Define a configured report for base object selection and publication

To define a configured report to provide both a report for selection of objects and an interface to trigger publications:

1. In the Reports tab of Alfabet Expand, either:
   • Create a new configured report that allows the data to be selected for which you would like to trigger publication, or
   • Go to an existing report that matches the required configuration and make sure that the State attribute is set to Plan.

   Definition of configured reports returning a tabular dataset is not yet provided for Alfabet 11. Consult the documentation of Alfabet 10.15 for information about definition of reports

2. Right-click the configured report and select Add Publication.
3. In the selector that opens, select one or multiple publication configurations that should be triggered from the configured report. A folder Publications is added to the configured report with the publication configurations added as sub-nodes to the folder.

   To add additional publication configurations to the configured report, right-click the Publications folder and select Add Publication.

   To remove a publication configuration from the configured report, right-click the publication configuration node in the Publications folder and select Detach Publication.

4. Right-click the configured report and select Add Publication Control. A new window opens.
5. In the Add Publication Control window, select the position of the publication interface in the configured report with the Dock attribute.
6. In the toolbar of Alfabet Expand, click the Save   button.
