review Board Label)

 If this is possible, could somebody please provide the steps to do it?

If it is possible, please provide screenshots.

 

Thanks,

JL

I have a doubt whether I'm correctly understand your requirement, If not please excuse it.

If you want to change the existing Report Layout by replacing a custom crystal report, Yes you can do it by adding new report layout to the particular report definition.

Hi @ZTC ZTC JGOTA 

 

Simple answer is yes you can. But make sure you have bought CRYSTL component in your IFS suite which enables the crystal report functionality.

In order to replace ordinary reports with Crystal layouts, you need to develop the crystal layout and install Crystal Reports Web Service which  would allow the printing and previewing of Crystal Reports in IFS.

Hope following links from IFS documentation would be useful

Crystal Reports as Operational Reports (ifs.com)

Example of Creating a Basic Report for the Crystal Reports Plug-in (ifs.com)

Configure The Crystal Web Service for IFS Enterprise Explorer

 

Cheers!
