Can someone please explain how can I display selected filters in a text box in Cognos ? I am preparing this report in cognos report studio
// , Use the following function call:
ParamDisplayValue(?paramname?)
From the documentation:
ParamDisplayValue
Returns a string that is the parameter display value
of "parameterName". This function appears in the Recruitment Report
sample report in the GO Data Warehouse (analysis) package.
Syntax
ParamDisplayValue (’parameterName’)

Is it possible to print output reports from a Generic Inquiry page? The use case would be for our users to review a GI, sort/filter as they desire, then print the result set through an output report. They need the data to be presented and formatted in a specific presentable way (which also includes pictures that would be typically brought into the report).
In a perfect world, we would add a "Reports" Menu to the GI screen that will show all the different types of reports we would allow for them to select.
I know we can build our own custom screens to accomplish this, but our hope is to develop a more generic way on top of the generic inquiries so that everything doesn't have to be so custom each time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Generic inquiry is not a report. What that means concretely is that a generic inquiry is restricted to tabular display format. The most common reporting file format for tabular data is XSLX (Microsoft Excel Open XML) which can be exported with the Export Excel button:
With reports you need to define the tables and relationships in the Report Editor Schema Builder so there's no single report that apply to all generic inquiries. You need to create a specific report and configure the schema to match the records the generic inquiry is selecting. This can be generated with the generic inquiry Export As Report feature:
Does Acumatica Report Designer have this feature ??
In the Stock Item Description user entered text along with uploaded pictures / photographs in Acumatica.
How do I print the same in Report Designer ??
I included a Picture Box and modified the type as text/hmtl the text got printed on the Report. However Images in the Stock Item description which are updated in the Uploaded file table are available. How do they get placed in the report ??
AFAIK, report engine does not allow verbatim html due to security reasons.
I created a custom inquiry report in Visual Studio with the export to Excel button enabled. The page has a simple date filter.
All the values are exported correctly but we need to add the filter information to the document. This should be possible as Generic Inquiries print the parameters in the top of the sheet.
How can I either add the filter info to the document sheet or add the selected date to the filename?
Note: This is for an Acumatica custom inquiry page using the Acumatica Framework.
To export both parameters and results from an inquiry screen to Excel, you should decorate your BLC with DashboardTypeAttribute or one of its successors, like TableAndChartDashboardTypeAttribute and TableDashboardTypeAttribute.
The InventorySummaryEnq BLC serving Inventory Summary screen (IN401000) is decorated with TableAndChartDashboardType to export parameters and results to Excel:
[PX.Objects.GL.TableAndChartDashboardType]
public class InventorySummaryEnq : PXGraph<InventorySummaryEnq>
{
...
}
Currently supported widget types (parameters of the DashboardType attribute):
0 - Table (default)
1 - Wiki article
2 - Task
6 - Table with owner and workgroup
7 - Calendar
8 - Generic Inquiry
20 - Chart
You can pass your data to gridview, and set gridview.Caption as filter info, use convert gridview to excel function. See this http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/477436/Export-Gridview-Data-to-Excel-in-ASP-NET for details
What is the starting point to create a search display template in a table format and be able to specify which columns you want to display. Presently, the default format only shows the title, description, and link in a 3 row list. I would like to change this to have title, description, link in 3 columns (table format) and be able to add or remove more columns.
What I have managed till now is create a search page for Tasks, that only searches for files of that specific content type. Now I want to be able to decide which columns are shown in the resulting view and if possible show them in a tabular format.
I was thinking about finding a similar template and try edit the HTML to make it look as I want it. Is there a similar template? Or perhaps a ready template which I missed?
Thanks!
There was indeed a similar template, very similar to what I needed:

We just migrated to SP 2010 and I am trying to migrate a report library. I had no problems updating the project and re-deploying reports. They work just fine. The problem is that in my Default View or any Report Category view the report names are not visible. I double checked that the names are visible in properties. If I add a Title or Description they show up just fine. For some reason the name will just not display.
The only way I can get the names is the All Reports and Dashboards view.
Here is a screenshot of my Default View:
I suppose I can just use the Title field as a work around. But that solution does not allow the user to click the name to view the report and that is what they are used to.
I can view the reports by clicking the type image. Any ideas of why the name will not display are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I discovered the solution. In SP 2007 the default view was using the column Report Name. Changing it do Document Name instead resolved the issue.
