I am generating reports with Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.6. All generated report's file names (excel, word, pdf) are "xdo" (eg. xdo.doc). How can I change report file name to other value? (I mean Report, not Report job).

In simpler words, I click to generate a report, a file xdo.doc is downloaded. I want that file name to be, for example, kitten.doc.

Thank you.

Create the report template as kitten.doc and upload it on Create layout screen. Use the new template as the template. Now when you click to generate the report it should be named as the template. Hoever, If you schedule the report to run and email itself, you can provide a different name in the attachment name field.
