Has anyone created a report that we could use to view or print the 'Watched By' info?  I'm not so much interested in printing a 'Watched By' report (which would constantly change) as I am in just pulling up that information to view

We have an option in DVD Profiler to set 'Watched By' dates, but no way to use or report the information that we've entered.  Unfortunately, I don't possess the skills to create such a report myself, nor am I skilled in the use of scripts.  If a report does not yet exist to pull up information regarding the 'Watched By' dates we've entered, would someone with such skills be interested in creating one?


Thank You!      -kd5-

The Database Query plug-in will allow you to view Watched By information broken down by any user in your database.  And should you decide to print after all, the results can be copied to something like Excel and from there you can do whatever you want with it.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

OK, new problem.  While it's true that DVD Profiler has a Watched By report capability, why is each month sorted alphabetically?  The purpose of a Watched By report should be to see which movies you watched last, or (more importantly) to see which movies you watched earliest (or the longest while ago, if that makes any sense).  The sorting alphabetically within each month should not even exist. 

Is there a way to remove the alphabetical sorting within each month from this report?  It makes no sense whatsoever to do it that way.     

Thanks,      -kd5-

It seems the problem with any Watched By report I've tried wants to sort alphabetically.  I can't see the purpose of that in a Watched By report.      -kd5-

+1. The "Database Query" plug-in does not give me access to all the information I've entered. I want to be able to create a list of every "Watched By" entry, not just "Last Watched". An example being, what movies by date did I watch in 2009? Or, every viewing of the the "Harry Potter" series.

At "Tools" -> "Edit Users" you have the possibility to see the whole process of every user and there's also an Icon to export this list.
Maybe this helps as a workaround.
