Using browser bookmarks

Information Console is a browser-based application and uses URL addresses to interact with an Encyclopedia volume. Many of these URL addresses can become browser bookmarks or favorites for fast user access to selected web pages of Information Console. The following activities can be saved as browser bookmarks or favorites:

n	Log in page to Information Console

n	Running or scheduling a job

n	Viewing a document file

Bookmarks for running a job or viewing a document require users to log into Information Console.

Many Actuate documents exist for temporarily viewing. When the BIRT iServer time out period for these documents is exceeded, the web URL becomes unavailable. Additionally, document permissions can limit which users can see or run a report.

Some browser-based tools, for example BIRT Viewer and BIRT Interactive Viewer, include a link option that can create a URI to rerun a document on demand by any user with the appropriate permissions. For more information about accessing Information console with custom URIs, see Information Console Developer Guide.

Email notifications also include direct links to new documents.
