BI Publisher Webinar - Part 1

Simon Tomey of BeLife will be running a Webinar for BI Publisher at the following times on the 30th May 2008:

• 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM GMT - Register Here
• 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM GMT - Register Here

A short description of the webinar:

Oracle XML/BI publisher is possibly the richest new piece of functionality in E-business suite and certainly the easiest to implement. It means you can forget the text based reports you have been struggling with and delight your users with clean attractively formatted documents and spreadsheets.

This series of webinars will include some ‘quick wins’ and the steps to building and customising great XML output. Simon will demonstrate how to:

• implement the templates which already exist in your system
• convert GL reports to produce clean MS Excel output
• build templates to create documents and spreadsheets (such as dunning letters, customer open balance letters, remittance advices and listings).
• include tables, logos, pictures, headers and footers, first and last page only content, and conditional statements (e.g. if..then).
• Apply some tricks (e.g. getting different XML reports from the same output file)

The first in this series of presentations will cover the seven steps to producing a BI publisher report using a very simple example. I recommend you download the slides from Simon’s presentation. The BI Publisher Webinar will have several parts and Part 1 will cover the first 36 slides of the presentation. 

Note: If you’re unable to attend the webinar live a recording of the session will be available for subsequent download and playback.
