Using Managed Reporting

As a Managed Reporting administrator or developer, use the following tools to create and manage the Managed Reporting user environment:

Using the Managed Reporting Applet Interface Toolbar

The WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Domain Builder and Domains environments both provide access to the toolbar.

The Managed Reporting toolbar contains the tools required to create, test, edit, and publish report procedures and Web launch pages. Using the toolbar, you can create the metadata for data sources, build the reports that retrieve and format that data, and generate Web pages that enable users to run the reports. The following image shows the Managed Reporting toolbar.
