Number of Lines per Irrigation Block in Zone Design Report

[ygudz]

There is a variable #NUMLAT# to add the number of lines to the Zone Label.
How can I add the number of lines per Irrigation Block to the Zone Design Report?

Firstly, note that the NUMLAT and NUMROW label keywords may be applied to Irrigation Blocks and not to control valves (i.e. zones). In many cases, but not always, the zone is a single block and therefore these keywords will give the numbers for the zone as a whole.

Note also that NUMLAT will display the number of individual lateral segments while NUMROW displays the number of rows in the block (which will be different if the submain isn’t on the ends of the laterals). I’m not sure which information you are wanting to see in the Zone Reports?

IRRICAD Zone reports use a different system than labeling but it would be reasonably easy to add the NUMLAT count to the Zone Design Full report. Would this be of use to you?

Unfortunately adding this to other zone reports, or implementing a count of the rows, would be much more complicated and could require some reprogramming of the reporting system. We can add this to our feature request list for consideration in the future.

How i insert NUMLAT or NUMROW in Zone design full? Is a formula field?

[jovivier]

It appears that I was incorrect and we can't really do this successfully in the current reports as it will only work for a limited set of circumstances.

However, if you have a submain on one end and only only sized lateral in the connected spraylines the report can successfully add up the number of laterals (like NUMLAT):-
In the Zone Full Report, create a formula field which includes the system field "sys->sort_item_count".
Place this in Footer 3 to count the entries in the "Spraylines & Tapes" section.
Edit the properties of the formula to change the "Summarization Type" to Count.

As mentioned previously, NUMROW cannot be calculated in the reports.
We could consider adding both NUMLAT and NUMROW as Data Fields for the Report Editor, however these would only work for zones comprised of irrigation block entities. At this stage we still need to investigate if this is possible.
