Publishing Content

How to:

When you create a new item or folder, it is private. Only you can see it, run it, edit it, and so on. A private item is illustrated with a gray icon.

When you are ready to allow others to access an item that you created, you can publish it. This turns on any rules set on the item itself, or those that may be inherited from a higher level. The icon of the item appears in full color to indicate that the item is published.

In WebFOCUS, administrators and developers have the ability to publish items for other users. Once an item is published, it becomes visible to all users.

Procedure: How to Publish an Item

  1. Sign in as an administrator or developer.
  2. On the Legacy Home Page, in the Resources tree, right-click an item, and then click Publish.

    The item is now visible to all users.

    Note: When you publish a folder, all items inside this folder, including other folders, are published automatically.

Procedure: How to Unpublish an Item

  1. Sign in as an administrator or developer.
  2. On the Legacy Home Page, in the Resources tree, right-click an item, and then click Unpublish.

    The item is now private and only visible to you.

    Note: When you unpublish a folder, all items inside this folder, including other folders, are unpublished automatically.
