Business value

Customers can easily produce editable documents derived from RDL-based design definitions. Standard application solutions are provided to give users access to predefined business views of Finance and Operations apps data. In addition to PDF, CSV, and other Office formats, users can now begin exporting Word documents using built-in controls.

Feature details

Finance and Operations apps functionality has expanded the native print destination options available for application reports. The service now allows customers to select Word as the target format for documents rendered by the service. Reports produced as Word documents are immediately downloaded to the user's browser once they have been rendered by the cloud-hosted service. Requests for multiple Word documents are delivered to the browser in a compressed ZIP package file.
