BiLog: Expanding your choices…New V7 Portrait Report Templates Available
Keeping with that trend, we are now enabling you additional choices for your development of V7 reports with the delivery of Portrait Report Templates.
Report Templates are one of a few different ways your report developers can create custom reports in the Version 7 Report Design Tool. Other ways include modifying the delivered reports, or exporting an ad hoc report from the Maximo applications.
When you use the report templates as a starting point for your custom report designs, they already contain for you the required library files and data source to enable the integration between Maximo and reporting. The templates are available in a variety of graph types, and include listing and detail report formats.
Currently, the V7 product delivers landscape templates so the
maximum number of fields can be displayed on a report. However, to enable you additional choices and
increasing flexibility to meet your unique business needs, you can now download
a set of portrait report templates from IBM’s ISM Library. You can download these templates here or by accessing its shortened url at http
Enabling the new portrait report templates is straightforward. Simply extract the zip file located in the ISM library to the Maximo report directory of your report developer. Then, open the BIRT Report Designer, and select New Report. You will then see an updated listing of templates, including both the previous Landscape and New Portrait Templates. The Portrait templates are identified with the text Portrait in their title, like 'Tivoli Maximo Portrait Subreport Template'.
Your selection of a landscape versus portrait report template impacts the amount of page area available to you horizontally. Landscape reports enable 10” of field space horizontally versus 7.5” of field space with letter size paper.  You can view additional details and on report page size and
orientation on this wiki page or by accessing its shortened url at http New features in V7 reporting continually enable you additional
report choices……but for your apple pie selection...we would suggest yes...with a scoop of cold, vanilla ice cream! |
