Reporting

 

Introduction

 
Reporting in SysAid is a tricky art, not easily mastered, it certainly took me a while, but here to help you along is a summary of some good threads on the topic:

Report customization is only possible in SysAid full edition with the manager portal.
Reports customization requires some programming skills and you can find most the needed information on how to do it in the manager portal guide which can be found at:http://ilient.com/down/manager_portal.pdf 

Ilient can also customize the report for you as a custom development project.
For more information, please contact helpdesk@ilient.com with your request and they will provide you with all the information on this option.

Debugging Tips
 
When trying to debug reports you need to look at the sysaid.log file to find the real errors.

 2008-11-03 13:17:30,959 [Thread-5] ERROR com.ilient - Exception while trying to compile report codeorg.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup. This is related to the bug with the angle brackets being interpreted as html (see known issues above for the answer) http://www.ilient.com/Sysforums/posts/list/989.page 
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Attribute value "Your Report Name" of type NMTOKEN must be a name token. When creating a report Jasper Reports do not put spaces in the report name. TO fix this just remove the spaces in the jrxml file.
