Integrate telerik reporting tools

and include some demo graphs etc

Looking for some ideas on example reports as we will need to build the database tables/stored procedures to feed the reporting tool

Hi S,

Tried calling you twice but you must be busy or in meetings etc..

Personally I have never used the Telerik reporting tool, but I did help with some SQL and SP stuff for Allan at LL when he was doing his stuff on safety manager.

It will most likely follow the same databinding patters as everything else and will probably rely on good layered structures for decent reporting outputs.

I still need to discuss a few of the form elements with you as well and I am here most of the day and will be working on it today/tonight as well.

Cheers,

B.

Hi Stephen,

I will have a word on the QT with Allan on Friday when were together at the office about the reporting tool.

In the mean time we need to move a section of the form, either I can do it or you can. The code is all in place now and the way we have done it means we can move stuff around and not have to make any code/logic changes.

The change involves the Minerals/Countries combo as these are part of a larger ‘Or’ section there is a panel on page 3 that becomes visible when selecting a mineral, but it’s also to be filled when choosing a dangerous country and that selection happens on page 4. Therefore if you don’t select a mineral but do choose a country you will not be aware of the 3 extra elements that have appeared in page 3.

Essentially we need to put these questions into page 4 and move the country selection into page 3, this will also mean re-numbering the questions. I think it may be better and quicker for you to move these around, but I can do it if you like and then you can re-adjust the question numbers.

Speak laters,

B.

I have spent some time looking at Telerik reporting and my gut feeling is that its going to take too long to implement AND that i think it might be overkill in terms of what we need it to do? not sure if @jamesmarmstrong and @markdransfield agree though. I have looked at a JQUERY solutions called HighCharts which i have been impressed with and has a .Net wrapper which could help quicken the development process. I've very easily added some example charts onto the CERICO page (dummy data) to give everyone a flavour of it. Link to follow:

Hi Stephen,

Was about to have that chat with Allan here, but it seems you’re happy to use this other tool instead?

Allan did say it was a bit complex the Telerik toolset.

We need to make the window.location(0,0) code only execute when using the nav buttons as its causing other problems when staying on the same page and expanding items. I have commented it out for now and will look at a way to get it to only kick on only when navigating.

I am 90% complete on the nav as well given that sometimes we need to go from page 3 straight to page 6 and also the save draft needs to remember the page we were on and re-open in the same panel we closed on. That is almost done too, but for now it may give some quirky results if you’re using it today.

I shall crack on as normal this weekend and we can catch up on Monday and see where we’re at.

In the mean time if there’s anything you need I can be called on the landline or mobile tonight or any time on the weekend.

Cheers,

B.

P.S. I tried calling you a few times but only got your answer service.
