To schedule a managed report through the repository
1. Right-click a Crystal report in the Enterprise Items folder or one of its
subfolders, and click Manage Object from the shortcut menu.
Note: You can open and view only those BusinessObjects Enterprise
objects that have a Crystal report (RPT) format. If they are present on the
BusinessObjects Enterprise server that you connected to, objects with
other file formats, such as PDF and XLS are displayed, but you cannot
access them from the Repository Explorer.
2. On the page that appears, click the Schedule tab.
3. Select the recurrence schedule that you want to use for the report.
For detailed information about scheduling reports, see the
BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView User’s Guide.
4. Click Schedule.
5. Click the History tab to see the status of your scheduled report.
6. Close the management page to return to the Repository Explorer.
A successful instance of your scheduled report appears in a child node
under the report that you selected.
Scheduling is only one of the tasks that you can carry out when you manage
an object from the Repository Explorer. See the BusinessObjects Enterprise
Administrator’s Guide for descriptions of the other tasks that are available.
Adding folders to the repository
You can organize the contents of the repository by creating folders and
subfolders in its tree view.
1. In the Repository Explorer, right-click a node and click New Folder on the
shortcut menu.
Tip: Another way to do this is to click the “Insert a new folder” button on
the Repository Explorer’s toolbar.
A new folder is added to the bottom of the repository tree. (If your
repository items are sorted by type, the new folder is added alphabetically
with the default name New Folder.)
