Tutorial: Using Rules and Report Expressions

This tutorial explains what rules are and how they control what label templates are used and when. It also explains what report expressions are and how to use a command's data type as an expression within a GridControlObject of a custom label template. As the tutorial progresses it provides you with a practical example of how to modify the display of comments inside your final report.

Note: The expressions in this tutorial expect that you're using the English language version for PC-DMIS. If you're using a non-English version, adjust the conditional report expression in the "Adding a Condition" section at 13m 06sec to be TOGGLEVALUE(COMMENT_TYPE)==1 instead. This gives you a non language-specific approach of targeting the REPORT comment. Similarly, if you wanted to do something with an INPUT comment, you would simply use TOGGLEVALUE(COMMENT_TYPE)==2 to target an INPUT comment.
