How to add an experience level

1

Using a text editor that supports UTF-8 encoding, open experience.levels. In some system configurations, this file does not already exist in the WEB-INF directory for your application. Some editors, such as Microsoft Notepad, add a marker string to the file to identify the UTF-8 encoding. Do not use an editor that adds hidden information to the file.

2	Find the <NUMBER_OF_LEVELS> tag and increase the number of levels by one. There are three levels in the standard experience.levels, so set the new value to 4.

<NUMBER_OF_LEVELS>4</NUMBER_OF_LEVELS>

3	Find the last </EXPERIENCE_LEVEL> tag

1	Insert the following code after the </EXPERIENCE_LEVEL> tag and before the </EXPERIENCE_LEVELS> tag:

<EXPERIENCE_LEVEL>

  <SKIN_NAME>SampleLevel</SKIN_NAME>

The skin name is used by Actuate Information Console on the General—Options page.

2	Insert code in one of the following formats for the display name that Actuate Analytics Cube Viewer uses:

o	To use a static value for the display name:

</DISPLAY_NAME>

  <LOCALE_ID>en_US</LOCALE_ID>

  <NAME>Sample</NAME>

</DISPLAY_NAME>

o	To use a resource key to access the display name in the appropriate locale:

<DISPLAY_NAME>SAMPLE_EXP_LEVEL_ID<DISPLAY_NAME>

3	Insert the following code after the <DISPLAY_NAME> tag line:

<HIDEITEM>HOME_TB</HIDEITEM>

  <HIDEITEM>EDIT_TITLE</HIDEITEM>

  <HIDEITEM>ADMIN_LOG_ON</HIDEITEM>

  <HIDEITEM>VIEW_SOURCE</HIDEITEM>

</EXPERIENCE_LEVEL>

4	Save and close experience.levels.

5	Using a text editor, open functionality-level.config.

6	Add the following line to the list of Analytics experience levels in every level.

<AnalyticsExperienceLevel>Sample</AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

For example, the Basic level should look like the following code:

<Level>

  <Name>Basic</Name>

  <Role>All</Role>

  <FeatureID>Jobs</FeatureID>

  <FeatureID>Documents</FeatureID>

  <FeatureID>Channels</FeatureID>

  <SubfeatureID>DeleteFile</SubfeatureID>

  <SubfeatureID>InteractiveViewing</SubfeatureID>

  <AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

    Novice

  </AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

  <AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

    Standard

  </AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

  <AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

    Advanced

  </AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

  <AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

    Sample

  </AnalyticsExperienceLevel>

</Level>

7	Save and close functionality-level.config.

8	To apply these configuration changes, restart your application server or JSP engine. For example, to restart Information Console’s embedded servlet engine on a Windows XP system, perform the following steps:

1	From the Windows Start menu, choose All Programs→Administrative Tools→Services.

2	On Services, select Actuate BIRT iServer 11.

3	From the menu, choose Action→Restart.

4	Close Services.
