i'm trying to create a RDCL report with the follow requirements:
The datasource is a master business object that also has a child business object.
I want to show some data of the master BO using a List.
I want to show the details of the child BO using a Table.
I do not want to use subreports.
I do not want to flatten my object graph and use grouping
Is this possible?
I am not sure you can achieve what you're looking for. Either you must use subreports or by definition of master-child data you must use grouping.
I know this answer comes on late but this post still shows on search results and it has 1K views.
Hope this helps!

I am new to using the front end tools/VBA in access, but I am an advanced programmer.
I have a situation where I need to record the date, and method of commute, for a particular individual on a monthly basis. What I have done so far is programatically create a form that lists every day of the month and has a blank space next to it for the user to enter in how he commuted. User only has to fill in if he/she clean commuted. The question is, how do I:
1. Select Records that have already been entered for a month and populate them to a line on my form.
2. Show a blank space for a user to enter info on any date that is not associated with a record.
3. Update any records they changed.
4. Append any new records they enter in the blanks.
I need to do this all on one form so it is easy. I cannot ask the users to navigate.
I appreciate any suggestion that might lead me to a solution. Many thanks.
A standard bound form will do that.
Use the wizard to get started and specify your table as the source.
After much testing and working (strange not find examples of this), I have determined the way to do this.
Do not programmatically create the form.
a. Forms in Access are tied so closely to accesses "form binding" functionality that there are to many limitations trying to work with a programmatically created form. It's very difficult to do.
A better solution is to programmatically create a temporary table that has the correct data structure and bind the form to that temp table.
a. thus the only programmatic part of your form is setting the bindings. Once that is done, you can rely on the form binding in Access to work easily with your Select, Update, and Append functions.
I've been trying to get my head around NoSQL, and I do see the benefits to embedding data in documents.
What I can't understand, and hope someone can clear up, is how to store data if it must be relational.
For example.
I have many users. They are all buying a product. So everytime that they buy a product, we add it under the users document in mongo, so its embedded and its all great.
The problem I have is when something in reference to that product changes.
Lets say user A buys a car called "Porsche". Then, we add a reference to that under the users profile. However, in a strange turn of events Porsche gets purchased by Ferrari.
What do you do now, update each and every record and change to name from Porsche to Ferrari?
Typically in SQL, we would create 3 tables. One for users, one for Cars (description, model etc) & one for mapping users to purchases.
Do you do the same thing for Mongo? It seems like if you go down this route, you are trying to make Mongo do things SQL way, which is not what its intended for.
I can understand how certain data is great for embedding (addresses, contact details, comments, etc) but what happens when you need to reference data that can and needs to change at a regular basis?
I hope this question is clear
DBRefs/Manual References were made specifically to solve this issue. Instead of manually adding the data to each document and then needing to update when something changes, you can store a reference to another collection. Here is the mongoDB documentation for details.
References in Mongo
Then all you would need to do is update the reference collection and the change would be reflected in all downstream locations.
When i used the mongoose library for node js it actually creates 3 tables similar to how you might do it in SQL, you can use object id's as foreign keys and enrich them either on the client side or on the backend, still no joining but you could do an 'in' query for the ID's then enrich the objects that way, mongoose can do this automatically by 'populating'
I want to create an on-demand process of some kind in Dynamics CRM 2013 that will run on multiple records of the same type. The process will create an equal number of records of another type, and all will relate to the same parent record. I can imagine how a workflow would be used to create the new child records but I am not sure how I could create the parent record and associate it with the child records.
If you're running on multiple records, then I presume your are starting from a gridview of some sort. If that's the case, then the solution is easy. Just create a custom ribbon button that accepts the selected records as a parameter, and runs a custom javascript. That will accomplish what you need in a nice elegant solution.
Because it's running javascript, you will have full control to be able to do everything you need. One of the features of ribbon buttons, is they can receive the selected records in a parameter as an array.
But if you don't want to do all the work in javascript, you can have the script pass the parameters to a custom Workflow or Action.
As its already been mentioned, a workflow won't be able to do this alone, because it can only run on a single record, and cannot accept multiple records as an input parameter.
Jason I think the point here is to automate the process. Lee you are correct in your assessment that creating the work order with a workflow step is easy to do while creating the child work order items is either difficult or impossible. Even if you managed to hack this together with several workflows triggered by different events during the process the end result would be a UX/maintenance nightmare.
The simplest and best solution is to have piece of plugin logic that you trigger with your workflow. This plugin code would create a new work order and associated work order items based on the context of the service you run the workflow against. If you would like for this action to be triggered by a database operation instead of manually triggered this would be simple to do as well.
You aren't going to be able to do this via a CRM dialog because it can only run against one record. You can accomplish this fairly easily by leveraging existing CRM functionality:
If it doesn't already exist, create a field in your service entity (the Work Order Item) called new_MasterWorkOrder (or something similar) which is link to a Master Work Order entity.
Create your master record - this would be your Overall Work Order.
From your Work Order Item record entry listing, select all the items you want to add to the Master Work Order record created in the previous step. Alternately, you could use an Advanced Find to locate the target records.
Click the Edit button to initiate the CRM bulk/multi-record edit form.
In the new_MasterWorkOrder field, select the Overall Work Order previously created.
Save.
Once the process complete, all of the Work Order Items you selected will now be linked to your Overall Work Order.
It sounds like you might a need a step before this to create a Work Order Item from selected Service entities. You should be able to accomplish this easily by having a workflow which runs takes in a Service entity as a parameter and builds a Work Order Item from it. Once you have these built you can link them to an Overall Work Order using the process above.
Is there a way to merge two data in one row?
I have a gridview, within it, there are products that can be sold as a bundle. If I have it as it is right now, the user can delete one of the product bundle, and still receive a bundle price. That's not good. So how can I merge the two rows into one?
Or is it possible to add a row that indicates that the following two rows are a bundle? See picture, where there's an extra row. My other thoughts are having a cgridview in a cgridview?
My database has a column that indicates whether the product is a bundle or not. Let me know if there are any information needed.
you can also use CListView for custom view and also having filters and sorts.
for creating custom html based on dataproviders, I think it's the best solution, since you only care about the layout and yii provides the data.
You are over complicating things I believe. Why not just create the html yourself? that would be the easiest solution by far.
If you really want to do what you want then you have to extend cgridview and create some rendering yourself.
If you really want to go that route then try to study this http://yiibooster.clevertech.biz/extendedGridView#groupgridview some of the features are almost exactly what you need.
I am unable to join two or three tables with the custom grid app. Is there any other way to acheive the same?
More details would clarify what problem you are trying to solve, but this post has an example of a custom app that builds a grid based on data from two different stores.
One store uses a Task object, the other uses UserIterationCapacity object. Since currently it is not possible to create a Rally.data.WsapiDataStore with more than one model, two WsapiDataStore objects are created in that example. Eventually a custom store Rally.data.custom.Store is created that accesses the fields pulled from the two models, and a grid is built based on the custom store.
