How hard is this?  I have been trying to create or edit an existing report for the last couple weeks and cant seem to get it to work how I want it.  If someone can tell me how to do this or direct me to an existing report, I'd be so grateful!

Anyway, I have my dvdprofiler set up with tags.  I wan a report to simply list the title of the movie and show the tag in front of it.  Basically I need a table with a tag column and a dvd column, but as easy as that sounds, its not working for me. 

Maybe I have my profiler set up wrong??  But where else would I be able to enter the shelf location of each movie if I dont put them in the tags?

Thanks for any help, apparently I have a brick wall in front of me....

Generally shelf location would be entered in the location field.  This is under DVD->Personalize, in the discs section.

Thanks for the direction, but is there a way to show a "print screen here to let you see what I am looking at??  I dont see any such thing asking about a location, other than disc drive, side A-disc ID and side B-disc ID.

Sorry, I just feel really dumb here...

Such a report would look something like this:

You can't simply show the tags, which is kind of logical if you realize that a profile can have many tags set.
What you can do is create text-field that have "conditions" as the picture shows that bbbbb linked.
E.g. you have tages "Shelf 1" and "Shelf 2" (and many more) you create a field witht the text "Shelf 1" which is only shown if the tag "Shelf 1" is present. On top of this a field "Shelf 2" which is shown when tag "Shelf 2" is present and so forth.

But in the long run proper locations might be better: click a profile, now press Ctrl-P and you should see the "Personalize"-Dialog. Down at the bottom, left to the "Discs" there are fields "Location" and Slot"

See!!!  I told you I feel dumb!  I have been in this section of DVD-p for weeks and have NEVER seen that area!  Sorry and thanks for the help!

Now I should just go to a report that lists the location and they would show up, right?
