About creating new workbooks

In some organizations, the Discoverer manager or an experienced Discoverer user creates the workbooks required by Discoverer users. In other organizations, individual users create their own workbooks.

Typically, you create a new workbook when you want to analyze data in a new way. For example, you might want to create a performance analysis workbook that you will make available to all sales analysts in a marketing department.

Note: For more information about maximizing Discoverer performance, see "About designing workbooks for maximum performance".

Before you can create a new workbook, the Discoverer manager must have given you permission to do so. The Discoverer manager gives you permission to create a new workbook by granting you a Discoverer privilege.
