Problem with inherited report

thierry

Hello,

I have many problems with inherited report.

I created a report with parameters and totals.
Then, I created a report inheriting from this last one. When I save this report, parameters and totals are doubled.

Also, I moved some text objects in this inherited report. When I preview it and I close the preview window, two of these components, situated in the upper left corner, changed location.

Hello,

It's by design limitations. I've stated in the user's manual:

wrote:

The report inheritance was designed to meet the following goal: save common report elements such as headers and footers in separate files, and reuse them in inherited reports. Do not try to use the inheritance to perform more complex tasks. In particular, avoid to do the following:

?· do not inherit the report from the inherited one (i.e. do not inherit twice);
?· do not use complex objects such as Table and Matrix, in the base report;
?· do not use script in the base report;
?· do not use parameters in the base report.
