Defining Languages and Output Types
Access the Languages and Output Types form.
- Available Output Types
Select the output types to be available to users when they are submitting the report definition. The type of template attached to the report definition determines which output types are available.
- Default Output Types
Select the default output types that will be selected when the report definition is submitted. Default output types are not enabled unless they are first defined as available output types. If the report definition is defined as blind submission, the default values indicate the type of output that will be produced when the report definition is submitted to BI Publisher.
Note: When you run a report definition, the system does not automatically generate a PDF.- *ALL Active Languages
If this option is selected, all languages for the defined templates, localized templates, and translations that are active will process when a report definition is submitted to BI Publisher. Languages associated with the templates are displayed in the grid.
- User Preference Language
If this option is selected, when a report definition is submitted to BI Publisher and the sign on user's language preference has been defined, the language preference for the sign on user is processed. A user's language preference is defined in the user's system profile. The User Preference Language option is not enabled if *ALL Active Languages is selected.
