Ex: + <KPlato> + <Detail Level="0" SelectFrom="resourcegroups" /> + <Detail Level="1" SelectFrom="resources" /> + </KPlato> + will select properties from ResourceGroup into fields defined + in Detail level 0, and properties from Resource into fields defined + in Detail level 1. +2) + When you define a Field, the Field attribute (called Name in kudesigner ui) + is used to select the property from the kplato class. + Ex: + <Field Field="normalrate" /> +3) + You can also get data into fields by specifying <class>.<property>. + Ex: + <Field Field="project.name" /> + +4) + Currently one "global" property exists: currentdate. + So you can specify + <Field Field="currentdate" /> + to present a localized formatted date. + +The method I've used to create reports: +1) + Define the layout using kudesigner. +2) + Save as flat xml file.
