Controlling Reporting Tool Access in Dashboard
by Gil Rodriguez, Information Builders

In WebFOCUS version 7 Release 6.10, the Business Intelligence Dashboard gives administrators the ability to control reporting tool access from the Dashboard at a global level or the view level.

This feature provides administrators with the flexibility and the ability to display a subset of the available reporting tools based on specific views and its users. Other capabilities include the ability to hide the tools from users until they receive proper training. This capability is available only from Dashboard, not the Managed Reporting Applet and Developer Studio.

The reporting tools are the following:

* Report Assistant
* Graph Assistant
* Advanced Graph Assistant
* InfoAssist
* Power Painter
* Text Editor

Note: InfoAssist and Power Painter license codes must be configured in WebFOCUS in order for them to be accessible from Managed Reporting.
