Working with the Reports Reporting Solution
Reports is available in Strategic Workforce Planning alongside, and eventually replacing, Financial Reporting. Reports provides a user-friendly, robust report development framework along with an enriched report viewer experience.
Reports also includes books and bursting. Books provide the ability to group together one or more reports, books, and other documents, to generate a single PDF output. The bursting feature enables you to run a single report or book for more than one member of a single dimension for one data source, and publish a PDF output for each member. You can schedule a bursting definition as a Scheduled Job.
Reports, books, and bursting definitions are stored in the repository, along with Documents used and generated with Books and Bursting. For example, MS Word and PDF documents inserted in Books and CSV files used in a bursting definition, along with PDF files generated by a bursting definition.
You can migrate Financial Reporting reports to Reports either with in-place migration where you can migrate all or individual reports, or by importing Financial Reporting report files that were exported locally from the Explore Repository. Please note when migrating, the system will convert as many elements of the original report into the Reports equivalent as possible. However, there are differences between the two solutions, and not all elements exist in both solutions. You may have to modify certain elements after the report has been migrated in order to produce a report that is equivalent to the original report.
Financial Reporting will eventually be removed at some future undetermined date, after you have ample time to migrate your content from Financial Reporting to Reports.
