Tutorial

[mrajalko]

Is there any tutorial other than quick tutorial, which is good for start, but where to find answers to slightly difficult questions like

1. how to create columns like year / month of date columns.
2. how to create columns like amount which is computed by a formula.
3. how to create drill-down report.

all these samples are available in code but how to create on your tables, right from scratch is my question.

Yes, we could enhance the tutorials (contributions are welcomed)... here are the entry points for your questions:

1. Using the server manager, open your data source, select a date time column, then use the Helper property 'Create Date columns for drill' (may work only for certain database types)
2. Check https://sealreport.org/Recipes#lineFormula
3. From a column: Click on the 'Drill Children' property to define the children, if you want to create a sub-report, use the 'Create a Sub-Report' property,

The best is to add a Tutorial Html page in the documentation (it is part of the project), if you wish I can setup the a first page (like Recipes) and you can complete with your tutorials using Github Pull requests, just let me know

there is also some issue with Jet 4.0 in Windows 10 for access database. my suggestion would be to make a default SQL Server version

yes we are thinking about giving up the MS Access demo and 32bit version...

I just pull a template Tutorials.cshtml in the Documentation project, if you can fill some tutorials and pull a request, it would be great... thanks to contribute.

Is there any tutorial on how I can create a new user.
I managed to deploy Seal Reports (web) to a managed server but it asks for login and I don't either know a default user account or how to create a new one.
On my local computer I didn't have to login.
I apologise if I am asking for something very obvious but I am very new to Seal Reports.
Thanks

This depends on the Web Security implemented.
