Repository Browser
The Repository Browser allows to access a Repository. In case of access via the Remote-Interface it is located on the current server. In the i-net Designer the favored repository can be configured. The repository is a unified store where users can, dependent on their rights, place, execute and share their reports within the i-net Clear Reports server.
The Repository Browser consists of the following parts:
- Directory tree
In the directory tree on the left, all accessible folders of the repository are listed. A toolbar or context menu allows the renaming, copying, moving and deleting of folders. Sufficient rights for the file in the selected folder and its sub folders are required.
- Permission settings
The folder specific permissions can be administrated right in this GUI. The button is active for users that have write access for the selected folder and are allowed to change the configuration, using the Remote-Interface.
- File view
The file view can be switched into a detailed table view and a preview mode. It lists all visible files for the current user. The selected files are modifiable per toolbar or context menu - meaning they can be copied, moved, deleted and so forth. The open dialog in the i-net Designer has multi selection enabled to open several report files at once.
- Tagging
User can assign keywords to their report files to create categories. In the i-net Designer the dialog provides an input field with autocompletion for keywords that are already used in the repository.
- Search
This dialog provides a search function for the repository. It finds report files in either the current folder or in the overall repository. The various options help restricting the search to certain content in the report files like fields, dates and/or elements. The search phrase can contain wildcards '*' and '?'. The search does not find elements that are generated, e.g. title of charts.
- File properties
The properties of the currently selected file can be found at the right side. In addition to a preview, file properties and the current rights, the assigned tags are listed. A number shows how many files have the tags assigned in case of multi selection.
- Extended file properties
The extended file properties are being displayed in an additional window showing detailed document information. The values given there will be found by the search function.
