Creating an External Report

You can use Proliance to create an external report document that contains the details of the file or report definition that you generated using another tool. These details include the web link (URL) where you can access this file or report definition. To create an external report, your security role requires External Report Create permission. For more information, see "About Security Permissions".

Important: The external reports that you create in one work area cannot be accessed from another work area. Hence, when you create an external report in the Organization work area, you will not be able to view it in the Workspaces work area.

For more information on how to create report definitions or a report web server, consult the documentation that was distributed with your report-generating tool.
