Additional report properties

Some properties are only used for specific report types, such as the space for a Birst report, but there are some additional properties that are common to all report types. These elements are displayed when you edit any type of report:

  • If you select Set as Default Print for this Page, Infor Public Sector will print the report when you click the Print button on the selected page. This check box is not available if the report that you're editing is a general report.
  • If you select Show under Documents Button, the report will be accessed through a Documents button on the page that it's attached to, rather than the standard Reports button.
  • Select Use for Lookups Only to create a report based on multiple records that you select in a lookup grid. This check box is not available for attachment, file system, or keyword reports, or if the report that you're editing is a general report.

    See Adding reports to lookups.

  • You can use the Access ID field to specify the ID for the permission in Access Control that users will require to view the report.
  • You can use the Formula field to specify a formula that calculates whether the report is added to the page.

    See Allow Report formulas.

  • You can use the Required Component field to specify a business object property that must be populated for the report to be available. For example, if you're editing a work order report, you might specify WorkOrder.CompletedDateTime to indicate that a work order must have a completion date for the report to be available. This field is not available for attachment reports.
  • If the report that you're editing is a general report, use the Business Object Component field to specify the business object that will provide the data for the report. This is necessary for general reports because they aren't connected to specific pages.
