Distributing Reports for Scopes Based on Tree Nodes

If your scope is defined based on PeopleSoft tree nodes, you can attach routing information to the tree that can be used for bursting PS/nVision reports.

The following section provides an example how to distribute PS/nVision reports for scopes based on tree nodes. The basic steps include:

1. Clone tree node table—create record DEPT_NODE_TBL.

2. Clone tree node page—create page DEPT_NODE_TBL.

3. Grant access to tree node pages.

4. Update tree structures to use the new node table and node page.

5. Populate routing information.

6. Link routing information into PS/nVision.

In this example, you have a scope DIVISIONS with scope field DEPTID based on the node table in DEPARTMENTS tree. The tree structure for DEPARTMENTS tree is DEPTID. In tree structure DEPTID, the node table is TREE_NODE_TBL, the node page is DEPARTMENT, and the detail field is DEPTID.
