About Information Console
Actuate Information Console is a browser-based application for users to edit, print, run, schedule, share, and view business documents. Information Console supports accessing and viewing items stored in a managed repository called an Encyclopedia volume. An Actuate server system can store one, or multiple Encyclopedia volumes.
There are two general presentation modes in Information Console:

A file explorer mode for interacting with document files, jobs, and channels

A dashboard mode for interacting with dashboards and gadgets
Depending on licensed options, users access additional browser-based tools such as Interactive Viewer for reorganizing document presentation or BIRT Studio, a design tool for creating and editing report documents. BIRT Dashboard and gadget tools are available with the BIRT 360 license option.
