Report packages are made up of subcomponents called doclets. A report package owner assigns authors and approvers for each doclet. The authors and approvers provide and approve content for the doclets.
The author phase follows this process:
The report package owner initiates the author phase in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud Service web interface.
Notification messages are sent to doclet authors to begin their work.
In Smart View, doclet authors check out doclets, provide content, and then check doclets back in.
When authors have finished their work, they submit the doclets for approval, if required.
If doclet approval is specified, notification messages are sent to doclet approvers to review the doclets and either approve or reject them.
The report package owner marks the author phase complete.
As a doclet author, you can work with doclets in Word with Smart View or in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud Service web interface. The topics in this section discuss authoring doclets in Smart View.
