Call Custom DataView from Form

Hello all,

I'm looking to create a simpler report that uses a DataView and will be called through a Syteline form. It would simply be a daily report that returns a report of daily cycle counts. Looking at standard reports from Syteline, I think I know how to setup my form to run the report daily in the background and increment the date.

But I'm not certain how to call my custom DataView via the form? My dataview's filter would essentially be by trans_type = 'B' from matltran_mst and by the current date for the trans_date. Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!!

Yes and No! Process yes, programming language no!

We went from SL8 directly to SL10-Cloud-MT a year ago. We had to redo all the reports because of the change from Crystal Reports to Mongoose. If I am not mistaking SL9 uses Windows Reporting, so those will have to be redone from SL9 to SL10.

The same goes for any customization on forms. We had to redo everything in a Cloud-Friendly way so our customization would pass the monthly uplifts with minimum issues.

I would recommend that from now on, you concentrate on SL10.

You just need to insert a "dataview" component on your form:

Thank you for the suggestion, I just have a question about order of operations here: So what I'd like to do is have a simple interface for the user to interact with and to have two buttons, 'Preview' and 'Print'. Similar to this form I worked on earlier (but it calls a stored procedure):

Setting up the functionality for these buttons should be similar. But I'd like the preview or print of the DataView to open in a Modal child form or Report Viewer if possible. Thanks so much for this!

You just have to properly defined the events behind the PREVIEW and/or PRINT buttons. To open a Report Viewer, you are going to have to create the report viewer you need.

Thank you, Louise!! As I look more into this, is it the same process for v.9.00.20? We're in the process of upgrading to Syteline 10, but it won't be for another year. Thanks so much for your insights!!!
