ListOfCellDocuments

ListOfCellDocuments is only available with Financial Management or Oracle Essbase as the database connection.

ListOfCellDocuments is a text function that returns a list of all cell documents and their file attributes that a designer has selected to be retrieved from cells within a report. You can use this function in a text box, text cell or text cell heading.

In Financial Management or Oracle Essbase, documents are inserted into the data source cells of a report. The Financial Reporting designer selects the cells and chooses Retrieve Cell Documents on the property sheet. If those documents exist, they are appended to the report when printed or saved as a snapshot or PDF. to view the list of cell documents that exist, the designer adds the ListOfCellDocuments to the report in a text box, text cell or text cell heading.

The function syntax is:

<<ListOfCellDocuments (“GridName, FileName&Description&PageNumber)>>

GridName

The name of a grid in the report.

FileName

Note:

Documents extracted from the Financial Management database connection, are truncated to 20 characters; 16 characters for the document name, and 4 characters for the file name extension.

Description

PageNumber

Returns the consecutive start page number of each cell document within the report. This is not necessarily the page number specified on the document.

Page numbers only display when selecting PDF format for print or web preview.

Example:

In the following example, two grids in the report are selected to print cell document information. In Grid1, the file name, description, and the consecutive start page number of the extracted cell documents are requested, in Grid2 only the file name and start page numbers are requested.

<<ListOfCellDocuments (“Grid1“, FileName&Description&PageNumber)>>
