Configure Custom Fields
Explanation
Custom fields offer a way to extend the data displayed in IFS Cloud reports. They can be added to existing reports and used within report layouts.
- Creation: Custom fields are defined within the report definition and can be added to report layouts. Every report that should be custom fields enabled must be modified in the RDF-file. Reports not changed will not have custom fields available. Customers have to edit the layout to show custom fields on the actual printout.
- Data Inclusion: By default, custom fields are included in report data (XML), but this can be disabled for performance reasons.
- Report tool Integration: Custom fields appear in the Report Designer/Report Studio for layout creation and customization.
- Enabling Custom Fields: Most standard reports already support custom fields, but custom reports may require specific configuration.
Essentially, custom fields provide flexibility in tailoring reports to meet specific user requirements without modifying the underlying report structure.
Prerequisites
- The selected report should be an operational report.
- The user should be granted with required Permission sets(FND_ENDUSER/FND_DEVELOPER/FND_DESIGNER_REPORT).
- Required report projections must be included in the granted permission sets.
- ** To add custom fields to reports or to use the Report Designer on-line mode a developer should have necessary access privileges to access certain forms and logical units. Therefore, a user should have the
FND_ENDUSER and FND_DEVELOPER roles assigned.
