Using WebFOCUS Report
Components
WebFOCUS Report components consist of content blocks
that appear when you log on to your portal environment. These
blocks can contain launched reports, links to reports, or links
to Internet resources.
There are three types of content blocks:
-
Launch blocks
contain only one item. When the Report component loads, this
item automatically launches (or runs) within the designated component
area.
-
List blocks contain
links to items from one or many domains. You can run a report
or access an Internet resource by clicking an item from the list.
This list appears in the designated component area.
-
Folder blocks contain
the entire contents of a folder (including its subfolders) that
have been created in the designated component area. When the contents
of a folder are modified, the folder block in the component is
automatically updated to reflect any changes.
When you create a content block, you select the type of block
(launch or list), the contents of the block, and the layout
of the blocks.

From the WebFOCUS Report Pagelet window, you can edit
existing content blocks. When you click the Select
Reports link, the name of the content block and
its attributes appear in the Select Reports window. You can edit
the block type and the block contents.
