DataPage+ Saved Reports

It's probably not worth asking this, since Hexagon never gave a crap about DataPage anyways, but...

Why do my saved reports not stay saved as the report that I created? Randomly(?) the saved reports lose the label order, and when the report is applied, the labels on the first page are labels that should be on a later page, and the labels that should be on the first page are somewhere in the middle. What's the point of a saved report if you actually have to recreate it 50% of the time?

  • Hi ,

    I've been poking around and my saved reports are behaving well. Could I bug you for some extra detail to scope my testing;

    - Is this CAD / Text / Chart (or any)?
    - Is it a specific type of label (i.e. a run chart) that is getting lost or losing position?
    - Does it happen with the same user creating as recalling?
    - Is it losing the styling in datapage, or only in the exported report delivery service?


    Sorry about the questions - I know you said this was a bit random so I expect there isn't a simple answer we can just go fix. If I can get the problem duplicated, it'll be much easier to track down though.


    and , how dare you! I could fill the NSA's "metadata" servers with corrupt (unopenable) datapage RT databases. I don't miss those days at all.


    This is in reference to CAD reports (The variable set doesn't change. The saved report settings don't appear to change)
    Custom labels for dimension variables.
    I do have multiple users creating and recalling, and there is some "cross-contamination" there, but I'm not sure of the scope of the effect.
    The report still has the CAD orientations on each page, but the labels switch pages, and get mixed up. And it prints the same.

    While I have your attention, why do the label leader line colors change on saved reports if the Part Settings are changed, but the color scale at the bottom doesn't update? And why can I not set default colors for new entries? Honestly, my list of gripes with DataPage is pretty long, but I'll stop there for now... Rolling eyes
