Report Explorer and DataPipelines

rbuser

I'm using Report Explorer in my application so that the final user can
create his own reports.
The problem is that all the datapipelines that I used in all the forms
of my project are visible in the designer (because I also created some
reports at design time using datapipelines).

Is it possible to avoid this behavior?

Hi Alessandro,

Try setting the Visibility property of the pipelines on your form to False.
This will hide those specific pipelines inside the report designer for the
end users.

Should I set the Visibilty property after the creation of the reports?
If I set visible=false I'm not anymore able to add fields to my
reports that I have to create at design time.

Why reports explorer is capable to see pipelines on other forms?

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

If you are personally designing reports using these pipelines, you will need
to set their Visibility to True in order to use them in the Report Designer.
Setting them to False is to prevent the end-users from seeing and using
datapipelines you do not want them to. By default, the report designer will
search through every enabled form and datamodule for datapipelines in your
project when it is executed.
