Customizing CA DLP Reports in InfoView

If your BusinessObjects account has report administrator or report author permissions, you can create custom CA DLP reports in InfoView.

You can customize existing CA DLP reports (for example, changing the results columns) or you can create new reports. The following sections give summary instructions. For full details, see the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView User's Guide.

To customize an existing CA DLP report

  1. Make a copy of the CA DLP report that you want to modify.

    This step is necessary to prevent your changes to the report being overwritten during a future CA DLP upgrade.

    1. In the Document List page, navigate to All, Public Folders, CA Reports, CA DLP.
    2. Right-click the CA DLP report you want to copy and click Organize, Copy.
    3. Navigate to the folder in which you want to keep the copy (for example, My Favorites).
    4. Right-click the target folder and click Organize, Paste.
  2. Right-click the copy and click Modify.

    The Prompts dialog appears. This dialog allows you to change basic report parameters.

    Note: In Web Intelligence documents, parameters are named prompts.

  3. Change the report parameters as required and click Refresh Data.

    The Web Intelligence report panel appears.

  4. Edit the report as required. For example, you can remove or reorganize columns.

    For full instructions, see your BusinessObjects Enterprise documentation.

  5. Click Save As to save the report.

    Note: If you want your customized reports to be listed in this 'My Favorites' folder in the iConsole, you must save them to the \All\My Favorites\CA reports\CA DLP folder in InfoView.

To create a new CA DLP report

  1. In the Document List page in InfoView, browse to All, Public Folders, CA Reports, CA DLP.
  2. Right-click the CA DLP folder click New, Web Intelligence Document.

    The 'Web Intelligence Document-New Document' page appears.

  3. Click the CA DLP Universe in the left pane.

    The Web Intelligence report panel appears.

  4. Build the report query by adding the objects and filters that you want to include in your report.

    For full instructions, see your BusinessObjects Enterprise documentation.
