Instructions

In order to run an example, please do the following:

1. Make sure that you have installed Docentric AX Framework.

2. Import and build the project with the Docentric AX examples: DocentricAXExamples.axpp. See how >>

3. Navigate to the Organization administration -> Docentric AX menu and open the Reports form that represents Docentric report setup.

4. Click the Reload all button in the Tools action pane tab in Docentric report setup.

Learn more about Docentric report setup >>

Start each of reports registered in Docentric report setup to see the effects of replacing built-in SSRS report designs by Docentric designs (aka Docentric templates). You will also be able to try out the improved print destinations.

If you put breakpoints in the provided custom DSP classes, you can learn about report execution pipeline and explore methods of Docentric DSP classes that can be overridden.

Explore Docentric replicas of commonly used SSRS reports such as Customer invoice and Purchase order. This way you can learn about designing practices as well as techniques of using Docentric custom DSP classes.

DSP classes can serve not only for adding/removing data to/from a report data source but also for reshaping it. For example, you can restructure fields of a data table into hierarchical groups, move ‘header fields’ from a data table for report lines to a header table, break one data table into multiple tables, e.g. into a report header and lines tables.
