Web Intelligence and Save As feature

[Former Member]

Hello,

We using BI 4 (14.0.6) and IE 8 to create documents, we set-up the feature to export to Excel (save as ) a document using the following path in CMC:

Folder\Manage\Top-level security\All Folders\Everyone\Assign Security -> Advanced\Content\Web Intelligence and Granted Save As Excel.

When :

• we view (right click on a document from a folder and then View)  a WebI document, the export button appears,  the button still present when  we go to Modify (from view)
• we try to modify (right click on a document from a folder and then Modify), the Export button is NOT present.
• we try to open the application WebIntelligence I try to open an existing document, the Export Document is NOT present.

Note, all tests are done with the same document and same user.

Any idea.

Best regards

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

This option is specific to Web mode (view and modify), for Java mode, you need to follow steps that Victor mentioned.

Thank you.

But I think I am not so clear, in fact the problem is why the export feature (via the button) is available when I view a document and modify it. And not directly when I try to modify the document.

Hi Laurent,

there are some differences between each one of the Web Intelligence flavors (e.g. Hyperlink wizard, Data mode, Web Services, Excel as Data source etc...).

Plans are in the Web Intelligence roadmap (http://service.sap.com/roadmap) to have all flavors align in future.

Hello Laurent,

if you want to export the report from Rich Client or Rich Internet Application (Java Applet), you have to go to "save as" and then select "Desktop" or "My computer", there you can export the report.

Best regards,

Victor
