Hello! We are about to upgrade to v15 and we have finally taken the plunge and gotten a license for infomaker to start trying to create some custom screens. I've gone through the infomaker manual and have poked around some and just quickly created some simple things, but I'm having difficulties getting Tess to find my forms. It can find the ones that were built for us during implementation, but can't find anything I've built.
Does anyone have any resources that particularly helped them get started? I'm sure it's just user error at this point, but I'm stuck.
Thanks!
Hello Brandi!
First question, are your DB Profiles set up and connected to your database(s)? It sounds like they are, but I just wanted to make sure.
When you say you are having difficulties having Tessitura find your forms, are you having difficulties connecting the forms you have written for reports to the Tessitura procedures, or are you writing forms that are not being found within the application? If the latter, double-check your settings in T_DEFAULTS, specifically the field titled LOCAL_LIBRARY_LIST to make sure it has your pbl library location there. If that is set up, make sure then that you are entering the database object of the forms in T_FORMAT_INFO.
I have done a fair bit in InfoMaker and would be happy to chat if want to reach out off-line. Feel free to e-mail me, jmoskal@thecenterpresents.org.
