WebFOCUS enables application developers and Web designers to create powerful decision-support applications and Enterprise Information Systems that deliver easy access to the information that users need, regardless of hardware platforms, data source structures, or application programs. Developers can create sophisticated Web pages that enable end users to view static reports, run dynamic reports, and create parameterized queries for individual requests.

The WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard is an HTML-based thin client that enables you to create a customized user interface to access WebFOCUS Managed Reporting.

When you connect to Dashboard you are also connecting to WebFOCUS Managed Reporting, which means all of the Standard Reports and Reporting Objects that are available in Managed Reporting are also available in Dashboard.

You define and manage your WebFOCUS environments from the WebFOCUS Environment Properties dialog box in Developer Studio. You access this dialog box from either the WebFOCUS Environments node in the Explorer or from the Environments List dialog box.
