You are here: 1. Distribution System > 1.9. REPORTS Menu > 1.9.2. Reports - Report Generator > 1.9.2.8. Report Generator - Options Menu > Options - Default File Naming
Options - Default File Naming

To set default file naming for the report:

  1. Create a new report or load an existing one.

Refer to "Creating a New Report", "Using the Report Wizard" or "Loading an Existing Report".

Micronet displays the Report Generator screen.

  1. Select OPTIONS | DEFAULT FILE NAMING.

Micronet displays the Enter Default Filename screen.

  1. Complete the following fields:

 

Field

Value

 

Filename

Enter the path and default filename that this report will be saved to.

You enter the fields that you want included in the default filename in the order you want them displayed, e.g. %2 - %1.pdf. In this filename:

  • %2 matches Field 2 lower down on the screen
  • %1 matches Field 1.

For example, if you want the filename to be (Company name) - Invoice - (Customer Name) - (Invoice Number), you would select DIH_INVNO in Field 1 and DIH_DBTNO in Field 2.

You can select any of the fields in the drop down lists, as well as %D for Date, %R for Report Name, etc.

If you enter ‘TODAY’ as the filename, Micronet will write the PDF with a report/filename containing today’s date.

 

Use when printing

This field is used to create a printer output file instead of sending to the printer. It should never be set to Yes.

This field has been removed in Micronet 2.8.

 

Overwrite Existing File

Select Yes if you want to automatically overwrite any existing file with that filename, or No if you don't.

 

Ask when saving to file

Select whether you want users to be prompted when saving the report to a file.

 

Don't Convert Filename to uppercase

Select Yes if you don't want the filename to be converted to upper case (i.e. if the filename should be in lower case).

 

Field 1 - Field 5

Select the actual fields that you want included in the default filename, e.g. DIH_DBTNO. You must have a corresponding entry in the Filename field, e.g. %1 for Field 1, %2 for Field 2, etc.
  1. Select the Accept button.

Micronet redisplays the Report Generator screen.
