Click the Default tab of the Report Properties dialog. The Default sheet, shown in the following image, is then displayed.
In the Default Output Type group box, select a default output type for the report.
When the report is extracted or run from an application, the output type defaults to the option that you select.
Output type options for your report are as follows.
-
Printer
-
HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
-
Delimiter-separated file
-
Text
-
RTF (Rich Text Format)
-
XML (Extensible Markup Language)
The Output sheet of the Report Formats dialog enables you to set options relating to each extract file format.
In the Output File Name text box, specify the default file name and file location path for the report output. This path must visible when the report is run.
To specify that the output file location path and file name in the Output File Name text box is specified from the perspective of the local (client) workstation, check the Use Client File System check box.
If you do not check this box, the output file path and file name is treated as specified from the perspective of the application server. By default, the output file uses the file system of the client workstation.
The application server executes JADE application logic in JADE thin client mode. It communicates with the JADE database on the server node and one or many presentation (thin) clients; that is, local client workstations.
