Publishing allows you to upload one or more VDM Views to WebReports. Once published, the Views can be assigned to users and used within WebReports.
Unlike Save and Upload, which is designed for quickly uploading a single View to a WebReports environment, Publish can be used to upload multiple Views to one or more WebReports environments.
Before You Begin
Before publishing Views:
- VDM must be connected to a valid WebReports connection profile.
- The WebReports tab is only visible when a WebReports connection profile is selected.
- Your WebReports user must have the appropriate Publisher permissions.
- The Views you want to publish must already be saved in VDM.
Publish Views to WebReports
1. Connect to WebReports
From VDM, select the WebReports connection profile you want to use.
Once a valid WebReports connection profile is selected, the WebReports tab becomes available on the VDM ribbon.
2. Open the WebReports Tab
Select the WebReports tab from the VDM ribbon.
3. Open Publish
Click Publish.
The publishing window opens.
4. Select the WebReports Environment
Select the WebReports environment or connection where you want to publish the Views.
5. Select the Views
Click Select Views.
Select one or more Views that you want to publish.
To select multiple Views, hold Ctrl while selecting each View.
6. Confirm the Selected Items
Verify that the WebReports connection and each View you want to upload have a black checkmark beside them.
Only the checked items will be included in the publishing process.
7. Upload the Views
Click Upload Selected.
VDM publishes the selected Views to the selected WebReports environment.
After the upload is complete, the Views are available in WebReports for assignment and use.
Publish vs. Save and Upload
Use Publish when you need to:
- Upload multiple Views at the same time.
- Publish Views to multiple WebReports environments.
- Deploy several new or updated Views.
Use Save and Upload when you are working with a single View and want to quickly save and upload it to WebReports.
