Reports

I use Report Groups to keep all my reports organized by the departments in my business.  This helps me send reports to those departments that need only specific reports.  And it helps keep my reports organized so I don't spend time searching for a specific report.

For example, I created report groups for each of these departments... Purchasing, Assembly, Shipping, Staging, Customer Service, Milling, Door Department, Estimating, and Engineering.  

In this video I share some of my most commonly used Combit functions along with brief explanations of why I use them or why you might care to.

Thanks to one of the attendees asking questions during the stream we ended up working through a somewhat interesting and fun exercise extracting information about a material's thickness (0750) from a string, converting it to a fraction with 1/16" precision, and replacing the original abbreviated material name with one a little easier to understand if you aren't in our industry.

The Cabinet Vision Report Center is extremely powerful but many (myself included) find it very challenging to learn. In this video we focus on the "design" aspect of building reports and review some of the strengths and potential caveats that go with it.

In this episode, we go back to Crystal Reports. It's been 10 episodes, but we will be using our Report Template, that we created, to create a cabinet list report that will give us some basic details on the number of cabinets in a room.

We introduce the basics of CABINET VISION Reports in Version 11

In this video, I go over how to separate out the door totals from the door types on the Door List w/Profiles (DLP002).

In this video, I give a quick rundown on how to join the records in a door list so that pair doors with dissimilar hinging (Left and Right) will be joined together into a single item (this can join a whole bunch of pair doors that have the same size)

In this video we go over how to create a larger space on the first page of a Combit List & Label report while leaving the rest of the pages with a predefined margin all around.

In this report, we will create a custom report that will group by material, then by banding code, and then display results. It's for Adj. Shelves only, but the principles work for all parts.

In this video, we go over creating a custom material filter that can be dynamically selected at report runtime
