Understanding file operations
Each file type supports various file operations such as viewing, sharing, running, scheduling, editing, and designing files. BIRT iServer options enable the use of browser-based tools like BIRT Data Analyzer and BIRT Studio as well as enabling the use of selected file types like BIRT document files. The BIRT iServer administrator gives users access permissions to run, share, and delete certain files, as well as assigning permission to use any installed BIRT iServer options.
Available file operations are visible when viewing a file’s properties. Optionally, when using the Details, Icons, or List view, users can select file operations from the hover menu that appears when the mouse is over the file icon.
Figure 1-4 summarizes file operations for users of Information Console. Users receive access to the following file operations when they have appropriate privileges and the selected file supports the operation.
