Processing Only report with initial filters

fabrizioc · 2016-01-20

Hi to all, I'm trying to create a Processing Only report to update the description of several records in a single command.
I need to allow the user to specify a filter from interface to select this values and I've seen that the Process only report seems to fit well.
Only one question, which trigger should I use to apply the filter ?
Can someone suggest me a good example ?
Thank you in advance for your feedback

Hi,
Suppose you are planning to Update the Description Of Item then you can two things -
1. Create a Report With DataItem as Item.
** User can filter on any of the Field In Item Table Before Running the Report.
** As you said the Description that you want to update, will be same for all Records within filter.
** OnPreDataItem You Can write - Modifyall("Description",'NewDescription');

2. You can Have Custom Filter Page and Report with Data Item as Item which Run only Once.
** Then You can apply Filter on PreData Item.
** Then you can proceed as you want.

Let me know if any issues.
