IFS Cloud maintains a record of executed reports in a Report Archive. Each time a report is generated, an entry is created containing the assembled data, execution details (user, time etc.), and an expiration date. This archive allows users to re-format data without re-executing the report, improving efficiency.
To prevent excessive data accumulation, the system includes a cleanup process for expired archive entries. Additionally, a PDF Archive stores formatted report documents for easy access and reference.
When the business logic in RDF is executed, it’ll generate an archive item for Report Archive. Essentially, the Report Archive acts as a repository, enabling users to efficiently manage and utilize previously generated reports.
