You can launch the Editor in one of the following ways:

You can make your newly created WebFOCUS Infographic available to other users by publishing it in your repository, sharing it with specific users and groups, or by distributing it using WebFOCUS ReportCaster. You can also distribute it using the burst option, which enables you to share specific sections of the infographic procedure with different users, based on the coordinated field in our infographic compound document. The following steps outline how you can share your infographic by email or burst it to members of your organization.

The Editor enables you to create, view, and edit the source code for WebFOCUS procedures (FOCEXECs), Master, HTML, JavaScript, WebFOCUS StyleSheet, Cascading Style Sheet, Text, SQL, R, and Python files.

Additionally, the Editor supports user-friendly features, such as syntax highlighting, code folding, line numbering, autocomplete, and display of a status bar and indent guides. These features speed productivity by enabling better clarity in helping you understand, debug, and work with your source code.

You can modify your infographic at any time to reflect new data that is available to you. For example, you may create an infographic that sends information monthly or quarterly. Once you set up the initial infographic template, and Reporting Object, you can easily distribute an updated infographic.

In our example, we created an infographic for the first quarter of a year. You can reuse the same template and Reporting Object for subsequent quarters without making any extensive changes. All you need to do is modify the Reporting Object so it uses data for a new quarter.

You add data to your infographic template using WebFOCUS InfoAssist. When you open the infographic template in InfoAssist, it becomes a compound document. Specifically, each object that you marked with a WebFOCUS tag in the template becomes a component of the compound document, where you can add your data. Text objects become report components, where you can add the data field to the SUM field container or Header.

You can begin creating your infographic template, once you have registered your WebFOCUS Infographics account. This allows you to access to WebFOCUS Infographics powered by Easelly, which provides a library of infographic templates, and a design tool that contains a WebFOCUS tag option and placeholder objects that can be linked to WebFOCUS charts once you upload your template into WebFOCUS.

You can access the Creation Tool in one of the following ways:

Before you can begin creating infographic templates, you must first activate your WebFOCUS Infographics account.
