Web Reports problems

Hi Javier,

It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with PHPRunner while trying to modify your report layout. This is a common situation where the report design reverts to a default list view when fields are added or modified. Here are some steps and tips to help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Check Report Type: Ensure that you are using the correct report type (e.g., summary report, detail report) that supports the layout you have designed. Sometimes switching to a different type can reset the layout.

   
   

2. Save and Backup: Before making changes, always save a backup of your report design. This way, if you encounter issues, you can revert to the previous version.

   
   

3. Adding Fields Correctly: When adding a field, make sure to:

   • Select the correct place in the layout for the new field.
   • Use the drag-and-drop functionality carefully if applicable.
   • Confirm that you are not inadvertently selecting options that might revert your layout.
   
   
   
   

4. Check for Updates: Since you're using PHPRunner 11.1, check if there are any updates or patches available. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer versions, and upgrading might resolve the issue.

   
   

5. Recreate Layout if Needed: If adding fields continues to reset your layout, consider recreating the layout in a fresh report. You can copy settings and styles from your existing report to speed up the process.

   
   

6. Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to PHPRunner support or visiting their forums. They often have specific solutions for common issues and can provide more direct assistance.

   
   

7. Documentation and Forums: Review the PHPRunner documentation for any guidance on report layouts. Additionally, check the forums as other users may have encountered similar issues.

   
   

8. Debugging: If you're comfortable with debugging, check the PHP error logs to see if there are any errors that occur when you attempt to add a field. This can provide insight into what's going wrong.

   
   

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue you're experiencing with your report layout in PHPRunner. If you continue to face challenges, don't hesitate to ask for further assistance. Good luck!
