Sage 200 2010, released end June 2010, introduces a new report designer.
We will be hosting some webinar sessions during summer 2010 to introduce you to this new designer plus some of the other new features in 2010. If you would like to attend one of these webinar sessions then please email
jenny.evans@gccinnova.co.ukSome of the new features of the designer are:
Reporting Layer & Extensions
A layer between the report writer and the database tables which pre-links the tables allowing easier understanding of the underlying database and where to get your data from. You can also add other tables (from other databases if required) through a graphical link area.
Sub Reports & Drill Down Reports
You can now embed sub reports into another report or launch another report from within a report.
Cleaner Excel Export
Define what can be exported to excel for a cleaner download into excel.
Calculations on Calculations
Your formulae can now include the results of other formulae without copying the entire formula over into your new field. You can also save your frequently used calculations as “snippets” to reuse later
Cherry Pick Criteria (Filters)
You can add additional criteria (filters) and they can also allow you to cherry pick the items you want at run time, for example, a stock report that includes groups 1, 2, 5 and 7 but not 3, 4 and 6
Amend the Design in Preview
You can fine tune the layout of the report when looking at the report after it has run, so you can immediately see the impact of moving fields into the correct places.
Other Stuff
Spellchecker, copying text in from other programs / reports, resort groups without deletions being necessary and easier field alignment. Join one of our webinars for a walk through of some of these features or get in touch if you are interested in Sage 200 2010.
