9.Report Templates Vs Batch Versions

A)Report templates are master specifications of the report. It defines the data used, how the data is

Selected , sorted, displayed, and formatted etc.

Batch versions read the master specifications from the associated report template and over ride one or more specification of the report template like:

• Section layout

• Section data selection

• Section event rules

• Section database output

• Section sort sequence

This concept allows creating requirement specific reports (versions) without touching the Master (i.e Report Template). Basically you create one report template and create multiple version by overriding the specifications.

Report Power points:

·      Report template is a Master specification

·      Batch version is a child i.e business need based customization of the Master
