Hello, I created CF, I enabled him as visible for Report Designer in IFS Cloud. I see data from this CF in IFS Cloud, in Report Designer I see his name, but it retrieves no data, why?

 

Thanks

If you see the CF in report designer and don’t see data, it’s highly likely that you are previewing from a archive record which created before creating the CF. Print/Preview the report again in IFS cloud and use the generated archive key to preview the report from report designer.

 

Hope it helps!

@Ed22 Can you share some pictures and/or more details about your report definition?

Hi ​@Ed22 

Please check the following option is enabled on your report definition.

@Ed22 you need to regenerate the report from IFS AURENA so that the XML file could be updated. 

An old result key created prior to adding your new custom field would not work.

And for example: 

 

SELECT
  LISTAGG(
    t1.component_part || ' - ' || t1.CF$_C_COMPONENT_DESCRIPTION,
    CHR(10)
  ) 
FROM table1 t1
JOIN table2 t2
  ON REGEXP_SUBSTR(t1.part_no, 'M[0-9]+_[0-9]+') =
     REGEXP_SUBSTR(t2.part_no, 'M[0-9]+_[0-9]+') 
WHERE t2.order_no = :order_no

 

When I add this CF, it works, but when I want to add only component_desciption or component part, it doesnt work.
