Report Objects
A report object is a type of content in a report. Report objects represent most of the content of your report in CDM.
There are five types of report objects: Excel object, Word object, PowerPoint object, PDF object, and Web Page object. Depending on the kind of content that you want to add to your report, you must select the appropriate type of report object. For example, if you want to insert columns of data, an Excel object would be appropriate; if you want to add paragraphs of text, a Word object would be more suitable.
For Excel objects, Word objects, and PowerPoint objects, you work in the report object in exactly the same way that you would work in Microsoft™ Excel, Word, or PowerPoint. Certain functionality might not be available unless your administrator provides you with access.
You can work with CDM in Arabic and Hebrew, if you prefer. These languages are considered bidirectional because the main text direction is right-to-left, but some content should appear left-to-right. You can display certain types of content in the direction that you prefer in your user interface in Arabic or Hebrew. You can also apply digit shaping to numbers in your user interface in Arabic. If you want, you can apply similar preferences to your Excel, Word, and PowerPoint objects. For more information, see the Microsoft documentation.
