SplendidCRM has had the ability to import an RDL file for more than a year. Six months ago we added support for parameters to an imported RDL file, which effectively allowed you to generate an invoice. The one thing we were missing was the ability to generate the PDF invoice at the click of a button. With the new DynamicButtons feature of SplendidCRM 2.1, we are finally able to put it all together. You can now create a button and have it run a report, using any of the parameters of the current record. In this case, we added a PDF button to the Invoice Detail View and we run the Generic Invoice report with the current INVOICE_ID as a parameter.
We are going to start included sample RDL reports in SplendidCRM. If you have any suggestions as to what kinds of samples we should create, feel free to post them on our forum or send them to our support staff.
