Hi,
When a report is bursted, an output file is created in LBI. I believe it uses the report name, and a generated sequential number as part of the output file name. Is there a way to customize the file name? In my case, I burst the report by store number. Is there a way to add the store number to the name of the output file? Any help would be appreciated.

Barb,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no way to do this with LBI. But PLEASE submit a enhancement request to Infor on this. Ive had multiple clients complain about the lack of this feature and yet last week i was on a call with Infor with a client and they said they had never heard that request from a client before.

The best you can do is print to a PDF file and use a PDF renaming application to do this work. Another option is to get an email scrapper on your SMTP server, create device only users, burst to those users and have the scrapper save the attachments to the desired locations. I actually had a retail client do this. Rather complex and involves additional licensing but if this functionality is key it may be of interest.
