report

[RSH]

Hi all,

Attached is my report. I want to have 5 things on it.

1. Lock all the 8 text box position

2. Lock the image on top left cornor

3. The Name text box should be validated. Only if the person is some ABC, then only he can fill the rest details or go to next page of report.

4. Only when the all the empty green color text boxes are filled, then only the person can move to next page of report. 

5. When i run my script, the graph has to be displayed on the second sheet of my report (From Data Portal sheet).

I will run my script first, graph will go automatically to second page. but the user can view only first page. After filling it and validating the name then only the user can view the second page graph plotted for his data.

Is there a way to do all these in DIAdem report. Need urgently. plz help

thnx in adv

Rsh.

Hello Rsh,

What you will have to do here is to create a user dialog box in DIAdem SCRIPT and then add that dialog box to a Script, along with the call of the REPORT layout you have created.

Here are the general steps you have to take:

1. In the REPORT layout, you need to replace the boxes with variables. T1, T2, T3 and T4 are DIAdem text variables that can be used for this.
2. You need to allow the user to set these variables through a user dialog (see example below)
3. You need to create a Script that calls the dialog, accepts the inputs for T1 - T4 and then loads the layout and displays the layout with the embedded variables.

I have created an example for that scenario. The files required for this are in the ZIP file below. You will have to use my updated layout file as well, as attached.

For information about user dialogs, search for the following term in the DIAdem help system please: "Dialog Boxes, Create user dialog boxes"

Let me know if that does what you are looking for,

Hi Otmar,

your.sud file was not opening. I did it as mentioned and it worked.

But for me I want these name, customer project, sample number and build level to be displayed on the report. The intension is, wheni take a print out of my report, one can see who has done that test (Name), for whom (customer) sample and build level . So i need a copy of these 4 text values in the report. What is the best way to achieve this??

MAny thanks,

Rsh

Hello Rsh,

I used DIAdem 2010 to create the example, and you would have to use the same version in order for the SUD to work.

The way to get the name, customer project, sample number and build level into the report is to create a user dialog, let the user enter the information there, and then transfer the variables to the report and update the report (as is done in my previous example).

There is no way to force the user to enter anything in the report directly.

Please watch the attached AVI video to see how this is supposed to work with a user dialog ...

Hello Rashmi,

You can include the T1 - T4 variables simply be adding a text to the layout that contains the following statement:

@@T1@@

You can combine that with text, for instance like this:

Operator name: @@T1@@

The "@@" indicates to DIAdem that the statement included inside the @@ characters is a variable reference.

I noticed a few things in your layout that can be improved, but it would be much easier to discuss this on the phone vs. writing long messages here.

When would be a convenient time for you to get on the phone (I am in the Central Time Zone in the US, and have no problem getting on the phone later in the evening my time if that works best for you. I will set up a web sharing session to share screens.

Hi Otmar,

Many thanks for your time and concern. @@ T1 @@ worked great for me. I spent an hour on how to display it on my report. You saved my time.

I will update you soon about web sharing session. Its a great help for me.

But befor that, I have one more similar question , May be very simple for you.

" I have defined a combo box on my user form and have defined 3 names in that. Hence I have 3 elements in List items. (properties window) And I have defined the variable as "w" in properties window to the combo box . I dont know if its correct variable form.

I want to display the defined names on my report, So i gave @@ w@@. But it displays the value of the name say 1, 2 and 3.

How can i define it to display the name on my report??"
