CR_tips5_Available_on_reserve Ever wanted to try to run Crystal Reports from an Excel file? I have imported from Spydus' Instant Report "Items available for allocation" this file into Excel and with Crystal Report changed the layout and sorted the fields to make it easy to check the collections/shelves. By using the same Excel file name and saving it in the same folder and following a few steps, Crystal Reports can find this data and updates the screen automatically after the Ok to update prompt.

CR_tips1

A mixture of tips for using Spydus fields in Crystal reports such as creating initials from the First name field, create age groups, formulas and how to exclude deleted records from your select list.

Issues_by_branch_by_collection_for_fin_year_-_not_renewals

Issues for financial year by branch by collection. Not including renewals - just remove that part of the select statement to count all issues.

To change the breakdown to just by collection or just by branch, delete one of those cells from the table and it will recalculate the table without that sort criteria.

A very simples report - what could possibly go wrong?

Crystal Templates

These are template files which can be used as the basis for your own reports. The key links between tables are already established allowing you to report on the data you need.
The reports were written under Crystal Reports 2008 and tested against an 851 environment.

You must of course change Set Datasource Location before running these reports. All templates prompt for Institution allowing them to be used in a consortia environment. The loans and reservations (holds) templates also prompt for date ranges in order to limit the volume of data returned.

Please note: The Borrowers (XXX_BORROWERS).rpt is specifically designed for SELMS customers in the UK and even then it cannot be used without amendment. Through Database Expert the SELMS user must replace the KJO_BORROWERS table with their own unique table in the SpydusREP database. All links must therefore be re-established.
