I am looking at the Quick Report Editor in v18 for the firs time. It looks a
lot less daunting for the end user which is a good thing. I have a couple of
questions…
4D v18.1 LTS
Mac High Sierra
1. When I click the Sort popup in the popup associated with a column
header I get a color list just as if I had click the color bucket next to it.
2. If you double click the grand total row in a column a control wheel
pops up just above the field’s upper left corner, click the control wheel and a
list of grand total options pops up. Select an option like Sum and nothing
happens. If you Select Sum from the format control wheel in the lower right
corner of the field you get the Sum icon. If you click this control wheel now
in the upper left corner the Sum icon converts to ##s and is highlighted. Click
the control wheel and select a different option like Average, nothing changes
in the field.
3. If I execute with HTML selected as the destination, I get a blank
file. The docs says it will use “the default HTML template” and if I click
Options and view I can see the default template. I selected the Default check
box and I still get a blank file.
So far I have only looked at list reports.
Perhaps these are bugs that have already been reported. The sorting
problem severely reduces the usability of the new Quick Report Editor as you
can not establish sub totals without being able to set the sorts.
