Scheduled vs On Demand Report
I have an “On Demand” reporting feature implemented in many of my apps that allow the user to email themselves a report. This report consists of a single row of data from the parent table and all related rows of a child table. This “On Demand” feature is implemented via an OnChange column and an action.
In this configuration the user is only able to generate a report for one row of the parent table at a time. I would like the user to be able to generate a report for all rows in the parent table as well as the related rows in the child.
A scheduled report will create a report of all rows in a table and all the related rows. This is what I need however, I’d like to trigger this 'On Demand" through an action.
It may help to think of this as a sales situation where one table contains customers and a related child table contains customer orders.
Through an action my users are able to email themselves a report containing ONE customer and all the orders that customer has placed.
A scheduled report that will create a report containing ALL customers and each customer’s orders.
I need a way to generate this report on demand and not via a schedule.
Any ideas how I might go about implementing this?
