Create a report that only contains the selected records

[Adolfo_Enrique_Lobos]

hello everyone, again I need your knowledge !!
I comment on my problem. My app has a screen from where you can view the daily activities of the team.

I need to create a report that only contains the selected records.

Is it possible to do it? Please, can you guide me to make this report?

Thanks a lot!

Yes !
Create a slice based on your Table ACTIVITIES, with row condition : [AREA] (just that, because it’s a Yes/No type)
Then make your report on it

Thanks for the help! Regarding [AREA, it is not of type YES / NO.
Anyway, could you share an example with me to be able to replicate the case that I have raised?

Thanks a lot!

My mistake, I did not notice you where on a “delete mode” on your screenshot.

I think it could be interesting to add a “printReport” column, that you set as a first column on your view.
Then, on the same view, set this one as a “quick edit” column.

Here is a video explaining, step by step, how to do that:

(I made an error at interrupting too soon)
Here is the result:

Just to summarize, the main steps are:

• add a Yes/No column “Print Report” column on your main table
• create a BUTTON table with a yes/no column
• create dashboard with your button view and the report view
  (this report view view should have the Yes/No column as a 1st column, I use a slice for it in order to avoid any mistake from users)
• allow quick edit on report view
• create a classic ON/OFF/Grouped action for firing report, based on BUTTON table
• create Workflow based on BUTTON updpate
• use the Report section to generate a PDF template for your report
• copy/paste reference to your template, into the workflow

I made a few change to preserve some sensitive datas and set it in the portfolio as PF_PrintReport, so that you can look under the hood

Let me know if that helps

Print selected record with its childs

I just quickly created a sample app to share my idea to set up Apps to manage Select the name of countries (enumlist) Fire the email workflow to generate the tables / list of “selected” countries alone together with each child records associated with each country. The approach is different from one which have been discussed earlier on this thread, but let the user to select the country through the FORM (rather than select ones over the Deck view and trigger the bulk actions), and then saving …

thank you very much @tsuji_koichi, surely the solution is genenial, but unfortunately I can’t see under the hood. Apparently in order to see your example, I have to make a payment. Is it really this way?
Again thank you very much…
