Overview
A PPF (Publication Parameter File) is the driving force behind getting data from MCS onto a report in a user-friendly way. Files are JavaScript-object based and can include any of the components listed below.
PPF Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| System Use | Required information used by MCS. If this data is missing, the report will not process. |
| Data Sets | Define the data to retrieve from MCS, similar to viewing reports within MCS (time frame, test type, session ID, etc.). |
| Widgets | Display the data using graphs, tables, text, and more. |
| Variables | Define commonly used objects to avoid duplicating the same information. |
| Expressions | JavaScript functions that receive data for calculations, making reports adaptable to the data. |
