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.

  • Desktop Product

    Be sure you have Ghostscript installed and functioning. For JICS 9.x, PDF995 needs to be installed and configured.

  • Other External Sources

    Be sure you have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed and functioning.

  • Campus Portal Product

    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.

  • Other External Sources

    InfoMaker must be configured. Resources for InfoMaker installation and configuration can be found on MyJenzabar.

  • Desktop Product

    Verify or configure JICS BASE to Y (Maintain Config Table window).

  • Desktop Product

    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.

  • Desktop Product

    Make sure Campus Portal user roles are set up in J1 Desktop and assign users to those roles.

  • Campus Portal Product

    Make sure Campus Portal users are assigned to user roles in the Campus Portal.

  • Campus Portal Product

    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.

  • Campus Portal Product

    Set the Campus Portal user access permissions for the feature page.
