CRRuntime - Alerts

Hello,

If you create an Alert within Crystal Reports (2013), the Alert pops up where necessary.
If you view the same report using CRRuntime (CRRuntime_12_2_mlb) the Alerts aren’t supported.

I have noticed you can use the AlertMessage(), IsAlertEnable() & IsAlertTriggered() functions.
I have a formula field called @MarginByProd. I want an Alert to be triggered when this field = 0.

I see online you then drag the formula onto the Report Header Section. If you do this, will the pop-up box warning the User they have a trigger still appear?
I am unsure the correct formula to create to do do this?

Thanks.

I have not used alerts in reports.

Are you saying that if you run in the designer then you get a popup box with the alert information or is it something on the report?

However when you run in an application the alerts don't work?

Does this link help?

SInce the above link may be behind the SAP login, this one seems to have the same information at the end.

Yes that's what l am saying.

So the link is saying to use an API ...?

Mike McCracken

Yes. You have to include the RAS API

How do I do that within CR?

Mike McCracken

You can't. You do It in the application.
Essentially you are writing the code that will receive the alert and generate the alert to the screen.

So if l can't do it in CR, which application do l do it in?

Mike McCracken

The application that is displaying the reports.

Oh ok, so basically it can't be done then as l do not have access to their open code.
