Using Workspace, you can create, edit, and save batches if you have Administrator or Designer rights. Batches can also be scheduled, with full Batch Scheduler capability. You use batches to group and process sets of reports or books. You can send the output generated by running a batch to a printer or to the repository, and you can export both as HTML and PDF files. You can also email users the exported output.
You can define and save batches in the Batch Editor and copy and delete batches in the repository. Deleting a batch from the repository requires access rights to the batch. By default, only the scheduling user is assigned access rights to snapshots and snapshot books that are saved to the repository. Having access rights to a batch, you can run every report in the batch when scheduled. The scheduling user can assign access to other users and groups at the time of scheduling.
Batches have a batch POV, which you can modify while scheduling. You can also specify prompt information for the batch. The specified POV and prompt information provides values for the POV and prompts specified for each book and report contained in the batch. You can schedule batches for processing immediately or at a later time.
