Exporting a Document as a Web Page

Use the Export Document As Web Page command to publish the contents of Interactive Reporting documents as web pages. You can select which sections of the current document to include in the export set.

Documents sections are exported in the same order as they are displayed in the Interactive Reporting document. Exportable document sections include: Results, Table, Pivot,

Chart, OLAPQuery, and reports created with the Report Designer. Imported sections that have been added to the document, such as text files and Excel files, can also be exported. Data models and the Query, and Dashboard sections are not exportable. Neither are empty or blank sections. After these files are posted to a Web site, you can access the files individually or use the main HTML file to view the frameset, which lists the sections in the report. The exported Web pages include navigation buttons so you can scroll back and forth between pages, or jump to the beginning or end of a document. In addition, the current page number and total number of pages are included in the report.

Note:

The Export As HTML and HTML Wizard options in prior versions of Interactive Reporting remain unchanged. However, we recommend that you use the Export As Web Page option.

  To export Interactive Reporting documents as Web pages:

  1. Select File, then Export, and then Document as Web Page.

    The Export Document As Web Page dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select the sections of the document to be exported and click OK.

    To select all sections, click Select All. To clear all selected sections, click Deselect All.

    The Save As Type dialog box is displayed.

  3. Navigate to the location where you want to save your Web page.

    Tip:

    Create a separate folder to store the files created by this export option.

  4. Type a name for the exported Web page in the File Name field, or accept the default name, for example Sample1.htm.

    The Save As Type field is set to *.htm by default. All of the HTML files that the export process creates begin with the name specified in the File Name field, for example, Sample1Chart.htm, Sample1Pivot.htm, and so on. The HTML file with the exact same name as the name specified in the File Name field is the main HTML page, and it contains the frameset and links to all of the other pages, for example Sample1.htm.

  5. Click Save.

    To view the exported selection, open your Web browser, select File, then Open, browse to the location of the exported files, and open the main HTML page.
