Understanding Report Director Templates

The Director uses Report Director templates to aid you in designing reports. In addition to creating group, columnar, and tabular sections, the Director uses templates to help you create application reports, such as:

• Financial reporting

• Fixed assets

• Job cost

The Report Director templates guide you through the design process by presenting parameters that are relative to the specific application type. These Report Director templates, included with Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, contain default criteria. When you select one of the templates in the Director, the system reads the template specifications, stored in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables, and presents the default criteria through the Director forms. Report Directors are similar to the Director that you use when creating columnar or group section report templates.

This table describes the template specifications that are stored in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables:
