All reports reside in the catalog. The Oracle BI Publisher Home page displays recently viewed reports and your favorite reports for quick access.
You can view a report in your web browser using the report viewer based on the report properties. Depending on the report properties and your user permissions, you can select and view different layouts, interact directly with displayed data, change the output type, or send the report to someone else.
The Catalog displays two main reports folders:
Shared Folders contains the reports and folders you have been granted access to based on your role.
My Folders contains the reports and folders you have created.
The Open action runs the report using the options set in the report definition.
Some reports are not configured for online viewing. For these reports, the Open link does not display. Select Schedule to schedule a report job. For more information, see Navigating to the Schedule Report Job Page.
Some reports require selecting parameter values before running the report. If the report does not immediately display data, then select values for the displayed parameters and click Apply.
