Using the Update One Method

  To update one Interactive Reporting document:

1. Open Dashboard Development Services Update Utility.

2. From Update Method, select Update One.

3. Select the preferred backup option.

   • Selecting Place Updates in the Update Folder, creates an Update folder in the source path and the updated document is saved to the folder (If a document with an identical name exists in the Update folder, a timestamp is added to the document currently being updated. The original document in the Update folder is not overwritten)

   • Selecting Place Originals in Backup Folder, creates a Backup folder in the source path (The original document is saved to the Backup folder with a timestamp added to the file name. The updated document is saved to the source path and takes the name of the original document)

   When the option to create a backup of the document is selected, the original document must not be set to read-only.

4. Click (next to JavaScript Configuration File), to locate the configuration file.

   The JavaScript configuration file determines the sections to replace, add, delete, or preserve in the specified document to update. Use the default configuration file that is provided, unless you have a customized script to use.

5. Click (next to New Sections File), and locate the new sections file.

   A new sections file is provided with the Dashboard Studio installation, which contains the latest version of the infrastructure sections. If custom components have been added, you will need to use a different new sections file.

6. Click (next to Document to Update), and locate the document to update.

   The save path of the updated document is generated in Save Path of Updated Document(s).

7. Click Update.

   When the update process is complete, a report confirms a successful or unsuccessful update.

8. Click View to launch the updated document in Interactive Reporting Studio.
