User-defined Favorites or Shortcuts for Reports and Schedules

Former Member

Hi experts,

A client was inquiring whether it's possible to for an end-user to create shortcuts or favorites to frequently used reports within BPC. I know it's possible to use the BPFs or presumably the custom menu tools to create links. Is there a solution that anyone has used that allows end-users (rather than those customizing) to create shortcuts?

I also tried the "locking" the Excel frequently used file menu but that does not register BPC reports.

2) Any difference or incremental functionality in version 10?

Thanks

Hi Eyal,

I think that bpf or custom menu are the better solution for creating links.

Please note that in version 10 the custom menu are not more supported, please see

Kind regards

Hi Eyal,

Using BPF or custom menu is possible. Hoewever, these can not be maintained by the end-user, this will have to be done by the admin, therfore this will not meet your requirements. There is only one option in BPC 7.0/7.5 that might help: the end-user can save the concerning reports in the 'My Reports' folder, disadvantage is that these reports are not maintained centrally, so in case of any changes in reports/schedules they should be copied to the My Reports folder manually.

BPC10 will have some major improvements in this area, with the option to create personal 'workspaces' where links to spcific tasks/reports/schedules can be made and maintained.
