Understanding the file life cycle

All files are placed in the Encyclopedia volume through one of the following methods:

n	Run or schedule a document job

n	Save a document from a browser-based tool

n	Publish a document from an Actuate desktop designer software

n	Upload a file by an Actuate Encyclopedia volume administrator

Information Console users either view an existing document for printing and editing, or run a job to create a document with updated or filtered data.

Users with appropriate privileges can open design and template files in browser-based tools to change the design or data sources. Files opened in browser-based tools for design can be republished to the Encyclopedia volume.

Figure 1-3 shows the typical file life cycle that Information Console supports.
