IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.+            

Modifying ReportDefinitions.xml

You can modify the ReportDefinition.xml file to arrange the display order of reports.

The ReportDefinition.xml file is located in the configuration folder for IBM® Enterprise Records. The default location is <ier_install_path>\Config.

For new or existing reports, modify these sections in the ReportDefinition.xml file:

Arrange display order of reports

By organizing the id values in the array for a data model, you can customize the order in which IBM Enterprise Records displays the available reports in the Reports tab.

To arrange the order in which IBM IBM Enterprise Records displays reports:

  1. Use an XML editor to open ReportDefinitions.xml.
  2. Locate the array for the data model you use in your file plan object store.
  3. Arrange the id values in the order that you want IBM Enterprise Records to display the reports. For example:
    <array key="dodClassifiedReports">   
    		<value>21<value>
      	<value>3<value>    
    		<value>2<value>
       	<value>1<value>  
    </array>

    IBM Enterprise Records displays report id 21, followed by 3, 2, and 1.

  4. Save ReportDefinitions.xml.
  5. Restart the web application server where IBM Enterprise Records runs for the changes to take effect.
