Home > Online Product Documentation > Table of Contents > Process Summary Process SummaryThe process of building an XML Publisher report involves the following basic steps:
1. Create a new XML Publisher report document (
File > New > XML Report).
2. Choose the report format (HTML or PDF). See
Choosing a Report Format.
3. Add the source documents you want to use for the report's content. See
Working with Data Sources.
4. Add the components you want in your report - data, as well as formatting constructs like lists and tables - to the XML Publisher canvas. See
Adding Data to a Report.
5. Optionally, format the data you have added to the XML Publisher canvas. See
Formatting Components.
6. Preview the report; adjust data and formatting as required.
Once you are satisfied with the XML Publisher report, you can generate XQuery or XSLT code for the report, choosing your desired report format (HTML or XSL-FO). Each of these steps is described in greater detail in the following sections. |
