Is any way to customize the reports? Specially I would like to change language.

Hi Maciej,

Customization of the Report templates is not supported, but it can be done in one of 2 ways.
1) Using a text editor, like Notepad, you can open the .rpt files in your Stardraw Design 7.3 installation file and change, for example, headings and labels which can be identified as <Text></Text> tags.
2) Download the Reports Author application here.  Unfortunately we cannot provide support for the Reports Author which is a freely distributable third party application.

If you do make changes to a Report template, be sure to save it with a new filename, otherwise it will be overwritten by the Stardraw Design 7.3 Updater.

I hope this is helpful.

Thank You,

First I tried to modify rpt files. It almost works, but I'm not able to use polish diacritic characters.

Hi Maciej,

Although we can't support customization of this type, I suggest that you make sure that the text editor supports, for example, Unicode if you want to display special characters that are not supported in ANSI encoding.

In Notepad2, for example, choose File | Encoding | Unicode and the text file will support and display diacritic characters entered directly or copied from another source.

Hi Rob,
Are you able to give a list of fields from the database that can be used inside the report?

Hi Maciej,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Reports can use any Attribute stored in a ProductInstance; simply use the name of the Attribute e.g. "[Cost Price]"

The project-level fields - the ones shown in the Dashboard | Project Details view - accessible to reports are:

Project Information Section
Project Title            ProjectTitle
Reference              ProjectReference
Address                 ProjectAddress
Start Date              ProjectStartDate
Completion Date    ProjectCompletionDate
    
Client Information Section
Name       ClientName
Address    ClientAddress
    
Main Contact Section
Name     MainContactName
Phone    MainContactPhone
Email     MainContactEmail
    
Billing Contact Section
Name     BillingContactName
Phone    BillingContactPhone
Email     BillingContactEmail
    
Author Details Section
Name          UserDetails.Name
Job Title      UserDetails.Title
Company    UserDetails.CompanyName
Address      UserDetails.Address
Phone         UserDetails.Phone
Email          UserDetails.Email
Website      UserDetails.Website
    
Notes Section    
Notes    ProjectNotes

I hope this is helpful.
