Cell documents that are attached at the data source can be accessed and printed to reports. The attached documents, (Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents, PDF or .txt documents) print at the end of a PDF or snapshot report. The documents is accessed in the HTML client when drilling into a cell through related content. In addition, footnotes can be inserted into a text object or text cell of the report that lists information about the attached cell documents by selecting the ListOfCellDocuments option from the property sheet.
To include cell documents in a grid’s report, they must exist in Oracle Essbase (Linked Reporting Objects) or Financial Management (cell attachments). The data cell must be selected with the RetrieveCellDocument option. All cell documents have a POV associated with the data cell to which they are attached.
In Oracle Essbase, Linked Reporting Objects are attached through the Excel Add-in. In Financial Management, cell documents are attached through the Financial Management web client. For more information, refer to the respective product’s documentation. |
A data cell can contain multiple cell documents. If a data cell contains cell documents in the Financial Management or Oracle Essbase data source, a designer can extract those documents, based on the given cell’s POV. Cell documents can be attached to reports contained in books and snapshot books.
