The Cover Page

The cover page of a report includes information regarding the report and each section of the report. In Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid (RDA), you can select the items to be included in the cover page on the report properties form. From the File menu, select Report Properties and on the Properties form, select the Cover Page Options tab. On the Cover Page Options tab, select the Print Cover Page option to activate the list of items from which you can select.

To print the cover page of a report, you must also select the Print Cover Page option on the Version Detail form for the batch version. The Version Detail form is accessed from the Row menu of the Work with Batch Versions - Available Versions form.

The cover page prints prior to the report. Once you have selected the Print Cover Page option, the cover page prints every time that the batch version is submitted on the Microsoft Windows client. You must return to the Version Detail form to clear the selection if you no longer want the cover page to print.
