Build the RTF Template

If you modify any component of the predefined data model (datasets, bursting definitions, and so on) or create your own components, you must build a report template that reflects the changes made in the components. You build the template by attaching a representative set of sample data generated from your data model.

Note: Make sure that you’ve installed the Oracle BI Publisher plugin before you begin this task.

1. To get a sample data, access the Joint Interest Billing page in BI Publisher and select the Data tab.
2. Use the filter fields to search for sample data and click View. The sample data is displayed on the page.
3. Click Export to download an XML file containing the sample data. You’ll use this file to build the RTF template.
4. Open a new Microsoft Word file and use the features of the BI Publisher plugin to upload the sample XML file. Save the file in RTF format.
   The RTF template includes the joint interest billing data fields from the data model.
5. Edit the template as needed. Add data fields you want to include in the report, and upload the template to BI Publisher with an appropriate name.
   After the new template is available in BI Publisher, it’s available in the option of the Submit Joint Interest Billing Report process.
