How can I use DevExpress subreports in the Software Factory?

I have added a report with 3 subreports:
 

 

In Devexpress:

 

 

However, in the Application I get the following message: 

 

It works once I put the file in the specific location, however a user cannot do that. I also cannot hardcode the location in DevExpress since it differs for different branches. What is the correct approach?

Hey ​@Allard Lakerveld ,

The uploaded subreports on the SF seems to be correct.

I see that the name of the report on the DevExpress designer differs to the subReport's name uploaded on the SF.
According to the documentation the name should be the same to be able to find the correct report.

Could you check if it works when you change the name of the subreport on the DevExpress designer to be the same as the name of the corresponding report?

Thank you,

Dani

Small note, the last screenshot (and the tag to this question) is suggesting the Windows GUI.

Using the “Subreports” detail only works for Universal and Windows GUI (3 tier). It works on those platforms because reports are executed by Indicium - and only Indicium reads the subreport configuration.

This is not implemented for the Windows GUI 2 tier. There is a workaround available for Windows GUI 2 tier. You can do that by uploading the subreport as a “main” report.
