file and folder list page

Presents a list of objects that reside in the current working repository folder. Users request folder listings by choosing links on the reporting web page. The file and folder list page includes a filter section where users specify criteria for viewing report documents. For example, users select checkboxes to indicate whether they want to view only the last version of a report document or to see report executable files and report documents.

When users access a repository for the first time, Actuate Information Console displays their home folder, if they have one, or the top folder in the repository. All files and folders in that folder that they have permission to view appear in the Actuate Information Console listing page. Users can specify a filter to choose the types of files to view.

The following are the sources that the file and folder list page uses to obtain the values for filters and the state of checkboxes:

n	URI parameters. See the following parameters section.

n

Session attributes. Actuate Information Console uses session cookies to store the values that a user specifies. If the user browses the Actuate Information Console application, then returns to the listing page, the list page obtains the user’s values from the session cookie if cookies are enabled. If the user chooses another folder, that folder becomes the working folder, and the list page applies the same values that applied to the previous folder.

Table 5-23 lists and describes the session attribute variables.
