defaultOutput(searchPath)

object-set defaultOutput(searchPath)

The defaultOutput function returns at least one output object.

searchPath is a search path that selects a report, reportView, or query object.

The function selects an output object that is a descendant of the object selected by searchPath. Content Manager selects only the following:

• output objects that are children of the most recent reportVersion object

• output objects that the current user can read

If any of these objects has a locale property value that matches the contentLocale user preference of the current session, Content Manager selects only these objects.

If any of these objects has a defaultOutputFormat property value that matches the format user preference of the current session, Content Manager selects only these objects.

Only one object is returned. If more than one object is selected, the function arbitrarily chooses a single object to return.

For example, the following search path selects the report object named Customer Invoice and returns the appropriate output object:

defaultOutput(/content/package/folder[@name='Sample Reports']/report[@name='Customer Invoice'])
