Reports

When a Report is configured (specifically, the new Profit & Loss - Multiple Periods), the configuration details seem to be stored somewhere centrally in Solar, rather than specifically within the Database in which they were created.

This means that if the same report is selected for another Database, it comes pre-configured - which may be what is required or may be not. I can see this might be useful if the requirements for the second Database were of the the same format or for the same type of use, but I would have expected that the configuration was related to a specific Database and not to Solar generally ?

Is this a feature or an oversight :-)

Hi Alan,

That is the way it was designed - so it's a feature, not a bug! Although you could argue that it would have been better design to save the report parameters to the data file.

Regards,
