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

• Developer Studio MR Component, Dashboard, and Domain Builder Applet. These tools enable you to create Standard Reports that users run, launch pages that make those reports available on the Web, and Reporting Objects for users to create their own reports. The Managed Reporting Repository supports long file names (up to 64 characters) for My Reports, Standard Reports, Reporting Objects, and Other files.

  For more repository file name information, see Repository File Name Processing in the Additional Administration Topics chapter of the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual. For more Domain Builder information, see the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.

• Managed Reporting Administration. This tool enables you to configure user access to Managed Reporting by specifying the user profiles, roles, and domains that users can access. Grouping users and domains ensures that users can access the information they need, while protecting sensitive or confidential data. Managed Reporting Administration is only available to administrators and limited functionality is available for developers that are assigned the Group Administrator privilege. For more information, see the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.
• ReportCaster. This is an optional tool that enables you to schedule the execution of Standard Reports, and distribute the information directly to the people who need it, on time, automatically. ReportCaster requires ReportCaster Administrator privileges.

  For more information, see the ReportCaster Administration manual

• Two-Way Email. This tool enables mobile business professionals to request and receive WebFOCUS reports through e-mail, using a handheld device, laptop, or desktop.

  For more information about Two-Way Email administration, see Two-Way Email Administration in the Two-Way Email manual.

• Data Servers. This component lets you create, access, and use data source descriptions and procedure files that reside on the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. The Data Servers component contains the stored procedures and Master Files called by the reports that you create. The Domain Builder in the browser and the Explorer in Developer Studio display the Data Servers component in a hierarchical, tree-like structure.

  Note: If you are a developer using the browser, or you are not using the full edition of Developer Studio and you do not have the Data Server privilege, the Data Servers node is hidden. Developers with the Data Server privilege can view and edit the Server and Application path properties on a Domain. Without the Data Server privilege, developers can only view these properties.

• Domains. These reside on the Web server in the Managed Reporting Repository and are used to build and test Standard Reports, Reporting Objects, and the Web pages that launch those procedures. Each domain that you create (in the browser accessing either the MR Administration Tool or MR Applet Domain Builder, or access the full Developer Studio) contains a group of folders for the different types of objects you create for Managed Reporting users.

The following image shows the Developer Studio window with the standard Windows menu bar and two rows of toolbar. The window is then divided into two sections, the left section displays the hierarchical structure of the objects created for Managed Reporting users and the right section contains the available domains.
