Unfortunately no, still not displaying correctly.  I have emailed Compass for their advice.

 

 

 

Hi Robert,

 

I seem to remember us experiencing this as well. I cant remember what fixed the issue but I think it might have been something to do with compatibility view settings. If you switch on compatibility view in tools, then refresh does it work?

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Thanks, I think I have cracked it.  Just the URL format that was wrong.

 

One small issue all my SSRS reports are apprearing very narrow.  I can see a height option but not sure why the reports are appearing in a small window.  I have created a quick test report linking on OfferingID but see below.  Can’t get it to report any wider!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Robert,

 

I’ll try and explain it here..

 

I’ll do a really simple example. Create an SSRS report and use the following code for the query;

 

SELECT * FROM offering WHERE offeringid = @offeringid

 

Just add some basic information to the report and save/deploy to your report server. Then in prosolution (desktop), select ‘Maintenance’, ‘General’, ‘Custom Web Pages’.

 

Click ‘New’, select a context from the ‘Custom Page Type’ drop down. In this example ‘View Offering’.

 

Give the page a name, and a description. Tick to embed the report within the prosolution frame, then enter the URL. This should be the location of your report on your report server;

 

 

 

This will be something like;

 

http://NameOfYourServer/ReportServer?/MyFolder/NameofReport&OfferingID=<OfferingID>

 

In the example above, Reports03 is the name of our reports server, the name of the report is AttendanceByCoursePS and is saved within a the folder structure JLC/Course/Attendance

 

Hope this helps?!

 

 

 

 

 

Hi

 

It’s amazing how these new features get added yet you miss them.  We were one of the first 5 adopters of PS and I was not aware you could do this!!

 

I am now looking into it but struggling with the passing of parameters from the URL to the SSRS report dataset.

 

Would you mind if I quizzed someone at your college about how to do it?

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Hi Rob,

 

I don’t think it’s a recent addition. I think it was there when we first moved to the system which was around version 10 I think?

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Hi Andrew, thanks for the info. I hadn’t realised this was available within the pages of ProSolutionWeb, has this been a recent addition or have I missed it all along?? I’ve just spotted the different settings with the custom web pages – we had a few of them but I hadn’t spotted that they could be context specific! That’s going to be really useful.

 

Thanks,

Rob.

 

 

Hi,

 

We've been using the system for just over a year now. Our staff use prosolution web a lot to view information, run reports and mark registers etc. We've found the custom web pages functionality really useful. You can really improve the system by adding additional pages to each context (offering, student detail etc).

 

One of the things we have done is embed SSRS reports as custom web pages. This saves the user having to click into reports and search for a report whilst on a particular course or student. The report displays nicely within the frame of the page. For each context we’ve set up the most commonly used reports;

 

 

Each context has parameters that you can pass to reports or web pages. Eg <offeringID><academicYearID>

 

This allows you to link into other systems to display information. If you have skills in asp.net or something similar its pretty simple to get working. We’ve managed to add some useful features;

 

 

 

Let me know if you would like any further information.

 

Thanks

Thanks Andrew, we have done a few bits around adding custom data into list screens but not a whole lot just yet - definitely not funding but I can see the benefits of doing that. What do you use for your reporting? We have SSRS here and although we have purchased ProMetrix we're not going down that route just yet.

 

Thanks,

Rob.

Hi Rob,

 

We went live on the 1st July. We also are very impressed with the system.

 

A few things we've done since going live:-

 - Reporting:

                We now put the onus on end users to retrieve their data from the system. Since going live we've only had to create about a dozen reports.

- Custom data sources:

               We've been adding custom data into the list screens, which have been very useful. One of the things we've done is to add the funding per learner                   figure from the FIS database to the student list screens (along with other bits of data). Concerned I might be teaching you how to suck eggs, so I'll leave it at that, but if you want any tips on how to do this, come back to me.

 

Has anyone else got any tips for us newbies?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew and Peter,

 

We too are new ProSolution users and implemented the system in April 2014. We're getting to grips with the various parts of the system and overall it's a massive improvement on our previous Student Record System. Would be really interested to hear experiences of the system and any hints/tips you've picked up.

 

All the best,

Rob.
