Reporting, Part 13: Introducing Crystal Subreports

One of Crystal Reports’ more powerful features is the ability to include subreports. Put simply, a subreport is a report within a report. With subreports, unrelated (or related) reports can be combined into a single report. You can coordinate data that could not otherwise be linked, or you can present different views of the same data in a single report.   Read More..

              • MelissaBusiness Intelligence Developers I'm curious what others are using for reporting financials. we have been live on lawson since january and the report writer in lawson is great for the style 1 type balance sheet and P&L reports. However, being in healthcare we have a lot of need for slicing and dicing our accouting unit information and building all the calculations and groups etc that have to go into creating it is vedious. and then keeping track of them all in case something change is almost impossible. Crystal reports is a nice laternative, however without writing a fancy sql query with a union we loose data connecting the units talble and budget table becaue both tables can have data the other does not. Our IT team is rather small so i'm trying to find an alternative that the power users in GL can use to write and maintian reports. So i'm curious if anyone else has struggled with reports and what you are using. Thanks.

                    Time To Rename LawsonGuru ?

                    With Lawson S3 and M3 customers adopting integrated Infor products, is it time to expand and rename the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com? I thought it would be fun to ask the community for advice. Here are some ideas: Filed under: Infor, Infor Acquisition

                    Inforum 2013

                    I just returned from Orlando, having attended Inforum 2013. Last year’s Inforum, which quickly followed the acquisition of Lawson by Infor, was really just a combination of Lawson’s annual conference (CUE) with Infor’s name and logo slapped on for good measure. This year was quite a different story. Starting with the fact that I was actually […]

                    Coming Soon to a (Lawson) Support Site Near You!

                    Lawson morphs into Infor, continued.  You might have missed this notification, and I haven’t heard much noise regarding it. But I will share my insight. As a practical matter, this simply means that you will soon be using some different tools when you visit the MyLawson.com support site. But I also see a couple of […]

                    Infor10 Lawson S3

                    I’ve told you before that Lawson’s acquisition by Infor would be interesting. Our first taste of this new combination is Infor10 Lawson S3 (quite a mouthful, isn’t it?). I’ve been attending various product briefings and user groups, perusing the documentation, participating in a lead adopter project, and receiving my usual eyewitness reports and unsubstantiated rumors.  […]

                    Inforum 2012

                    Following the acquisition by Infor, Lawson’s annual conference (CUE) has morphed into Inforum, which was held this past week in Denver. I didn’t attend, but I watched the video feeds of keynotes, read the executive/analyst briefings, and of course received my usual eyewitness reports and unsubstantiated rumors. In addition, I’ve included some article links at […]
