8.3 Upgrading existing reports to include ProjectID
From ShipWeight version 7.5 and onwards, any number of projects can be
stored on the same project database. To identify which project the data
belongs to, every table in the project databases now have a ProjectID-field.
Crystal Reports created for ShipWeight versions prior to version 7.5 does not
take the ProjectID into account. Therefore data from all projects on the same
project database are reported.
To correct this, the data listed in the report must be filtered to include data
from the current project only. In order to accomplish this for an existing report,
there are three steps to follow:
Refreshing the Datasource
Creating a Record Selection formula
Change Subreport links
8.3.1 Replace Datasource
When you open an existing pre-ShipWeight 7.5 report in the Crystal Report
designer and expand the Database Fields in the Field Explorer, you will notice
that the ProjectID field is missing. To be able to create a Record Selection
formula based on project ID, the ProjectID-field must be present in the
Database Fields list.
To achieve this, the Datasource must be replaced with an updated database.
On the database menu, select ‘Set Datasource Location’.
