Overview

Publishing is the process of adding objects to the BusinessObjects Enterprise environment and making them available to authorized users. There are several types of objects that you can publish to BusinessObjects Enterprise:

• reports (from Crystal Reports and OLAP Intelligence)
• documents (from Desktop Intelligence)
• programs
• Microsoft Excel/Word/PowerPoint files
• Adobe Acrobat PDFs
• text files
• rich text format files
• hyperlinks
• object packages (which consist of report and/or program objects)

You can publish objects to BusinessObjects Enterprise in three ways. For more information, see the following sections:

• Publishing with the Publishing Wizard.
• Publishing with the Central Management Console.
• Saving objects directly to the CMS.

Note:    You can also create and add new objects directly to BusinessObjects Enterprise from within InfoView.
