Edit a custom form before you assign it to a job. To edit a form after it is assigned to a job, download it, change it, and upload it to the repository. An edited standard form is uploaded as a custom form.
Production Reporting parameter forms contain JSP tags or scriptlets that graphical HTML editors cannot display correctly. However, the tags are designed so that you can use some graphical HTML editors to modify layouts. Before using an editor, ensure that it does not alter code.
Using an editor to modify a parameter form requires knowledge of Production Reporting parameter-form API and JSP tags. When editing a parameter form, keep the scriplet code blocks together. Otherwise, it may not work correctly.
To edit a parameter form, use a nongraphical HTML editor, such as Macromedia Homesite. Be careful not to alter the JSP tags.
To edit a parameter form:
In the browser, navigate to the Production Reporting job, right-click the job name and select Properties.
Download the standard form, or browse your PC or the repository for a custom form.
If editing the standard form, specify a location for saving an editable copy, and enter a name for the new custom form.
