Attachments

Add attachments to the report template or version using the Attachments tab at the top of the Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid (RDA) workspace. Use attachments to explain unique features of the report template. For example, you create a report template using two detail sections. You attach a different business view to each detail section and join the sections on common key fields. On the Attachments tab, explain that you used a subsection join to create the report. Indicate the business view that is attached to each section.

The Attachments workspace is split into two panes. The left pane is the icon pane, and the right pane is the viewer pane. These attachment types are available in the icon pane:

• Text

• Image

• OLE

  These files conform to the OLE standard.

• Shortcut

• URL/File

You can use attachments to provide generic help text for reports that need to be company specific or to document changes that you made to a report. You cannot print attachments with a report; you can only view the attachments in RDA. Attachments are saved as media objects. For example, attachments are beneficial in explaining that the format of a report uses a subsection join to present all of the required information.
