Product: Total Reports


Once you have Total Reports Installed you'll want to configure it here. If you've already previously setup a Total Reports client, you'll simply want to copy their configuration over to the new client by bringing over the config files.

If this is a first time setup, or a new server - you'll want to follow the full instructions


Client Setup - Quick Copy


Setting up a new Total Reports installation for the client? Make sure you install Total Reports first, and then simply locate a currently working client and copy the Config files over to their machines for easy setup

Navigate: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics\GPxxx\vSync\Reporting\Configs

Copy: From working Client machine to new client machine

Config Files Folders

By copying over the configuration you're copying over all the connection strings to the database and company files that were previously configured, allowing your new client machine to easily launch the same configuration without needing to manually set them up (see below).
