Run Report

Custom queries can be printed from the Run Report button in Lasernet > Common > Reports > Setup > Run report.

The dialog that is triggered when using Run Report can be configured in Dialog Setup found in Lasernet > Common > Reports > Setup > Dialog Setup.

The report can be run as a regular job or as a batch job.

Regular Job

To run the report as a regular job, select Run Report and ensure the Batch processing option is set to No in the Run in Background FastTab.

The dialog's Parameters are all those that have the Show functionality enabled on the Dialog Setup > Parameters FastTab. These can include custom parameters created in the dialog setup.

The Change button in the Destination FastTab can be used to define the printer settings used for the report. You can print to screen or various other Lasernet destinations such as a printer, email, fax, etc.

If you want to define a selection of data, you can do so by clicking the Filter button in the Records to include section. Here, you can define a query using specific tables and defined ranges, as well as sorting criteria. It is possible to add and remove Criteria used within the report as well as modify the tables in use.

Setting the Show system names toggle button to Yes shows the system names for the table and field names in the lookup.

Batch Job

You can run a report as a batch job. Once you are done with specifying settings within the Parameters, Records to include, and Destination sections, expand the Run in the background section. Here, you can find settings for batch processing.

1. Set the Batch processing toggle button to the Yes status.

2. Define a batch group to use for running the report. You can also define recurrence and monitoring settings.
