Managing lots of reports

[Andrew Robinson]

Our system now has about 30 reports and the way I manage them is by haveing a layout with buttons on it that run those reports. I need to simplify it and its really hard to keep it looking neat and tidy. Ideally I could create a table which I could name each report and give a description and when the user clicks on a button it runs the relevant script. Anyone got any ideas?

Use a drop down value list with named of reports. Or use conditional value lists to give them a filtering process.

Create a table for the report names and description; you can still produce a value list of names, but this gives you more options, e.g. if the reports are all similar, you could write one script, store the script parameter(s) with the report records and simply pass the parameters from the selected report name/record.
