RE: ability to print range (not page) in pre election reports

["Ken Clark" <ken@dieboldes.com>]

 

This is not a new request - As we could in VTS  print a set of Precincts with districts and specify a range - from 101 -  105  -  for example -  we would like to be able to do the same for most of the proofing reports in gems -  not pages -  this is especially helpful when building a db from scratch or adding just a few precincts or districts and wishing to proof them.

thank you

 

This has been a pending RCR for a few years now, so its probably worth renewed comment. 

 

Precinct range is just one of many parameters that would be nice.  Unfortunately, because the existing reports "work", this just never makes it to the top of the TODO list.  Its not like anyone is willing to pay extra to have this, or that we'll get decertified for not having it.  Our reports look great in a demo so it doesn't even help sales.  We have lost our last two Crystal Report programmers as well.

 

I'd sure like to see this though.  Unlike most of the RCRs that have come down the pike lately, this would make GEMS better election management software.  Maybe we could at least get a framework in place some time this year.  No promises.
