How-to's

Hello, and welcome to this video on Insight, a feature that allows you to make significant modifications to your content at run time that can be enabled with the click of a button.

Today, we will show you how to create a report using InfoAssist. Reports are tables of information that show data organized into rows and columns for specified sort values.

To create a report, you can either expand a folder in the Content view of the WebFOCUS Home page and click Report or, from within InfoAssist, you can create a report by clicking New on the Quick Access Toolbar or Application Menu and then clicking Build a Report. Once you choose a data source, you are ready to create your content. 

Hello, and welcome to this video on controlling procedure settings in InfoAssist. You can use the Procedure Settings feature to quickly and easily apply certain types of formatting to affect how your data displays, which is especially useful in cases where you want to customize your content for localization purposes or for different output formats.

Hello and welcome to this video on downloading data from InfoAssist in Excel (csv) format. This feature makes it easy to create a report and capture the data for use with any external program that utilizes comma delimited data, including Microsoft Excel. With this feature, you can generate data extracts and pass your data between systems with ease. 

You can use WebFOCUS Designer to create responsive pages, filtered dashboards, and InfoApps to bring a wide variety of existing content together in one place.  
InfoApps are a great way to provide a large amount of information in a single page, while still remaining clear and easy to navigate.  You can add a mix of charts and reports to a single page, and provide filters to enable users to focus on the information that matters to them.

You can create maps to identify patterns in your data. Data with geographic dimensions is converted into values that can be displayed on a map, making it easy for you to visualize scenarios, illustrate hot spots, and identify potential problem areas.
There are two types of maps: Choropleth and Proportional Symbol , or bubble, maps. Choropleth maps are useful for visualizing location-based data, trends, and distributions across a geographic area. Bubble maps focus on specific points. The size of the bubble varies depending on the underlying data.

You can use the Embedded JavaScript and CSS features in WebFOCUS Designer to modify the look of a page and to add additional elements to its interface. Custom CSS and JavaScript provide tremendous flexibility and provide nearly limitless customizability to your pages.

Now that we’ve created pages in our portal, let’s see how it looks.  Notice that each page is listed on the toolbar, and menus allow us to access pages in different folders.

You may notice that when you run a portal, a fixed URL is used. Anyone that has this URL can access your portal. This allows you to protect sensitive information and share it only with a specific group of users that you define.
