Key Item Report Plugin
Last edited: December 15, 2003 08:09 AM
The Key Item plugin report is an extra report that can be run from within Manager. (See .PID File Format section for more information.) This report looks similar to the Itemized report currently available in Manager with the exception that the user can control which PLUs are included on the report. The user defines PLU lists which they can select from when running the report.
To setup the PLU Lists:
1. Launch Manager.
2. Select Configure Extra Reports from the File menu.[img:z6w3ush1]http://www.possupport.net/dealer/kbase/images/config_list.jpg[/img:z6w3ush1]
3. Select Key Item Report from the list of available reports. The PLU List Name Maintenance dialog will appear:[img:z6w3ush1]http://www.possupport.net/dealer/kbase/images/config_plulist.jpg[/img:z6w3ush1]
This dialog shows a list of available PLU lists to choose from when running the report. There are a total of 99 possible lists. All 99 are shown, whether they are in use or not. However, the lists will not be available for reporting until a name has been defined.
4. To define a name, highlight a list number and select the Edit button.[img:z6w3ush1]http://www.possupport.net/dealer/kbase/images/edit_list_name.jpg[/img:z6w3ush1]
Type a descriptive name for the list and select Ok.
5. Next, you will define which PLUs belong to the list.[img:z6w3ush1]http://www.possupport.net/dealer/kbase/images/config_plulist2.jpg[/img:z6w3ush1]

Installation
Create a directory called Plugins on the same drive as Manager was found. If Manager was found on C: then the directory should be created on the C: drive.
Place the program files in this directory. The necessary files are:
* ItemRep.EXE – the program executable
* ItemRep.RES – the resource file
* ItemRep.PID – the program definition fileTechnical notes
Below is an excerpt from Plugins.DOC describing the program definition file. For more detailed information about the workings of a plugin, please refer to the Plugins.DOC.
.PID File FormatThe .PID file is a text file that may be created with DOS Edit or any other text editor. It contains settings that Manager will use. Below are a list of possible settings and their meanings.
The file may also contain remarks. A REM indicates that the line is a remark, and will be ignored. Blank lines will also be ignored. A remark may be placed after a setting, on the same line if it is preceeded by a ; symbol.
The following are sample settings, with remarks about each:
Version=5 ;This required line informs manager what version of TouchNET/TouchPRO the report is compatible with.
Name=A Plugin Report ;This is the name that the user will see
Wide=136 ;This is the report width (80 and 136 are common)
UseJournal=yes ;This report will not be launched without the user selecting dates first. Without this line, the /Date=YYMMDD-YYMMDD command line will not be passed.
