Logging On Automatically

Interactive Reporting provides an Auto Logon feature that maintains the current Interactive Reporting database connection file. Auto Logon is enabled by default.

  To toggle Auto Logon:

  1. Select Tools, then Options, and then Program Options.

    The Interactive Reporting Studio Options dialog box is displayed.

  2. Click the General tab to display the General tab.

  3. Select the Auto Logon check box and click OK.

  To use Auto Logon when creating a new Interactive Reporting document file:

  1. Select the connection icon on the Status bar to verify that Interactive Reporting Studio is connected to the database.

  2. Select File, then New.

    The Auto Logon dialog box is displayed.

  3. Click Yes to accept the existing connection.

    Interactive Reporting Studio opens the new Interactive Reporting document file. If Auto Logon was accepted, you are connected to the database server automatically. Otherwise, you can select a different Interactive Reporting database connection file.
