Enabling Report Filters and Properties

For an Object Property to be utilized by a report as either a Filter or display Property, a setting in the Property Definitions dialog must be enabled.  For example:

 

Although this setting is available for several properties, it has been added for future development and may not necessarily be used in the reports.  In the TRACCESS CI Default Configuration Settings_84.xls, there is a worksheet called Object Definitions.  In this spreadsheet, a few columns have been added to help in knowing which properties are used in Reports, and which are enabled for future development.

To see in the application whether the property is available for searching or reporting, you must look in two different places.

Property available for Searching

In the Search dialog, there is an Advanced tab.  After selecting the desired object in the Object Type field, click the Add button.  If the property is available for searching, it will appear in the Property field.

Property available for Reporting

If you wish to see if the property is available for reporting (filter and property display), try creating a Qualification Report template.  This particular type of report contains all of the possible objects available for filtering and property display.

Use the following parameters to check if the property is available:

If the object itself does not appear, the object is not available to be reported on.  If the property does not appear, go back to the Property Definitions dialog for that object and ensure that the Allow Advanced Searching and Enable for Report Filtering and Display is enabled.
