Published Reports

Published Reports are reports that can be accessed from IFS Enterprise Explorer by all authorized report users. Published Reports must be saved in the Published Reports folder in the SQL Server Report Server. Only users that belong to the Report Publisher user group are allowed to save reports in this folder. The users belonging to Report Publisher user group can also manage and administrate reports and folders saved in this folder. A published report must be defined as a Quick Report in IFS Enterprise Explorer and privileges must be granted to the users before the report is accessible.

Published Reports can be created with the Microsoft Report Designer and Microsoft Report Builder tools.

These reports have the same standard Quick Report functionality as regular Quick Reports, including the presentation object security.

The Quick Report type MS_REPORT should be used to create a Published Report.

There are many types of quick reports in IFS Applications. Published Reports created using a Microsoft reporting tool is one of them. Please refer to Open Development Guide in IFS Applications Technical Documentation for more information regarding quick reports.
