Setup: Reports: Building a script to install a new Report

Procedure:

1. Start with the following statement:

   execute procedure AddReport 'TreeName', 'FolderName', '', 'Report Name', RankInFolder, 'LaborMetrix, Inc.', 'FileName.rpt', 'F', 'PAYROLLMANAGER';

   
    
2. Change 'TreeName' to the name of the Report tree this report belongs in - either 'Default' or 'Custom'.
    
3. Change 'FolderName' to the name of the Folder this report belongs in.
    
4. If the report needs to call a stored procedure, insert that procedure's name in the empty single quotes.
    
5. Change 'Report Name' to the name of the report as you wish it to be listed in the report tree. Note that each report name must be unique.
    
6. RankInFolder represents the report's position in the folder. You must specify a whole number (without quotes).
   • If you want the report to be first, specify 1; to be second, specify 2; etc.
   • to be last, specify 0 or any number higher than the number of reports in the folder.
      
7. If appropriate, change 'LaborMetrix, Inc.' to the report provider's name.
    
8. Change 'FileName.rpt' to the report's actual file name.
    
9. If the report is a standard report, change 'F' to 'T'.
    
10. If the report is to be accessible by users having a different user role than 'PAYROLLMANAGER', replace that text with the proper role name.
