# Report Group

Report Group is a function that can be used to pick up the language texts and the images linked to a group of reports (not to be confused with report groups used in the print button configuration - more information is found in [this section of the guide](/v1/docs/common-1#report-group)).

Within Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, we can assign resources such as Images and Language Texts to individual reports. For example, we can add an image from **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Reports** > **Setup** > **Images**.

Or we can add a language text to the structure of the report from **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Reports**.

However, sometimes, managing all of these resources for individual reports can be difficult when many of them are common to whole groups of reports. This is where the report group can be used.

## Report Group Form

To open the **Report group** form, navigate to **Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Lists** > **Report group**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-53OXYKE7.png)

The following form will open:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-6J6VP2CT.png)

- Action pane: Options to create new report groups and add data to existing report groups.
- List of existing report groups (on the left-hand side of the page).
- **Reports**: Reports within the selected groups.
- **Language texts**: Language texts within the selected group.
- **Images**: Images within the selected group.

## Create a New Report Group

To create a new report group, follow these steps:

1. Click **New** on the Action pane.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-LZQDX0NE.png)

A new row will be added to the list of report groups.

1. Provide a **Name** and a **Description** for the report group.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-C7APHW5A.png)

1. Leave the **Type** as **Static**. Ensure the **Reports** tab is selected, and then, using the arrows, move the relevant reports from the **AVAILABLE** list to the **SELECTED** list.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-NJT8MX42.png)

Once all the relevant reports have been selected, your form should look as follows:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-JS963WF4.png)

### Select the Language Texts

1. Open the **Language texts** tab.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-S0P0QOUK.png)

1. The list on the **Language texts** tab is blank when it is first created. There are two ways to populate it: one is to use the **New** button. This will enable the user to manually create a new language text and assign it a language directly from within the report group.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-7GFF3PID.png)

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-DX2U8IOJ.png)

The second option is to use the **Copy labels from report(s)** button.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-GMCBPQ32.png)

This will open a dialog in which the user can select any reports within the report group to which they want to add labels and language texts.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-1QRTPZFM.png)

1. Select the appropriate reports and click **OK**. The following screen is displayed:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-PVOTHCFX.png)

1. From this screen, the user can select the different languages and labels that need to be added to the report group. In this example, the **en-gb** and **en-us** **Labels** for the **Load ID** have been selected:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-XE6S2WFW.png)

1. Click **OK** to add those labels to the report group.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-D4AO1JB9.png)

If a large volume of data needs to be managed within the report group, it can be useful to use the Microsoft Office integration, which comes with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-UWE2Q2IF.png)

For more information about Microsoft Office integrations, consult the [Microsoft documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/office-integration/use-excel-add-in).

For more information about using Language Texts and Report Groups, watch [this video](/v1/docs/labels-language-texts-and-report-groups).

### Select the Images

1. Select the **Images** tab.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-PQG96MXE.png)

The two lists populating this form show the **AVAILABLE** and **SELECTED Images.** Those within the **AVAILABLE** list have been added to one of the individual reports in the report group. The images in the **SELECTED** list have been added to the whole report group, so they are available to all the reports in that group.

Not every image added to a report in the report group needs to be selected: sometimes, specific images need to be linked to a single report.

1. To add an image, navigate to **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Reports** and select the report to which you want to add the image. Then, click **Setup** > **Images**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-L5FED0EX.png)

1. On the displayed form, click **New**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-SKKGJCWV.png)

1. Browse to the location of the file you wish to attach, then click **OK**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-G2JDOT1Q.png)

The image file now shows as one of the images attached to the report.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-26N16OC4.png)

It also shows as an image that is available to add to the report group.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-TYPWD6F7.png)

Adding the image this way will also create a separate report group of **Dynamic** **Type**, specifically linked to the report to which the image was added (specified under **Range**). Using the arrow to move images from the **AVAILABLE** to the **SELECTED** list adds the image to every report in the report group.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-SK235NXW.png)

It is also possible to view all images and a preview by navigating to **Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Lists** > **Images**.
