Creating Standard Reports in Dashboard

How to:

By default, administrators and developers can create Standard Reports in Dashboard with any of the available reporting tools. Additionally, they can create new folders under Standard Reports and set properties at the Standard Report level. However, new domains can only be created in the Managed Reporting Administration interface. If for some reason an administrator or developer does not have this capability, they can be enabled for all views by editing a variable setting in the bid-config.xml file or enabled for specific views using the Dashboard View Builder.

Procedure: How to Enable the Creation of Standard Reports in All Views

To enable administrators and developers to create Standard Reports in all Dashboard views:

  1. In the WebFOCUS76\worp\conf directory, open the bid-config.xml file in a text editor.
  2. Edit the following variable to change it from: 
    <internal-var name="enableExtendedMenu" value="false"/>

    to

Note: After making changes to the bid-config.xml file, use the WebFOCUS Console to clear memory cache, or restart the application. Until this is done, the changes are not effective.
