Reporting Software - Managing Report Data Space

InetSoft's reporting software allows users to manage report data space so that data can be retrieved and manipulated with speed and ease. View the information below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

The ‘Properties’ dialog box for shape components provides General and Shape tabs. The next sections discuss the shape-specific properties available under these tabs.

The General tab in the ‘Properties’ dialog box for shape components provides only the common properties.

The Shape tab in the ‘Properties’ dialog box for shape components provides slightly different properties for each shape type, as explained below

All files and folders in the 'Data Space' can be managed through the Data Space tab.

A folder's properties can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate folder name on the navigation tree. This opens the 'Data Space Folder Definition' page where the folder can be renamed by entering a new name in the 'Rename the Folder' field and clicking on the 'Apply' button. A folder can be deleted by clicking on the 'Delete' button. Additional files and folders can be added to the folder by clicking on the 'Add File' or 'Add Folder' links, respectively.

A file's properties can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate file name in the navigation tree. This opens the 'Data Space File Definition' page. A file can be renamed by entering a new name in the 'Rename the File' field and clicking on the 'Apply' button.

The actual contents of the file can be changed by entering another file's name in the 'Upload File From' field and clicking on the 'Apply' button. The contents of the specified file will overwrite the contents of the file in the data space. A file can also be downloaded from the data space to the file system using the 'Download' button. Clicking on the 'Delete' button will remove the file from the data space.

New files can be added to the database using the 'Add File' link on the 'Data Space Folder Definition' page. When adding a new file, an administrator is required to provide the information about the folder in which the file will reside, the file's name, and the file's contents.

You can back-up the resources in the 'Data Space' as a zip archive. Follow the steps below:

1. Under the Server tab, select 'Data Space' from the 'Repository' tree node. This opens the 'Data Space Configuration' page.

2. Click on the 'Backup' button. This opens the 'Backup' dialog box.

3. In the 'Data Space' field, specify the backup file name, e.g., data.zip.

4. In the 'Asset' field, specify a name for the asset file. (The asset file con­tains Worksheets and Viewsheets. Note: The zip file also contains an asset file (asset.dat, by default). However, this asset file is superseded by the asset file saved under the name you enter in the 'Asset' field. The asset file in the 'Asset' field contains your most recent work.

5. Click on the 'Save' button. This saves the new zip archive in the SREE Home directory.
