Authoring Doclets in Smart View
As a doclet author, you provide report content in Oracle Smart View for Office. The authoring process follows this workflow:
-
Check out the doclet, reference doclet, or supplemental doclet.
-
Update the doclets.
Some suggested Smart View content development tasks:
-
Copy and paste data points or data ranges, using Smart View Copy and Paste commands from Office-based documents and doclets into Word-based or PowerPoint-based doclets, as described in Copying Data Between Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
-
Use the Office copy and paste commands to copy Smart View data and then import Smart View metadata, as follows:
-
Use the PowerPoint copy and paste commands to copy a slide or presentation into a PowerPoint-based doclet or supplemental doclet, then import the metadata from the original slide or presentation into the doclet, as described in Importing Metadata into Copied Worksheets
-
Use the Word copy and paste commands to copy Smart View artifacts from Word documents, then import the metadata from the original document into the doclet, as described in Importing Metadata into Copied Word Documents.
-
Use the Excel copy and paste commands to copy Smart View artifacts from Excel worksheets, and import the metadata from the original worksheet into a reference doclet, as described in Importing Metadata into Copied Worksheets
-
-
In Excel regular doclets in PDF-based report packages, edit sheet content. Additionally, you can specify the sheets to include in the final report package. See Working with Excel Doclets in PDF-based Report Packages.
