I have several reports. They all use the same article structure, but I have made a separate copy of the article for each report. Can I use just one article for all reports? (with their own module & menu item). Does this still work if several people are running different reports at the same time?

Hello,

It is not clear how articles are related to "ARI Data Tables" module. Could you explain it in more details?

I have a module:
Module Manager: Module mod_aridatatables
I have my sql declaration in it.

The module says which menu item it is assigned to.

The menu item has an article selected that has {aridatatables moduleId=""} {/aridatatables}

Since the article is exactly the same each time, can I reuse the same article or do I need to have a separate article for each module.

So if I have report:
Customers
Parts
Sales Leads
with each a separate menu item and separate ARI module,

Do I need 3 articles?
Or can I have one and each of the menu items refers to the same article?

I have about 50-60 reports, so it would be nice to not have an article for each one. But different users will be running the reports and it is very possible several reports could be run at the same time.

If you want to use different module ID in {aridatatables moduleId="MODULE_ID"} plugin code, you can use plugin like DirectPHP. It supports ability to use PHP code in articles so you can generate necessary ID based on select menu item.
