What's the difference between templates, reports, and documents?

A template is a resource that a report designer creates in Rational Publishing Engine Document Studio using data source schemas, variables and styles. Templates have the file extension .dta.

A report is assembled from one or more templates or stylesheets. Templates correspond to sections of a report. For example, you might have different templates for table of contents, front cover, body, index, and back cover. These templates can be reused in different documents.

A document is generated from a report. Users can find reports that the report designer created and then generate documents with a single click. Documents can be in Microsoft Word, HTML, PDF or XSL-FO formats.
