Hi,
We have created several "templates" for the standard reports in our application. How do we "automate" the process of copying the pre-defined reports from the code? And while creating a "copy", how do we change its name?
For example, let say we have "Sales Report Template". When it is "copied" we want its name to be "Sales Report" .
Hello Voxdei,
You can create a copy of the existing report using the ReportDataProvider.ReportsStorage.CopyFrom method. Here is an example:
C#Type reportDataType = Application.Modules.FindModule<ReportsModuleV2>().ReportDataType;
using (IObjectSpace os = ReportDataProvider.ReportObjectSpaceProvider.CreateObjectSpace(reportDataType)) {
IReportDataV2 template = (IReportDataV2)os.FindObject(reportDataType, new BinaryOperator("DisplayName", "Sales Report Template"));
IReportDataV2Writable reportData = (IReportDataV2Writable)os.CreateObject(reportDataType);
ReportDataProvider.ReportsStorage.CopyFrom(template, reportData);
reportData.SetDisplayName("Sales Report");
os.CommitChanges();
}
