Setting Up Report Metadata

Report metadata is delivered for PeopleSoft Analytical Application reports. Each delivered report or cube has a record within the Report Metadata page. You can change the metadata as reports change, or as additional parameters are needed. If you create your own reports, you can use report metadata to document them.

This topic discusses how to define report details.
