WebFOCUS Home Page

When you are working within a WebFOCUS Business View panel, you can edit your data by selecting from folder and field shortcut menu options. These options are also available in the Table/Column and Output views.

Some data files may contain repeating columns, such as sales figures for a series of years. There may even be repeating column groups, such as both budget and actual figures for a series of years. When uploading data, you can use the pivot option to transform these columns or groups of columns into rows, as shown in the following image.

Note: The pivot option is also available when creating or editing metadata.

The Alert feature requires the following components:
