BI Publisher One View Report Layouts

After you create the required JD Edwards EnterpriseOne One View report definition, you use Oracle's BI Publisher Layout Editor to design the report layouts. The data items in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne data model appear in the Layout Editor with the same column descriptions as those on the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne form. Therefore, they are easy to identify when you add them to the report layout.

The BI Publisher report layouts define how the data will be presented in the report. A layout consists of a template file and a set of properties for rendering the file. Templates offer common layout structures with specific components, such as charts or tables, already added. When you create a One View report, you can choose from several predefined style templates or you can create a template that includes other design elements, such as your company logo.

To design the layout, select data items from the data model and place them into components in the report template. For example, you could add the data item for Account Balance to the report layout as a chart component or a table column.

After you complete the report layout, the Layout Editor enables you to preview the report and make adjustments before saving the final result.

Note: To modify or create One View reports, users must be authorized to One View Reporting features and have an associated Oracle BI Publisher user ID.
