Infor Lawson Smart Reports Global Configuration Settings for LSR Formatting

Infor Lawson Smart Reports format can be configured at the global level and then those settings are reflected across all standard report templates. Refer to items below for the standards and recommendations.

  • Configuration File Name, Location, and Sample content

    Administrators can configure report format settings via modifying the default values in reportsettings.prefs located at $LAWDIR/productlinename/lsr/templates/conf

    Reportsettings.prefs is automatically created upon job submission. File permissions are set for Owner, Group, and Public as Read & Write with numeric value of 666.

  • Update the report's font and properties. On Changing Properties, the following are recommended:

    • The Font Family property must be available on the server. Fonts can be installed in the pre-defined path from LSR or user preference by setting the path in fontsconfig.xml (for more information, see Managing Fonts in Infor Lawson Smart Reports).

    • When the Fonts Family property defined in reportsettings.prefs is not available in the server, LSR will use Arial as default font. If Arial is still not available, Times New Roman is the alternate font unless there is another alternate font defined in fontsconfig.xml (for more information, see Managing Fonts in Infor Lawson Smart Reports).

    • Hexadecimal color code for font colors is highly recommended. CSS color strings are accepted as well.

    • Font sizes must be of numeric value with optional suffix (%, cm, em, ex, in, mm ,pc ,pt , px) and you must consider that the font must fit into the default row height to avoid truncations since the row height property is constant.

  • Change the company logo's height and width.

  • Modify page header size and details line height.

    • Changing page header height applies "shrink to fit page" to layout.

    • page.header.height value supercedes value of page.header.image.height property

      Note: File Transfer should be of binary type to avoid image file corruption.

  • If the user wants to suppress the job parameter page for all LSR-enabled programs, the parameter.suppress property under reportsettings.prefs must be set to true.

  • If the user wants to generate a blank report for all LSR-enabled programs if it only contains the Job Parameter page, the parameter.suppress.generate.blank property under reportsettings.perfs must be set to true. Otherwise, it will not generate a .pdf report.

  • Enable or disable the use of predefined templates.

  • Enable clickable links in reports to bring up the drill around information (compatible with Portal 10.1.0.0 and later versions).
