WebFOCUS Online Help > ReportCaster End User > Report Library > Accessing the Report Library

The Report Library interface provides access to the library content that you have permission to view. In addition to viewing content, you can delete content from the library, and put items on the Library Watch List. The Library Watch List interface, accessed through a tab in the Report Library interface, allows you to track and focus on content that is of special interest to you.

There are several ways to access the Report Library interface:

• From the e‑mail notification sent when a scheduled job runs. E‑mail notification is an option available to you when creating a schedule with output to be distributed to the Report Library. This notification is sent to all recipients with access rights to the content and contains the URL needed to access the content in the Report Library.

  If you receive such an e-mail, open the e-mail and click the link to the library content. When the logon window opens, type your ReportCaster user ID and password. After a successful logon, you are sent directly to the specified output within the Library Content interface. Note that there is a link back to the Library Content interface that enables you to view additional content to which you have access in the library.

• From Managed Reporting Domains environment, click the Report Library icon on the toolbar.
• From the Business Intelligence Dashboard, select Library from the Tools drop-down list. (You can also add the Report Library Interface to a Dashboard Content page.)
• From a browser by typing the following URL:

  http://hostname[:port]/rc_context_root/library/liblogon.jsp

  where:

  hostname[:port]

  Is the host name and optional port number (specified only if you are not using the default port number) of the Application Server where the ReportCaster Web application is deployed.

  rc_context_root

  Is the site customized context root for the ReportCaster Web application deployed on your Application Server. rcaster is the default value.

  When the Report Library logon page opens, type your ReportCaster user ID and password. After a successful logon, you can view all content to which you have access in the Report Library.

  From the WebFOCUS Welcome page, click the Report Library Content option.

• From the WebFOCUS Welcome page, click the ReportCaster, Report Library Content option.

  The WebFOCUS Welcome page is located at the following URL:

  http://hostname[:port]/wf_context_root/welcome.jsp

  where:

  hostname[:port]

  Is the host name and optional port number (specified only if you are not using the default port number) where the WebFOCUS Web application is deployed.

  wf_context_root

  Is the site-customized context root for the WebFOCUS Web application deployed on your Application Server. The default value is ibi_apps.

Note: The Report Library option to change your password for the ReportCaster user ID should not be used when ReportCaster is configured with Managed Reporting. This is because this option only updates the password in the ReportCaster Repository and not the Managed Reporting Repository. If this option is used, the user must also use the Managed Reporting change password option to update the password in the Managed Reporting Repository.

The Report Library interface, shown in the following image, includes two tabs:

• Library Reports, which provides access to all content in the library that you have permission to view. For more information, see Viewing Library Content.
• Watch List, which provides easy access to the latest version of reports that you have chosen to track. For details on the Watch List, see Using the Library Watch List.
