*Subject: * Re: [Openerp-community] tests/feedbacks for the new reporting
To all,
We are looking for feedback on the reports themselves because we
rewrote most reports: sales order, invoices, delivery orders, ... but
also: balance sheet, aged trial balance, P&L, pricelist print,...
Feedback on the report designer is less interesting as this system is
designed to be used by partners through the HTML Editor or through
code in their modules. What's really important is to test if all
reports of OpenERP are still working like in v7.
We had to rewrote the code of 70 reports, that's why it's important
to test. We are not sure we did not integrated a regression.
Thanks,
Fabien

Joel,
* When I edit a report, I edit both the template and the
current SO (e.g. SO00007). I don't know which of my
modifications will appear on all reports and which will only
apply on my current editing SO.
That is a problem. Wee need to know which part we're editing
: the template of all SO, or only this SO ?! In term of right
management as well, I want my salesman to print good SO for
my customer, but I don't want them to change my template
layout...
The goal of this branch is certainly not to have salesman to edit
reports in OpenERP. It's an alternative to RML, Office Report
Designer, Jasper Report, Webkit reports, ... It's more for
partners to quickly create or customize reports like sales order,
invoices, delivery orders, ... They can use the edit inline
feature, but they will certainly use the HTML Editor feature from
the Customize menu.
Having said that, the system is so simple and powerful that it
actually works for salesman to edit reports too:
- it follows access rights: the salesman will not be able to
change the design of a report, only products related fields (it
can be improved in a way so that zone are not even accessible,
currently the check is at the save only)
- it shows a yellow border when you edit a record, no yellow
border when you edit the design of the sale order
I don't know how, but I strongly suggest :
* to have various level of editing possibility related to the
user's right: an admin will be able to edit the template
where a salesman will only edit the current SO
* to have a visual way to identify what belong to the
template and what belong to the current report while editing
* If it is not possible, better to ensure all the
modification are only for the current report to save headache
to people ;)
Keep up the good work !
Regards,
Joël

Hello everyone,
I'm working on the reporting part of OpenERP and i need
your help. I'm now at a development phase where mass
testing of this feature can be (really) appreciable.
Big idea is that the reports are now complete webpages,
so they are customizable using html code. Inside your
html code, you can use a simple 'magic' syntax to display
fields of a browse record, etc. I encourage you to check
the sale order report for a speaking sample.
The first thing you'll see when testing the sale order is
a pdf result. How can you modify it ? by displaying the
html version of this report. Two way of doing this:
1) activate the technical feature and go to settings >
reportings > reports > search for sale.order and replace
report's type from 'qweb-pdf' to 'qweb-html'.
2) just edit the url from
/report/pdf/report/sale.report_saleorder/7 to
/report/sale.report_saleorder/7
I think you now get the idea : qweb-pdf is the printed
qweb-html.
To customize the pdf result you can set paperformat
records in settings>technical>reporting>Paper Format and
set one by default on your company and/or explicitely
associate a report to a paper format. You can define dpi,
margin-top etc on them.
Known issues:
Header and footer of the resulting pdf: you have to
define your header in a <reportheader> tag and footer in
a <reportfooter> one. But the secund thing to define is
the margin of your header ; if you put text or image too
big to be displayed under this margin, then you will have
some hidden text or even a crash of the pdf engine.
Beware that if you use the internal/external layouts that
i have set, there is a data-report-margin-top attribute
on the html root tag that is prioritized over the
margin-top set in paperformat. So it is this margin-top
that you must edit!
Notes:
- Branch is named 'trunk-qweb-report' and is available at
http://runbot.openerp.com/.
today's branch is
http://trunk-qweb-report-28555-all.runbot.openerp.com/
- 'website' module is mandatory to dislay the reports.
So, either you use 'all addons' when connecting to the
branch on runbot or you install 'website' module on
base-install.
- It's not possible to directly access the xml code of
views (webpages) from the reporting > reports menu. If
you want to edit it, just use the html view of the page.
To access the views: technical > user interface > views.
I'm sure you all know that the report engine is a tricky
part of any software, so please be patient as it's likely
to be buggy at start.
That's also why your help and feedback are appreciated.
Feedbacks can contain:
- traceback (critic issue)
- no traceback but the datas shown are wrong (critic issue)
- ugly reports/ulgy html code
- ideas to simplify this module
- wanted new features or comments
Thanks in advance,
Simon
