how to add a view to Modules_rep in an existing RDL file in Report Designer? Have to add a new field from a new view than the existing view (barcode_lines) in the rdl file (report to register arrivals )

@nithya To work with the .rdf, you need to do that work in IFS Developer Studio.  It’s not something you can do in IFS Report Designer.

However, I looked at the definition of the Inventory Part Barcode Report and it has built in functionality that supports adding custom fields from the InventoryPartBarcode LU (Entity).  This means that you could add your custom field to that Entity using an Entity Configuration in IFS Cloud (Sol Mgr/Configuration/Entity Configurations/Entity Configurations), or a custom attribute in IFS IEE (RMB/Custom Objects).

Once the field is added and published, you should be able to see it in the Barcode Line folder in IFS Report Designer when connected to IFS.

Hi ​@nithya 

To introduce new view you must introduce the related Entity to the .report file and make the relationship to the other entities and there you can add whatever the fields you need to display in your layout.

To add a field to a existing view you should add it to the .report file and it will create the change in .rdf file automatically, you can change your spacific logic to fetch value there using a cursor or a API call.

hi ​@nithya 

 

You can write a cursor in .rdf file to get values of view RECEIPT_INFO_ALT and assigned whatever the values you need to bind in fields of BARCODE_LINES.

 

Thanks & Regards,
Asanka.
