DataEntryForm.CreateByReport

Syntax

CreateByReport(report: IPrxReport);

Parameters

report. Regular report linked to data entry form.

Description

The CreateByReport constructor creates an instance of data entry form based on the regular report, which is linked with the data entry form.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a standard cube with the STD_CUBE identifier. Cube dimensions are based on dictionaries with the DICT_FIRMS, DICT_INDICATORS and CALENDAR indicators. It is also required to be a data entry form, for which the specified macro is set as an executable method for a custom button.

Add links to the Dimensions, Metabase, Report system assemblies. Add links to the assemblies required for working with data entry forms.

After the macro is executed, a new sheet is created in the data entry form. The following is executed on the sheet: a table area is created, a data source and dimensions are added, three indicators are created. Location of dimensions is set up in the indicators and in the table area.
