Exploring Workbook Creation Options

A workbook combines a page and multiple charts into a single file. Using a workbook, you can create a data flow to engage in data discovery, create charts to analyze that data, and add multiple charts to a page for a broader perspective. Using a workbook is a quick way to explore your data in a single session, providing the ability to save multiple content components together for easy access.

To create a workbook, from the WebFOCUS Home Page, click the Common tab or the Designer tab, then click Workbook. In the Open dialog box, navigate to a data source and click Select. A new workbook opens to a chart component in WebFOCUS Designer.

The options available to create content in a workbook depend on the type of component you are editing. If you are editing a chart in a workbook, the available options are the same as for a stand-alone chart. If you are editing a page, the available options are those that you use to create a page.

The workbook contains additional options in the navigation area. You can use them to switch between components, add a chart to the workbook, and add a page to the workbook. There can be only one page component in a workbook. The navigation area is shown in the following image.
