How these modules function:

Dynamic Reports 2

Open=report_name

If the name of the report you are opening contains a space, you should add it as
Open="report_name"

This parameter specifies the name of the report you want to open. The report name you specify must be available for the type of report that is specified by the OpenType= parameter. Each time you start this shortcut, the program will open the report you specify.

If you want this shortcut to process multiple reports, use the OpenList= parameter (below) instead of the Open= parameter.

OpenList=filename

If the file path or file name you specify contains a space, you should add it as
OpenList="filename"

This parameter specifies the name of a text file that lists which Dynamic Reports to open.

Each line of this text file must contain the Open= parameter above to specify one dynamic report to open. Each line of this text file can also include parameters to print, export, or email a dynamic report and/or the Prompt parameter below. Reports are automatically closed when finished.

For more details, see the example below.

Prompt

Prompts the user to View report with Changes, equivalent to selecting the report and clicking the Edit/View button.

Legacy Dynamic Reports

OpenType=number

This parameter specifies the type of report to open. Valid options for the number include:

number

type of report

0

SPC

1

DMS

2

Advanced

3

Mixed

If you use this parameter to specify the type of report to open, you should also use the Open= parameter to specify the name of the report you want to open. Each time you start this shortcut, the program will open the report you specify.

If you want this shortcut to process multiple reports, use the OpenList= parameter (below) instead of the OpenType= and Open= parameters.

Open=report_name

If the name of the report you are opening contains a space, you should add it as
Open="report_name"

This parameter specifies the name of the report you want to open. The report name you specify must be available for the type of report that is specified by the OpenType= parameter. Each time you start this shortcut, the program will open the report you specify.

If you want this shortcut to process multiple reports, use the OpenList= parameter instead of the OpenType= and Open= parameters.

OpenList=filename

If the file path or file name you specify contains a space, you should add it as
OpenList="filename"

This parameter specifies the name of a text file that lists which Legacy Dynamic Reports to open.

Each line of this text file must contain the OpenType= and Open= parameters above to specify one dynamic report to open. Each line of this text file can also include parameters to print, export, or email a dynamic report.

For more details, see the example below.

Creating a .txt file for the OpenList= parameter

The OpenList="Filename" parameter specifies the full path and the name of a .txt file you create using a .txt editor, such as NotePad.

The .txt file lists which report names GainSeeker is to open, and any optional actions you want GainSeeker to execute for any of the reports.

Each line of this text file must contain the Open= parameter (Dynamic Reports 2) or the OpenType= and Open= parameters to specify one dynamic report to open. Each line of this text file can also include parameters to print or export a dynamic report (below).

Here is an example of text file contents to open and export multiple reports in Dynamic Reports 2:

Open="Enterprise OEE" ExportType=Printer

Open="Pack 1-3" Export="c:\temp\pack1-3.htm" view

Open="Package weights" Export="c:\temp\pkg_wt.htm"

The first line of this text file would open the report titled "Enterprise OEE", send it to the printer, and then close the report.

The second line of this text file would open the report titled "Pack 1-3", export it to the specified html file, open the html file in the default browser, and then close the report (in Dynamic Reports 2).

The third line of this text file would open the report titled "Package weights", export it to the specified html file, and then close the report.

If you want GainSeeker to close the Dynamic Reports 2 module after the last file has been exported, add the Close parameter to the original shortcut's Target line. (GainSeeker disregards the Close parameter when it is added to the .txt file.)
