Configure Report Definition

Description

The Report Definition function is the core component for creating and managing operational reports in IFS Cloud. It serves as the blueprint for assembling the report data and defining its structure.

Key aspects of Report Definition:

• Business Logic: Contains the code (typically PL/SQL) that determines how data is fetched and processed.
• Data Structure: Defines the format and content of the report data. Report Layout: Links to the report layout file (e.g., .rdl) for visual representation.
• Metadata: Stores additional information about the report, such as name, description, and author.

Essentially, the Report Definition dictates how a report is generated, from data retrieval to final output. It provides the foundation for customization, scheduling, and distribution of operational reports.

Prerequisites

• The selected report should be an operational report.
• As the user, you should be granted the required permission sets.
• Required report projections must be included in the granted permission sets.
