WebFOCUS Home Page

You can upload delimited, Excel, JSON, or XML files into WebFOCUS, where you can preview and modify the data before loading it to a database, then create visualizations or prepare it for future analysis.

Procedure: How to Upload Data Files

1. On the WebFOCUS start page, click the plus menu, and then click Get Data, or, on the WebFOCUS home page, click the Get Data button .

   The Get Data dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.

From the WebFOCUS Home Page, you can drag and drop items between different areas of WebFOCUS Explorer.

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.

You can further customize your Home Page by using the Favorites feature. Favorites can be reports, graphs, hyperlinks, Reporting Objects, and other item types. The Favorites feature provides a convenient and fast way to find and use your favorite content, without having to search for it. You can interact with your favorite content and view its properties, and also access Favorites from a mobile device.

From the Home Page, Favorites appear in the Favorites view, as shown in the following image.

The Alert feature requires the following components:

• WebFOCUS Reporting Server. This server is responsible for processing the procedure, accessing and retrieving the requested data, and creating the report when the Alert test is triggered (true).
• Managed Reporting. This environment is used to create and manage Alerts in the WebFOCUS repository.

An Alert consists of the following:

You can add items to Favorites from any domain or folder if you have permission to do so.

To designate an item as a Favorite, right-click the item, and click Add to Favorites.

To remove an item as a Favorite, right-click the item and click Remove Favorite.

If you right-click the item from the Home Page, you can select from the following options, depending on file type:

WebFOCUS Mobile allows you to share your content so that anyone in your organization can have access to the data they need, when they need it, without the use of a physical computer. Your content can be viewed across mobile devices, whether through the native mobile browser, or the Mobile Faves app for iOS or Android devices.

A Reporting Object may contain any of the following types of components, which are run in the order of precedence, as listed:

From the WebFOCUS Home Page or Legacy Home Page, you can view or edit the properties of a Reporting Object by right-clicking the object and selecting Properties. The Reporting Object Properties dialog box opens.

You can run a Reporting Object or any individual component of it from the browser. You can run a Reporting Object in the following ways:

• Select the object in the Reporting Object tool and click Run, or right-click the object and select Run.
• Right-click the Reporting Object in the tree and select Run or Run Deferred.

The Run option in the Reporting Object tool is enabled regardless of the setting of the Only Run as a Deferred Report property.

Reporting Objects are stored in folders in the tree within domain folders under the Content folder. They can include selection criteria (WHEREs), JOINs, virtual fields (DEFINEs), filters, and other WebFOCUS statements, as well as reports or charts supplied as templates.

Note: A Reporting Object will not show in the repository when the user cannot functionally use the Reporting Object.
