Create a report with RITM Variable Sets and Multi-row Variable Set

Erika · ‎08-18-2022

Hi community!

I'd like to know if there's a way (or if it is possible) to create a report joining RITM variable sets and Multi-row Variable sets in one report.

HI Erika,

You can actually report on MRVS by creating a database view, then use that view to report on

Create a new Database view (System Definition -> Database Views)
1. Give it a name like 'u_sc_req_item_multi_var'
2. Label like "Multi Row Variable Set"
3. Plural like "Multi Row Variable Sets"
4. Description like "Joins the sc_req_item to the Multi Row variable set table to be able to report"
Save
Under View Tables click "New"
1. Table: Requested Item [sc_req_item]
2. Variable Prefix: sci
3. order: 100
4. Where clause: mrqa_parent_id = sci_sys_id
5. Click "Submit"
Under View Tables click "New"
1. Table: Multi Row Question Answer [sc_multi_row_question_answer]
2. Variable Prefix: mrqa
3. order: 100
4. Where clause: keep this field blank
5. Click "Submit"

You should now have a DBV that looks something like this:

Create a new report

Select Table as source and select your new Database view (Multi Row Variable Set) as the table

You should now be able to create a query and select the catalog item that you want to report on that has the MRVS, as well as adjust your columns to display the Question and Value as well as any other columns you want on your report.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Hi all, we also have the requirement to report on RITMs created w/cat items w/MRVSs.

In the screenshot example above, how do you know which set of values were submitted in a single row on the MRVS?

In other words, there is just a random list of Quantity, Description, Model Number, etc... How do you know which ones make up a row on the MRVS ?

We did what Neil P suggested below. Thank you @Neil P.

For mine, I group by number, then sort by row index. That groups them sufficiently. An excel output of the table is a little better, sorting wise.

Hi Neil, @bostonsnow
For me below issue is happening
1. RITM variables are coming in separate column ( marked in RED) and multirow variables are coming in another column (Marked in blue)

We have created view this way:
