1. In the WebFOCUS77\worp\conf directory, open the bid-config.xml file in a text editor.
2. Find the following lines to hide Standard Reports, Shared Reports, Reporting Objects, My Reports, and Other Files:

   <internal-var name="hideStandardReportsFromTheseRoles" value=""/>

   <internal-var name="hideSharedReportsFromTheseRoles" value=""/>

   <internal-var name="hideReportingObjectsFromTheseRoles" value=""/>

   <internal-var name="hideMyReportsFromTheseRoles" value=""/>

   <internal-var name="hideOtherFilesFromTheseRoles" value=""/>

3. To hide report types in the Domain Tree, add one or more role types to the value variable.

   For example, to show only Standard Reports for any user ID set to the "#User" role type, enter the following:

   <internal-var name="hideSharedReportsFromTheseRoles" value="#User"/>

   <internal-var name="hideReportingObjectsFromTheseRoles" value="#User"/>

   <internal-var name="hideMyReportsFromTheseRoles" value="#User"/>

   <internal-var name="hideOtherFilesFromTheseRoles" value="#User"/>

   Note:

   • If the value is set to a role HREF, any user ID that has that role will not see the specified report or file type in Dashboard. You can determine the HREF for a role by looking at the basedir/role.htm file. To specify more than one role, separate the role HREFs by a comma and no spaces.
   • Default role types include: #User, #RunOnlyUser, #LibraryOnlyUser, #AnalyticalUser, #Developer, #ContentManager, #MRAdministrator, and #PowerUser. For more information about user types, see User Roles Defined.
   • Because Other Files are hidden by default from all user roles except the Developer role, the Managed Reporting Administrator role, and any custom role based on either of these two roles, you can effectively hide Other Files from only the previously mentioned roles.
4. Save and close the file.

After making changes to the bid-config.xml file, use the WebFOCUS Console to clear memory cache or restart the application. Until this is done, the changes are not effective.

In Dashboard, you can customize the Domain Tree to display or hide any or all of the available report and file types (Standard Reports, Shared Reports, My Reports, Reporting Objects, and Other Files) for all users of all role types by using the “ALL-ROLES” value in the existing bid-config.xml file, as shown in the following procedure.
