SalesPad’s Report Designer can be used to create a custom printed report to go along with any Quick Reports.

Report Files

1. In the Quick Report file, add the following tag to the top line of the report (after the xml version line):
   DevExpress="Quick Report w Report Designer.repx"
   Between the quotes should be the proper title of your Quick Report with Report Designer. Here is what the entire xml line should look like:
   <report name="Quick Report w Report Designer" ShowAutoFilterRow="true" autoRun="true" DevExpress="Quick Report w Report Designer.repx" AutoLinks="true" bestFitAll="true">
   
   Note: This should be the name of the Report Designer file and should be stored in the same path as your Quick Report.
2. In the Quick Reports module, load the Quick Report in the Report Files tab
   Note: This will not work if you try to load from the Reports tab.) It will look for the .repx file
   
3. When the file is found, click Print. The data from the report will load:
   
4. To modify this report, return to the Quick Reports module and right-click on the Print button. As long as the report .repx file is found, The Report Designer will open and all fields from the quick report data will be available:

Reports

You can also link a Printed Report to a Quick Report that is stored in the SQL database, though the process is a bit different. Also, it requires selecting a report that has been created in the Report Manager, which we discuss in our Reports documentation.

1. Open the Quick Reports tab, then go to the Report you want to connect a Printed Report to. Select it, then click Edit.
   
2. Choose the Report ID you would like to use, then choose the Report Name of the specific report you'd like to use.
   

If you would like to design the Printed Report directly from the Quick Report, you can do so by opening the Quick Report, then click Design along the top of the report options.
