Landartma Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I went to do some reports and the menu looks different. Did the layout change for 2022? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Yes. There was a major overhaul to the operator interface for VW2022. Quote Link to comment
Landartma Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Did VW give an explanation of how the new interface works? Been looking can't seem to pin it down. Quote Link to comment
Landartma Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Still looking for an explanation of how the new interface works. Quote Link to comment
Landartma Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 In particular the advanced criteria. I just want Latin name common, name, quantity, price, extended price on my plants the report comes up blank. It never did prior to the 2022 overhaul. Preformatted come up populated but with a bunch of data I don't want or need then I need to export it and delete all the extraneous data. Feedback to the VW development team. Please focus on stuff the community has been shouting out for. Landscape walls is one. I'd happily spend my time and money on learning new and improved design features but having to dedicate time and money to relearning how to make a report is a waste for my business.

Landartma Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 Here is what I'm doing. My expectation would be that the list would populate. I'm sure its just a setting but prior to the "2022 Upgrade" it functioned as expected. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The criteria tells the worksheet what objects you want it to search for in the document. In your screenshots you are asking it to search for 2D Loci. You need to change this so it's searching for Plant objects instead and/or specify the relevant layer/class the Plants in question are on/in. Or set it to 'all objects' first then narrow it down later if necessary. The 'Columns' pane is where you specify what info you want the database to report on. You have the Plant Record selected which is correct: you just need to choose the parameters you to report on in the left hand 'Possible columns' list then click the 'add' button to transfer them to the list on the right hand side which displays the columns that will be in your report. In 2022 the only thing that's changed in all this is the advanced criteria dialog, which might not even be relevant in your case if you're reporting on all the plants in the file. 2 Quote Link to comment
Landartma Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Cool thanks for the clarification. I will give it a shot. I never know why a function works one day and settings seem to change. I could be an unwitting move on my part but is it possible that with updates settings get modified. Quote Link to comment
