Browsing the documents page
You can distribute a report executable file so that users can generate updated reports using the latest data. A report executable file contains compiled code that specifies how the server generates a report and what data it retrieves for the report. A specific run of a report executable is called a job.
License options determine which reports jobs you can run. When you connect to a repository, you see all the items you can access.
Choose Documents from the side menu to access folders and files in the repository, to display the contents of the current folder. On the documents page, you can choose a folder link to access folder contents. For example, choose Public to see the contents of the Public folder. You can access only your home folder and folders within the public folder.
By default, the documents page organizes the contents of a folder by categories. Depending on the contents of the current folder, you see some, all, or none of the following categories:
n Documents You Can View, which shows the reports you can open for viewing, such as report document (.rptdocument) files.
n Reports You Can Run, which shows the report executable files that you can run to generate new reports, such as report design (.rptdesign) files.Figure 9-2 shows an example Documents page.
