The Library Page

The Library page offers a more focused view of the repository objects. It contains only the Ad Hoc views, reports, and
Dashboards that the currently logged-in user has rights to view and work with.

Click Library to view your Library list.

Library Panel

From the Library page, you can:

• Run and schedule reports
• Open Ad Hoc views and generate reports from them
• Run and edit dashboards
• Run OLAP views

All of these functions are available by right-clicking the item you want to work with and selecting an action from the context menu.

Created vs. Modified Dates

The Library table has two columns that refer to when the repository items were created or last updated.

• The Created Date column displays when resource was created.
• The Modified Date column displays when the resource was last modified.

Generally, the created date will be earlier than the modified date. In some situations, however, the created date may be after
the modified date. This can happen in two situations:

• When an existing report (A) is modified, then subsequently copied into a new report (B). In the Library list, report B's created date is the day it was created, but its modified date reflects the last time report A was changed.
• An existing report is exported from one system and imported into another. In the Library list, the reports created date is the date it was imported into the new system, and the modified date is the date it was last modified in the original system.
