VRL - Crystal Report File Exports Should be Named with the Report Name

When exporting Crystal Reports from VRL, all reports are given the same generic "CrystalReport.pdf" file name. The traditional Vista SQL connection version of Crystal Reports assigns the report name as the file, which makes sense. VRL should work the same way. It's common for customers to run and export multiple reports, and having to type in the file name ever time seems unnecessary.

      We need to be able to pull reports with the name attached to it. Our payroll team pulls about 20+ reports every week during their processing and to name every one is excessive and a huge waste of their time. Please change this back to how it was.

      It is very annoying to have to type the file name every single time on every single report.... please change it back!

      AP Vendor Drilldown Printer icon does not go directly to the printer, forces to export, open, then print to printer -- HATE THIS! Please change back to the old way.


      It will print directly from the "AP Vendor Drilldown - Launcher" BUT that only prints the first screen, when I am needing third click down screen (after the posted invoices drilldown that gives you the listed transactions for that month)

      THIS IS A REAL INCONVENIENCE taking 3 more steps/clicks than in the old system

      This is very annoying to have to type the file name every single time on every single report - this should have been setup in VRL the same way.
