I appologize in advance for what seems to be a puerile question. I am fairly new to datapage and there may be a really simple answer for my questions. I like all of the control that is available in PCDmis for report templates. It is, however, only good for the current run. What if some chucklehead in the front office asks me two months from now for a particular report on a part that shipped to the customer three weeks ago? I have all the relavent data stored in datapage, but am I limited to the canned reports available in datapage? Can I reverse the process and load data from datapage back into PCDmis? Does Datapage have a report editor similar to PCDmis? Can I load the report templates that I have created in PCDmis? Is there an option that I haven't considered?
Sending the report to a pdf is the way that we are able to recall our past in process layouts.
The new DATAPAGE + will allow templates to be used in a similar fashion as PC-DMIS 4.0 and above does. The templates appear to be more user friendly than the PC-DMIS ones also so that is a plus. O would be careful with the new DATAPAGE + though, it is still in its' infancy and has many undocumented enhancements.
