You create a report
template XML definition file to describe your user-defined report.
After you create the report template, upload the template to the SAS
Content Server.
SAS Decision Manager
provides a sample report template that you can use as a model for
your XML template. You can use any template as a model or you can
create an XML file with the required XML elements. A best practice
is to open the model XML template and save the template using another
name.
To open a sample report
template:
-
From the Projects category,
click
, and select
Manage Templates.
-
Select
UserReportTemplate.xml and
click
. The UserReportTemplate.xml file has arguments in
quotation marks that you modify for your report. Replace the text
in quotation marks with values that are appropriate for your report.
See the argument descriptions below. Make your changes and click
Save to
upload the report template to the SAS Content Server.
