Managing Searches, Reports, and Dashboards

Note: You can only manage searches, reports, or dashboards if you have the 'Admin: Manage iConsole' administrative privilege.

You can manage searches, reports and dashboards in the iConsole. Specifically, you can:

Install a new search: You can install a completely new search based on your own customized XML search definition file. This is the most flexible method. When published, the new search is available to all users.
Customize an existing search: Any iConsole user can customize a search (no administrative privilege is needed), but the new search is only available to that user.
Derive a new search: A derived search is similar to a customized search but unlike normal customized searches, it can be published and made available to users. It is also possible to edit the XML definition file of a derived search.
Test a search: Before you make a new search available to your users, you need to validate its definition file against the corresponding stored procedure in the CMS database.
Publish or unpublish a search: To make a new search available to all other iConsole users, you need to publish it. Likewise, to remove a search so it is no longer available, you must unpublish it.
