Hy,

I have a problem like this: I have a table which is updated periodically. In WebFOCUS I have a report based on the informations from the table. The request is to send an email to a group with a link to the generated report for the last information added in the table.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Mady, The Angel Sweating

Sounds like Report Library functionality to me.

Sure. It's all in the documentation, but here's a snapshot--Report Caster gives you the ability to send scheduled reports to a Report Library. Then you can notify individuals that a new report exists in the library and give them a link to that report.
I just looked up the "official" version in the Report Caster End User Manual--
The Report Library includes secure access to library content, the ability to save multiple versions of the same output, and the ability to set an expiration date or keep a specified number of versions. The Report Library is available only to ReportCaster users who have been granted access to the
library.
When you create a schedule to be distributed to the Report Library, you can send an e-mail message to all recipients with access rights to the content in the Report Library. This message contains the URL required to access the content. If you receive such an e-mail:
1. Open the e-mail and click the URL to the library content. The logon window opens.
2. Type your ReportCaster user ID and password. After a successful logon, you are sent directly to the specified output within the Library Content interface. There is an option to return to the Library Content interface that enables you to view additional content to which you have access in the library.
If you do not receive an e-mail notification, you can access the Library Content interface from Managed Reporting or the Business Intelligence Dashboard as follows:
❏ From the Managed Reporting Domains environment, click the Report Library icon on the toolbar.
❏ From the Business Intelligence Dashboard, select Library from the Tools option in the banner. You can also add the interface to a Dashboard Content page.


Regards,

Darin
