You can create URLs to webpages and store them within the repository. These URLs can further enhance analytics, by providing an additional interactive context to your data. You can run a URL straight from your repository, use it in a portal, or add it to a personal page. If your URL is optimized for use in an iFrame, you can embed it within a container on a page. You can also publish and share a URL to make it available to other users and groups.
You can create shortcuts to repository files and Master files. Once a shortcut to a Master file is created, you can use it to build visualizations and reports. Once a shortcut to a repository file is created, you can copy, delete, edit, and run this item. You can also publish and share your shortcuts to make them available for other users and groups.
Note: Only users with the opShortcut privilege are able to create shortcuts. For more information on privileges, see the WebFOCUS Security and Administration technical content.
WebFOCUS provides an intuitive search functionality that allows you to quickly access content across the repository. Using a text bar found on the WebFOCUS Home Page, you can enter a search term to quickly display all content items that match that term. The interactive search engine updates the suggestions as you type, so you can find the desired item fast.
With the WebFOCUS search feature, you can:
You can create a list of favorites to easily access the items that are most important to you. When you save content as a favorite, it automatically appears in the Favorites area of the Home view. Here, you can interact with your content and view its properties.
You can drag and drop folders or files from the content area to other folders within the content area, or to other folders within the repository tree. You can also drag and drop folders from the repository tree to other folders within the repository tree, or to other folders within the content area.
Your Home Page is the central location for all WebFOCUS tasks. Setting it up in a way that is convenient, secure, and efficient helps you get the most out of your work. The Workspaces view of the Home Page opens the content area and provides access to the available workspaces. Workspaces and folders that are located in the Resources tree organize all of your content items. Authorized users can create additional workspaces or folders, as well as customize the default structure of their view.
The Home Page is the default landing page that opens when you first sign in to WebFOCUS. It serves as a centralized place for working with your data, creating, organizing, and sharing content, scheduling reports and procedures, and performing administrative tasks. These functions are controlled by the permissions that are assigned to the role of a user. To learn more about the available roles in WebFOCUS, see WebFOCUS Security and Administration technical content.
