about report 720: Item/Vendor Catalog

When I run the report 720, it only show the property page “item” for input the filter conditions,but it doesn’t show the property page of the second dataitem “item vendor”. I want to input some filter conditions in it. I want to show it. In general, both of them will show when opening report. Opening the report designer, I am not sure how to modify it and show the property page. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

The tab does not show because the property tableview is defined for the dataitem and no ReqFilterFields are defined. In your case I would define one or more ReqFilterFields for the dataitem Item Vendor. Setting the TableView makes the tab of a dataitem disappear unless specific ReqFilterFields are defined. Generally speaking, many reports do not show certain of their dataitems in the request form on purpose. The reason is, that more complex calculations are done with the data of those dataitems and manual filter setting might produce unwanted results. Always check the code of an existing report to make sure the giving filter options to the user makes sense for all possible combinations of filters. In case of report 720 there should not be any problems, as far as I can see on a quick glance into the report. Make sure to introduce some code to show the additional filter settings in the header of the report so that the user knows under which conditions the report was run.

It works. Thank you very much!Beaver. Your suggestion is helpful for me.
