Report Component

In this section:

The Report Component lets you create a report template for your users. You use Report Assistant to create the report and save it as a Reporting Object. When a user selects the Reporting Object in the browser's Domains reporting environment, Report Assistant opens and displays the report template you created. Users can modify the template to create a report that suits their needs and then save the new report.

If you have finished working with the components of the Reporting Object, remember to click Done in the Reporting Object window to save the changes.

See the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting End User's Manual for more information about Report Assistant.

Syntax: How to Customize the Background and Text Colors for Report and Graph Assistant
  1. Open the following file in a text editor:

    \ibi_html\javaassist\ibi\html\assist\rpasstie.css

  2. Create a backup copy before you make any changes.
  3. Apply your changes only to the background color and color variables. For example, you can replace the color codes as follows:
    BODY{
/* background-color: C0C0C0;  */  /* silver */
background color: Blue;
margin: 0;
}
BODY, A {
/* color: #000000; */
color: white;
}

Tip: Retain the original style with comments /* */ to change colors back to the default.

Reference: Rules for Customizing the CSS

The following are some basic rules for customizing the CSS file:

  • Styling changes are made only in the CSS files.
  • It is not necessary to edit JSPs.
  • If you make a change in one CSS file, it applies to both the Report and Graph Assistant.
  • You can only change the background and font colors, other changes are not supported.
  • Color changes should not affect toolbars, menus, input boxes, icons, and text.

There is no migration utility for CSS changes.
