Overview of the BI Publisher Folders

The Oracle BI Publisher folders store the reports, data models, and style templates, that you create using Oracle BI Publisher.

You and every other user have their own personal folders, My Folders. Reports in personal folders can only be accessed by the user who created and saved the content into the folder. You can add subfolders to My Folders to organize the content in the way that is most logical to you.

Note:

The information in this chapter applies to installations of BI Publisher that are not integrated with the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. For information about the integrated Oracle BI Presentation catalog, see, User's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

You can also save reports in shared folders where other users or groups can access them. User permissions determine which folders are available to which users. Permissions are assigned at the object-level and determine who can view, edit, and schedule reports within that folder. Your administrator creates and maintains the shared folder structure.
