PDF Reports Setup
There are two types of setup for the Campus Portal PDF Reports Feature.
Follow the checklist below in order. This checklist provides tasks arranged in a helpful sequence that allow a user to access and start working with these features.
Be sure you have Ghostscript installed and functioning. For JICS 9.x, PDF995 needs to be installed and configured.
Be sure you have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed and functioning.
If you have a previous version of the PDF Reports feature, use the Add/Remove Programs control panel option to uninstall the old version. Uninstalling will leave all the data and configuration intact, including all existing features on any page.
InfoMaker must be configured. Resources for InfoMaker installation and configuration can be found on MyJenzabar.
Verify or configure JICS BASE to Y (Maintain Config Table window).
Verify or create an ID Number (Name Entity and Users windows). A Campus Portal only user does not need to log into J1 Desktop; however, the ID Number is required to allow the Worksheet Administrator to assign the user to the appropriate user group.
Make sure Campus Portal user roles are set up in J1 Desktop and assign users to those roles.
Make sure Campus Portal users are assigned to user roles in the Campus Portal.
Add the Admin PDF Reports feature and PDF Reports feature to new or existing pages.
Warning
Do not place the Admin PDF Reports feature on the Home tab. Putting the Admin feature on the Home tab will result in an error. Place the Admin PDF Reports feature on another page.
Caution
Do not allow the PDF Reports feature to be used on the My Pages tab. Putting the feature on the My Pages tab will open a security risk as a user could then choose any report defined in the Admin PDF feature. Only allow a shortcut of the PDF Reports feature to be used on the My Pages tab.
Set the Campus Portal user access permissions for the feature page.
