WebFOCUS Home Page

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.
