Customizing Web Report Studio Profile
This topic describes how you can configure the preferences and features of Web Report Studio using the Server Console.
The Administration > Server Profile > Customize Profile page is available to administrators, provides default settings for running Web Report Studio, and controls whether end users can configure the settings in the My Profile > Customize Profile page. Administrators may change the settings in the Server Profile > Customize Profile page to enable or disable some features. Then, end users can configure Web Report Studio preferences in the My Profile > Customize Profile page for themselves, that is, they can decide whether to disable the features which administrators have enabled.
To configure Web Report Studio preferences and features:
- Choose according to your user account:
- Anyone can configure for themselves: go to the My Profile > Customize Profile > Web Report Studio tab.
- Administrators can configure for all users: go to the Administration > Server Profile > Customize Profile > Web Report Studio tab.
- In the Features tab, select the feature profile from the Default Profile list. The feature profile determines the features that are available in Web Report Studio.
Logi Report provides a default profile in which Server enables all the Web Report Studio features. Administrators can create, edit, or remove the customized feature profiles. End users can only select a profile and view its settings.
- To create a profile, select New Profile. Server displays the Web Report Studio Profile dialog box. Then create the profile.
- To edit a profile, select Edit in the profile table.
- To remove a profile, select it in the profile table, then select Delete.
- In the Properties tab, specify the properties for configuring the Web Report Studio preferences and screen elements.
Two factors determine whether an option is available in Web Report Studio: whether you enabled the corresponding feature in the selected profile and whether you enabled the property in the Properties tab. Only when you enabled both can the option be available for use. If you disabled a feature in the profile, Server hides the corresponding option from the Web Report Studio window even though you enabled it in the Properties tab. - Select OK to accept the profile settings.
The following table describes the properties for configuring the Web Report Studio settings. The properties for customizing the screen elements are classified for the two working modes of Web Report Studio: Edit Mode and View Mode.
