You can generate reports in RTF or PDF format by using
a report type and report template. A report is composed of the most
recent workspace information.
Note: You must either be a global administrator or have the global
permission to manage reports.
Two components generate reports:
- Report template: The report template is an XML string that
determines the font, chapter, header, footer, and other characteristics
of the report. Templates are available with the product. Each template
can be used several times by all the workspaces.
- Report type: A report type connects a report template and
a workspace by determining the workspace components to use in the
template. Each workspace has a list of report types. Several report
types can use the same report template but connect to different views.
To create a report type, you need a report template.
