6.x Meditech Report Designer Links to Client Server

 

When including Client Server data on a 6.x report, it is not possible as of 03/22/2012 to suppress the Database Prompt as depicted below.  In the future that might change, 6.x is evolving rapidly.  Here's the MEDITECH dialogue on the subject.

(QUESTION to MEDITECH) - Mar 21, 2012: When a report in Report Designer accesses a CS Module such as ABS, is there a way to suppress the prompt at run time?

(MEDITECH RESPONDS) - Mar 22, 2012: At this time there is no functionality to suppress that message from printing. It is needed in order to establish the link over to CS.

6.x Meditech Report Designer Close Screen After Printing

 

 

I can hear you now.  Wait a minute: this didn't work like this in Magic or Client Server.  Don't you have that funny feeling, I know I do, you're going to be saying that again & again!

In 6.x MAT Meditech Report Designer patch PP whatever we're at now, the current standard report defaults to the Select Screen staying open after you've selected and printed your report.  Very nice in some instances, but as a default option?  Maybe not!

Management, Analysts & Report Writers: your users are going to want this changed.  Why wait for them to request it?
