Retrieve a report

Templates for all Business Objects reports are stored in an area called Corporate Documents.
The first time you use a report you will need to retrieve it from the Corporate Documents area.
Once you have retrieved the report, a copy will be placed in your Business Objects UserDocs folder.
In future you can open the report directly from your UserDocs folder using the File-Open option.

Help

Click once on the column header 'Name' to sort the reports into alphabetical order.
Double click on the right hand edge of the column header 'Name' to resize the column so that you can see the full name of all the reports.

Reports in the Corporate Documents area summarise data from different University Administration systems, for example:

SRS from Samis, the Student system
TNT from Trent, the Human Resources system
All reports begin with 2 or 3 letters to distinguish which administration system they are reporting on.

Your Business Objects User Docs folder is found at the following location on your H drive:
