Workbook Wizard: Create/Open Workbook dialog

Use this dialog to specify the type of workbook you want to open. When opening a workbook, you need to know whether it is a workbook stored in the Discoverer database, or whether it is a scheduled workbook stored in the Discoverer database.

If you are not sure about the type of workbook to open, contact the Discoverer manager.

• Database

  Use this radio button to look for a workbook in the database. Unless you work with large amounts of data, most workbooks that you access will be of this type.

• Scheduled

  Use this radio button to look for a scheduled workbook in the database. If you work with large amounts of data, the workbook that you want might have been scheduled. This means that because of its size or complexity it is processed at a specific time, typically overnight.
