Selecting the Schema, Types, and Features for Your Reporting View

Use the Types & Features sheet of the JADE Report Configuration window, shown in the following image, to select the types and features for your reporting view.

Use the panes on the left of the sheet to make your selections and the panes on the right of the sheet to display the types and features that you have selected.

You can define a root collection path only through the types and features that are already selected for a view, and only those types and features selected for a view are reported on through a root collection.

The top-level schema and lowest-level schema that you specified for this view are displayed under the Schemas caption.

The list box in the Classes and Interfaces pane of the Types & Features sheet displays all classes defined for the lowest-level schema up to the highest-level schema for selection. For details about selecting the top-level and lowest-level schemas, see "Creating a New Reporting View" or "Opening a Reporting View", earlier in this chapter. You must first open a view or create a new one. For details, see "Opening a Reporting View" or "Creating a New Reporting View", earlier in chapter.

The following subtopics describe the use of the Types & Features sheet.

You can create a default reporting view that contains all of the types and features of a selected schema. For details, see "Building a Default Reporting View Definition", later in this chapter.

In some cases, this could provide a quicker method of creating a reporting view by including all of the types and features in the view and then simply removing the types and features that are not required.
