Registering reports

Note:  If you click Cancel at any stage of the report registration process, the process is canceled and the report is not registered. If you navigate away from the Report Registration Wizard during the registration process (for example, you close the browser without clicking Cancel), your report may be registered but incomplete. If this happens, you must manually remove the report from the application.
  1. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Toolkit > Report Registration Wizard.
  2. Click Register a new report and then select the report that you want to add.
  3. Click Next.
    The Integrate with the system page is displayed.
  4. Specify this information:
    Report Name
    Specify the report name up to a maximum of 40 characters. The name cannot refer to any existing registered report. The default report name is the same as the name of the saved report in Cognos.
    Note: When registering reports you should use the default report name to prevent issues when collecting data from Cognos. These reports rely on the default report name to gather data from Cognos. If you change the report name, the report can not find any data within Cognos.

    If you do not use the default report name, you will not be able to select the report name when running the following three audit reports:

    • Execution History Detailed
    • Execution History by User
    • Report Usage History
    Report Description
    Optionally, specify a description of the report. This description is displayed when the user selects the report in the application.
    Pre-Processing Task
    Optionally, specify a fully qualified Java class name that performs prerequisite tasks before executing the report. When you click Next, a warning message is displayed if the specified Java class name is invalid. This message does not prevent you from continuing with the report registration process.
    Report Location
    Specify where in the application you want the report link to be listed. The report location defaults to My Reports in the application menu.
    Note: For burst reports, the report location should be set to Hidden Never Show. Burst reports can only be executed through a scheduled job and viewed in the Launch Pad using the Cognos Widget.
    Report User Security
    Specify the appropriate security permissions for each user group defined in the application. By default, all security groups are set to EDIT.
  5. Click Next.
    These parameter localizations are performed:
    • An exact name lookup is performed for the application fields that correspond to the report.
    • The report parameters are set to default to StringUI fields, and all other parameters are set to default to HiddenUI fields.

      After the parameter localizations are complete, the Configure the Report Parameters page is displayed with the Config Mode turned on. If you do not have Config Mode permissions, a message is displayed. Contact your system administrator for assistance.

  6. Use the Configure the Report Parameters page to configure the report parameters using the orange configuration diamond and key icons. The bottom half of the screen shows how your report is displayed to the end user. Click Refresh at any time to preview your changes.
    See "Using config mode" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.
  7. Click Next. The Registration Summary page is displayed.
  8. Optionally, select the Go to registered report option to go to the report's parameter page after registering the report.
  9. Click Save to register the report, if you are satisfied with the results.
    If you are not satisfied with the results, click Previous to return to the Configure Report Parameters page to continue configuring the report.
  10. Click OK.
