How do I convert a table list?

You can convert a table list into a report definition so you can use it with the new report writer. As of the 2018.08 version, all table lists should be converted to a report definition. You can use Convert Table Lists in the event that a table list was not converted to a report definition. You can also use this tool if you have created a table list after you have installed the 2018.08 release.

What if I need more help? If you need help converting a table list, contact customer support at (800) 243-8275.

 

Before you get started

  • Before proceeding, back up the current files. Always make a back up of the database BEFORE running routines that modify or delete transactions. See the help topic titled How do I back up the database?

  • Verify the name of the converted report does not match the name of an existing report within the same application. Converting a table list with the same name as an existing report definition will replace it. To save the existing report definition, rename it or change the name of the table list.
