Report XML template (FsWebReportTemplate.xml)

Optiva provides a template for the XML job file, named FsWebReportTemplate.xml. The report template is a starting point for report information and can be configured for the requirements of different reports. A report XML file defines report file properties, object and parameter data. Itidentifies the schemas that define the data types of all the fields in this file. There is a schema for the fields in the report file itself and a separate schema for each object in the file. The report XML file also includes the object data and is used during run-time to produce the report.

The report XML file is also known as a job file because it is used at run-time to run the report.

An empty sample report XML template (FsWebReportTemplate.xml) is installed into Inetpub\wwwroot\FsWebReports\Source.
