Additional questions, notes, and tips

Where do I find built-in data fields that are available to a report?
Reports typically contain multiple stored procedures that list data fields (expand Data Sources, WaspDB2012 [MS SQL] at the left). For built-in fields, avoid the ones with “CustomFields” in the name, which are only used when referring to user-created fields (in Form Customization). Built-in fields are contained in another SP that is specific to a particular report.

For example, the Historical Check Out By Customer Report contains multiple SPs:
SpAssetTypeViewsWithCustomFields
SpAssetViewsWithCustomFields
SpCustomerViewsWithCustomFields
SpHistoricalCheckOutTransaction
SpLabels4CR

Three of these contain “CustomFields” and SpLabels4CR is not expandable. The remaining SP, Sp Historical Check Out Transaction, is the one that contains the built-in fields used by this report (or unused but available).

Where are the custom fields stored?
This depends on what kind of field it is. Page 6 lists the relevant Data Sources for different field types (in the form Sp + field type + Views With Custom Fields):

SpAssetTypeViewsWithCustomFields
SpAssetViewsWithCustomFields
SpLocationViewsWithCustomFields
SpSiteViewsWithCustomFields

Where are my custom fields in the data source?
If you can’t see your fields, you need to execute the data source (page 6, step 3 in the PDF above) so the list is updated.

Not all fields are available on all reports.
If you can’t find one, we can verify whether it’s available. If it’s not, we will evaluate that field’s usefulness as a possible feature enhancement.

For text objects on a report, when they can be multiple and/or variable number of lines, it’s best to set these boxes in the Behavior property in the following way:
Can Grow: checked
Can Shrink: checked
Grow to Height: not checked

Changing the bar code symbology (type) in Cloud report designer:

Start the report designer on the report or label you want to edit, e.g. Asset Tag or Item Number Label.
Click to select the barcode.
At the lower left, make sure Properties is clicked.
In the left Properties pane, set the Bar Code Type to your desired type. The default is
Code 128 Auto which is a commonly used 1D type. Common 2D types would be DataMatrix or QR Code.
Don’t forget to File, Save when you’re done editing.
