Custom Folders and Reports

Custom folders can be created using the following API.

SDK::setReportFolder($name, $description);

$name : the name of the folder
$description : the description of the folder

The created folder will be on the reports page. It will be visible to all users and cannot be changed. The name and description can be translated with the translation API.

Folders created via API can be deleted with:

SDK::unsetReportFolder($name, $delreports = true);

$name : the name of the folder to be deleted
$delreports : if true it also deletes all reports (created via API) in that folder (files are not deleted)

Inside the folders you can insert customized reports with the following statement:

SDK::setReport($name, $description, $foldername, $reportrun, $class, $jsfunction = '');

$name : the name of the report (it can be translated via API)
$description : the description of the report (it can be translated via API)
$foldername : the name of the folder created via API where to insert the report
$reportrun : the path of the php file that contains the class that generates the report
$class : the name of the class that handles the report
$jsfunction : the name of the javascript function to run when the "Generate Report" button is pressed

The report created via API can be deleted with:

SDK::unsetReport($name);

$name : the name of the report to delete (files are not deleted)

The class specified in $class must follow the following structure:

<?php
require_once('modules/Reports/ReportRun.php');

The javascript function specified in $jsfunction must already be declared and return a string to be added to the request.

function preRunReport(id) {
	var params = "";
	var select = getObj('picklist1’);

	if (select) {
		params += "&picklist1="+select.options[select.selectedIndex].value;
	}

	var selectuser = getObj('picklist2’);
	if (selectuser) {
		params += "&picklist2="+selectuser.options[selectuser.selectedIndex].value;
	}

	return params;
}

When updating a VTE to version 16.09 (or later), some features of the customized reports must be verified.

One of the changed parts is the management of time filters, which previously could be modified by extending the getPrimaryStdFilterHTML and getSecondaryStdFilterHTML methods. To obtain the same result, you need to extend the getStdFilterFields function which returns an array of available fields, for example:

<?php
function getStdFilterFields() {
	// See the method Reports::getStdFilterFields for the standard implementation
	
	// this example just loads standard fields for the Potential module
	$list = $this->reports->getStdFiltersFieldsListForChain(0, array('Potentials'));
	
	return $list;
}

When the report is generated the variable $this->stdfilters contains the time filter to be used. If the report query is completely customized, the generation of the time filter must also be managed manually, for example using a method like this:

<?php
function addStdFilters() {
	global $current_user;
	$sql = '';
	
	if (is_array($this->stdfilters)) {
		foreach ($this->stdfilters as $flt) {
			if ($flt['fieldid'] > 0) {
				// get field informations
				$finfo = $this->getFieldInfoById($flt['fieldid']);
				$table = $finfo['tablename'];
				$qgen = QueryGenerator::getInstance($finfo['module'], $current_user);
				$operator = 'BETWEEN';
				if ($flt['value'] == 'custom') {
					$value = array($flt['startdate'], $flt['enddate']);
				} else {
					$cv = CRMEntity::getInstance('CustomView');
					$value = $cv->getDateforStdFilterBytype($flt['value']);
				}
				// adjust for timezone
				$value[0] = $this->fixDateTimeValue(
					$qgen, $finfo['fieldname'], $value[0]
				);
				$value[1] = $this→fixDateTimeValue(
					$qgen, $finfo['fieldname'], $value[1], false
				);
				// add the condition
				$sql .= ' AND '.$table.'.'.$finfo['columnname'].' '.
					$operator.' '.$value[0].' AND '.$value[1];
			}
		}
	}
	
	return $sql;
}
