Linking Reports to Object Types

Designer 10.5 | Centrasite Eclipse UI Help | Tasks | Working with Reports | Linking Reports to Object Types

Predefined reports and custom reports that you have deployed or imported to CentraSite can be linked to object types in the registry. A report linked to an object type can be previewed from any object of this type in the CentraSite Eclipse GUI.

To view the predefined and custom reports that are available in CentraSite:

In the Administration View, single-click or double-click the Report Templates entry, depending on the selection mode you have set for the view. This displays the reports that are currently available in the Contents View.

To link reports to an object type

1. In a Views, select the object type to which you want to link one or more reports.

2. Select Link Reports from the type's context menu.

3. In the Select Object Dialog dialog, select the reports you want to link to the object type.

4. Click OK to confirm the selection.

Technically, a report assignment to an object type is an association of the Uses type between the registry object representing the report and the registry object representing the object type. You can unlink a report from an object type by Removing Associations Between Objects the corresponding association.
