Library Management

How to:

The Library Management tool enables ReportCaster Administrators to manage content in the Report Library database tables. This tool allows you to view a summary list of the reports within the library and delete content from the library, regardless of the content owner, but you cannot view the actual contents of a report in this interface.

To access the Library Management tool from the ReportCaster Development and Administration Interface, click the Library Management link, click the Library Management icon in the toolbar, or select Library Management from the Tools menu.

The ReportCaster - Library Management window opens with the Categories and Domains nodes appearing in the left pane, and the total number of Categories and Domains listed in the right pane, as shown in the following image.

Note: Depending on the content in the library, the left pane displays either both the Domains node (which contains Managed Reporting Standard Reports and My Reports content) and the Categories node (which contains WF Server Procedures, the contents of URLs, and files) or one of these nodes.

From the ReportCaster - Library Management window, you can:

Procedure: How to View a List of Content in the Report Library
  1. In the left pane, expand the Categories or Domains globe under which the content is stored. Categories contain WF Server Procedures, the contents of URLs, and files. Domains contain Managed Reporting Standard Reports and My Reports content. The following image shows two Managed Reporting domains that contain library content.

  2. Expand a specific category or domain (for example, Sales). A list of all content currently contained in the Report Library for the selected category or domain appears.

    • Category/Domain. The high-level folder name in the library.
    • Domain Href. The HREF of the domain under which the procedure is stored. This field only appears for Managed Reporting Standard Reports and My Reports.
    • Description. The name of the scheduled job.
    • Owner. The user ID that created the scheduled job.
    • Schedule ID. The internal name of the scheduled job assigned by ReportCaster.
    • Burst. Valid values are Y (Yes) and N (No). If a burst report is distributed to the Report Library, then each burst value is saved as a separate report.
    • Access List. The name of the Access List, if one has been assigned.
    • Last Version. The most current version of the content.
    • Last Execution. The last time the scheduled job ran.
  3. Once you have opened a specific category or domain, you can view information about reports within the category or domain.

    The following image shows the information displayed for either burst reports or non‑burst content.

    • Version. The version of a particular report in the library.
    • Execution Time. The time that the scheduled job was run.
    • Expiration. The date until which the report will be stored in the library.
    • Size. The size (in bytes) of the report. If the report is compressed, this is the size (in bytes) of the report before compression.
    • Format. The format of the content (for example, HTML).
    • Ratio. The percentage that the file has been reduced from its original size.
    • Compressed Size. The size (in bytes) of the compressed report. This field is empty if the report is not compressed.
