Shortcuts to AO reports not working in Business Objects

what-i-see.jpgwhat-the-user-sees.jpgHi folks,

SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.2 Support Pack 3 Patch 2. I am having trouble adding shortcuts for the user to run. I can see the shortcuts and open them which launches AO, but the user sees a different icon (white page, like a broken link) which does not allow them to open the AO report.

See screen shots attached

Is there some authorisation issue I have when copying shortcuts or does it lie with authorisations the business folder has?

Or something else?

Thanks,

Darren

    Hi Darren - on the surface, this seems more like a desktop issue? Could you ask your Network Administrator to review?

    what Tammy said, and also - what is the difference between you and that user ? (browser, client machine, network, access level etc) ?

    I could see the difference. looks like you are trying to open the actual AO workbook and for user it shows the Shortcut of AO workbook? Does your Security is driven by categories rather than by folder?

    Thanks
