Exit & Cancel button on Open Report File message so you don't have to exit entire report to re-run it.

After running a report you need to click on Cancel on the "Open Report File" message that is displayed.  This returns you to the home screen.  It would be useful if either:

  • There is a Cancel & Exit button on the Open Report File - cancel to return to report parameters and Cancel to close the report; or
  • The message was automatically closed after clicking "Open", leaving you with the prompt screen.  This would enable you to
    • "OK" to re-run the report with the same parameters; or
    • Modify the parameters and re-run the report; or
    • Back/Fast Exit to exit the report. 

There is nothing more frustration than entering incorrect parameters or needing to run the same report multiple times and having to exit every single time.

    Hi Guys,

    We have commenced this project with our First 5 Reports going out where the Report bunding options will be preserved, and you will stay on the Report screen after running. Check the R3 Release notes for the first 5 completed. We plan to deliver on this one incrementally with more scheduled for conversion in upcoming Releases. Will keep going until all reports have been converted to work in this way.

    cheers

    Andrew

    Hi Sara

    Relatively new to JP & have just found your idea.

    Agree - very frustrating particularly if you're new to the system & unsure how the report will run without trying a few different combinations of report parameters.

    The report check boxes should be 'sticky' so that when you try to re-run you are not starting with the default parameters but instead with the parameters you last chose so that you can just alter one or two to get the result that you're after.

    & definitely not have the report screen close & force back to 'home' - intensely frustrating.
