PUBLISH BOOK TEMPLATE

Creating or modifying a template consists of the following steps:

1
Enter a name for the template.
Section definition. A template can include one or more sections. A section is a part of the template. Each
section includes at least a selection of variable dimension members. When launching the report generation,
you will be able to select the sections of the template you want to take into account.

Note

1 The tab of a section has no name until you enter it in the Section Name area.
Enter a name for the section. The entered name is displayed on the section tab.
Report workbook selection. Select the workbook containing the reports you want to generate using the
current template.

Note

The workbooks you select must contain reports that have the same connection as the template.
1

Enter a description for the workbook you have selected.

2 Dimension member selection:
One or more dimensions for which one or several members are variables. For a specific dimension, the
members selected as variables will override the members if the dimension is displayed in the page axis or in
the context of the report. One report is created for each member selected.
One or more dimensions for which only one member is fixed. This is optional. A fixed member overrides any
other member of the same dimension that is part of the report in the context or the page axis. For example,
if you select the period 2009 as a fixed member and the period 2008 is displayed in the page axis of the
report, 2009 will be taken into account.

Note

A suppressed member behaves exactly like a fixed member, but this feature remains for historical reasons.

Note

You cannot select fixed, suppressed and variable members for one dimension. All of them are mutually
exclusive.
3 In the published reports, the members will be displayed according to the following precedence
rule:
members in the row and column axes.
members selected as fixed members or as variable members in the publication template.
members in the page axis.
members in the context.
