Custom Report Window (General tab)
In the General tab, you can define the general custom report information.
- Enter and select values in the following fields:
Note: Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*), or a star.
- Name
Enter a unique name for the custom report, up to 50 characters (use alphanumeric characters or spaces).
- Description
(Optional) Enter a brief description about the custom report.
- Data Model Type
This is pre-populated read-only field, based on the selected custom report type. The values can either be Internal or External, based on the option selected at the time of creating the custom report.
- Report Level
A drop-down list that lets you select Project for a project-level custom report, Program for a program-level custom report, or Application for an application-level custom report.
- Main View
A drop-down list that lets you select a data view to use as the main view of the custom report. The items in the drop-down list are populated with the data views that have been published.
Note: When you are selecting a Main View, ensure that you select a view that has the level-appropriate ID, as a column, in the view definition. For example, if you are selecting a Main View for a Program (report level), the view must have "program_id", as a column, in the view definition.
- Name
- Click Apply to continue.
When you click Apply, the system processes the information that you have provided and prepares the custom report for publication. As a result of this process, two additional tabs are added to the Custom Report window that require your input:
- Template File tab
The Template File tab lets you upload:
- Multiple templates for the custom report (RTF, PDF, Excel, eText)
- Data model (.XDM) file (for report with external data model)
- Sample Data tab
The Sample Data tab lets you generate the sample XML data which you can use to create layouts for the custom report.
