So now that we have hundreds of reports in Standard Reports in different folders for different areas - coming back to a report and figuring out exactly why it was created and all the criteria used is becoming difficult. I was thinking of having a directory for reports in WebFOCUS - maybe an html that I can include the description, the purpose, the criteria and exclusions used and a sample of the output. Does anyone recommend a way of doing this or have a sample of something they have done? Any info would be great - I am trying to avoid creating an external Excel document, I'd like to keep it in WebFOCUS - by the way, it would be placed in the MRE standard reports somewhere, we do not yet have Dashboards (but will in the future). Thanks!

Way To Go... I like your thinking...

I hope you have all that desired information in a "flower box" in you fexes... If not, that would be a great start...

I'd have to dig it up, but, yes it can be done in WebFOCUS / I did a very similar application at a prior client (color coded even)...
