Reporting - Books - File (xfDoc)
Hello,
I would like to create a report book that includes several cube views and an xfdoc (ppt cover page).
I added the xfdoc as an application database file and pointed it to the working URL. ...
Hi Sean,
I did some further testing this morning and found you can use '.docx' files and they will work for PDF books. With this being the case, I'd actually recommend using the "Text Editor" page in OneStream. You can utilize dynamic parameters that will present the current date (e.g. '|WFTime|' will return '2022M5'). Below I created a quick example of this. You can see the dynamic parameters pulling in my Workflow time. I just saved this file to the File Explorer with the same '.xfdoc.docx' naming convention and added it to my book as the first file.
Let me know if you have any trouble with this or have any further questions!

OneStream EmployeeHi Sean,
I think the issue is the book is a PDF book. Therefore, it's only going to return PDF docs. If you want a "mixed media" book, (PPT + PDFs), you would need to save it as a "Zip" book (Book.xfdoc.zipbook).
For your purposes here, I would save the ppt as a PDF (CFO Cover.xfdoc.pdf), then use that instead of the 'CFO Cover.xfdoc.pptx'. That should work for you.
Hope this helps!
Hi Kelly! I'm trying todo something similar but using spreadsheet with a cubeview inside (this will have comments after) and add it to a book but i get the blank page too, tried saving it as xfdoc but it did not work, any suggestion? 🙂 Thanks!
