Understanding Text Attachments in Reports

You can design reports to display the text attachments that are attached to records. This enables you to present in a report the same text attachments that are available in the interactive applications. These text attachments are also considered media objects.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne uses media object data structures to associate records with their text attachments. You can use Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Object Management Workbench to view a list of all media object data structures (object type GT). Media object data structures are called in event rules using system functions. After you select a media object system function, you must define these parameters:

• Action

  Select the <Get Text> action for a media object text attachment.

• Text

  Select the name of the field that you inserted into the report section to display the text attachment.

• Associated fields

  Map null, literal values or fields from the report template with the data items that are included in the data structure. These fields are required to ensure that the correct text attachment appears with the correct record in the report section.
