User define cr legend series

[former_member198639]

Hi, sap experts

When we developers deploy our winform application, the end user just have the right to view the report.

They cann't change anything, such as a chart legend series, or the style of a chart.

So, do cr sdk has any open controls to let the end user to do something with the report, more than just view.

Thanks.

Hi hu,

as its a compiled winform app to view the reports, user could only use the features provided by the viewer. You could even limit the viewer function by show / hide proeprties of viewer buttons.

The users could not modify the reports unless they have a Cr designer to edit reports or if they explicitely write RAS SDK code to modify the reports (which is more unliley).

So there are no open controls to modify the report apart from CR designer.

See Cr viewer in winform, we want more options. : View Idea

ohh,.. I see it now.

The viewer is provided with the sole purpose of letting the users view the report who do not have CR designer installed or the users who should not modify the report.

The tasks such as change the style of a chart's color, series shapes fall under report modification for which we have CR designer or we could write code to provide custom options to users using the RAS SDK.

Hi Bhushan,

Some of the line colors or shapes may not suite for the end users' taste.

I think it's necessary to add a functoin to the users.

Hu Po, this will never, ever be implemented into the viewer. If the users require that sort of control, they have three options;

1) Use the CR designer. This will require obtaining a license for each user.

2) Create an app using the InProc RAS SDK that has this functionality built in by using the CR SDK and then deploy the app to the users.

3) Create a number of copies of the report, change the charts. Then have the user's choose which report to run
