This may sound like a dumb question, but how do I create a where used report. I can view the where used structure oon the screen, but I need it in a report (pdf/printout).RobMcAveney - Tuesday, August 7, 2007 1:01 PM:
Hi Doug, and welcome to the forums. There is not currently a printable view of the "generic" where-used, mostly because it could only give very limited information (i.e. only properties that are shared by all items, like type and keyed_name). I have seen a number of custom where-used reports that give more info, but they are normally specific to certain types of items, like Parts. I can probably provide an example if you can give me more detail on what you're looking for.

Rob

Hi.
It easy to create Client report (output is html, may be displayed and printed by the browser) using standard "where used" functionality.
Set Type=Item, Location=Client and use the query: <Item type="{@type}" id="{@id}" action="getItemWhereUsed"/> for the report.
Then create your own stylesheet to transform the aml response into html.
Hope it helps.
