Associating Report Template with Object Types
Note:
This functionality applicable only to CentraSite Control has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
You can associate a report template to multiple object types. When you do this, you can generate a report for the objects that are classified by the object types associated with this template.
The following general guidelines apply when associating a template with multiple object types:
*You can either select the check boxes for the object types individually, or select them all by using the All Object Types check box.
*By default, CentraSite displays the All Object Types check box as selected. When this check box is selected, the check boxes for the list of object types are automatically displayed as selected and disabled.
This default selection does not associate the template with the selected object types. Instead, it only allows the template to be applied to the selected object types (that is, CentraSite allows you to generate reports for the objects that are classified by the associated object types).
*If you clear the All Object Types check box and select ALL of the object types as selected, then there does not exist an association and the taxonomy is applicable to all of the selected object types.
*If you clear the All Object Types check box and the list of ALL the object types, then there does not exist an association and the taxonomy is still applicable to all the object types.
*To associate a report template with object types
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Reports > Report Templates.
2. Right-click a report template you want to associate with object types, and click Details.
3. In the Report Template Details page, click the Applicable to Object Types tab.
4. Select one or more object types you want to associate with this template.
Note:
To associate the report template with all asset types (including new asset types that might be added to the registry in the future), enable the All Asset Types option. Note that this option associates the template with asset types only. It does not associate the template with non-asset types, such as Organizations, Users, and Taxonomies, which can also be used with report templates.
5. Click Save.
