Working with folders and favorites

Folders group reports and QMF objects. Folders are named according to object owner names. You can perform the same operations on folders that you do on reports, such as running reports and defining report properties.

Note:
When you perform an operation at a top-level folder the operation is applied to every report contained in the folder.

To run the reports within a folder consecutively, click on the folder, then select Report--> Run.

QMF Report Center contains two top-level folders where you can store reports. The folders contain reports that point to objects on servers. The actual objects are not contained within your Favorites folders.

When you copy QMF objects to your Favorites folders and Public Favorites folders, the folders are renamed automatically to include the object type and owner name. When you copy an entire object type (for example, a folder containing procedures) from a server, the server name is also included in the new folder name.

Adding reports to Favorites

You can add any object or report from a server to your Favorites folders, or to the Public Favorites folder on a server (with permission from your system administrator).

Adding reports to your Favorites folders

Select one of the following options:

The report is added to the top of your Favorites folder with the following naming convention:

Objecttype OWNERNAME.OBJECT NAME

For example:

Query QMFGUEST."SELECT"

Adding reports to a Public Favorites folder on a server

Select a report than drag the report a Public Favorites folder on a server. You can add reports from your Favorites folders or from another server.

Note:
After you add or modify a report in a Public Favorites folder, select Report--> Save changes to Public Favorites to save the updates at the server.
