Past Employee Roster

Configuring the Report Control for Past Employee Roster - CSM1001

The Past Employee Roster - CSM1001 report lists the roster of past employees sorted by the groups that they belong to. This is useful to a group manager if he/she needs to know if someone used to work for a group. Group managers will NOT be able to edit, place orders, etc. for this record. The primary purpose of this report is to validate past employment. There are parameters within the report that allows a group manager to specify the date range to be used for the report; the report will select all employees who were employed at least one day during that specified time period. The report will only select former employees. In addition, there is another parameter that allows the group manager to specify whether all employees should be included or just the managers.

Control Settings

The section below details how to set up the Report control to display the Past Employee Roster - CSM1001 report on your website. The instructions are intended for a user with web admin/host privileges.

This report must be deployed in the BusinessObjects server before group managers are able to run this report on the web. See BusinessObjects Installation for more information. In addition, this control uses the service operation "GetOnlineReportGenerateURL" from data services. The control uses this URL, which connects to the BusinessObjects server, to open or render the report in the current page in the form of PDF. Through the service operation "GetOnlineReportGenerateURL", data services generate the URL. See Personify Data Services for more information.

You MUST have a proper named user license in order to be able to view the report(s) online.

For every Crystal or Webi-PDF report that you want a group manager to be able to run, you will have to create a new page, and configure the Report control for the report you want to run on that page. For example, if you want a logged in web user to be able to run five different reports on your website, you will have to create five different pages and configure the control five different times on each page. As a best practice, create a landing page that contains links to the separate pages that contain the different reports, as shown below. If you are using DNN, you can use the Links Module. See Configuring the Links Module for more information. The only exception to this is for Webi-HTML reports, which open right on the page (i.e., Analysis of Chapter Member Health).

To configure the web settings for the Report control:

1. Add the "PersonifyBoReport" control to the desired page. For more information, please see Adding a Page on Your Site Using DNN.
The Control Settings for this control display, as shown below.

Text fields have a 250 character limit.

2. If necessary, in the Additional CSS Class for Control field, enter the CSS class.
This option allows you to add additional layout to the skin by developing a new DOTNETNUKE style, which requires an advanced understanding of HTML and CSS. See Applying a Default Site Container for information.

3. If necessary, select or create a new Error Message.
The error message will display on the control for the action that was being performed at the time of the error.

a. If left blank, the default error message, "An error occurred while performing [Insert Action]. If the problem persists, please contact the site administrator", will display. [Insert Action] will be substituted with the action the control was performing at the time of the error.

b. If you wish to change the default error message, customize it with a PWF Parameter. See Setting up PWF Parameters to learn more about these parameters and why your website's redirect URLs are managed there.
