See "Mount At" (p. 28) for more information. Parent Shows the parent folder. Folder, Cube, and Report Properties (Settings tab) Options The Settings tab contains interface items that can be acquired by descendant cubes, reports, and folders. The settings described in the section below pertain to the selected cube or report. When a folder is selected, the settings pertain to all cubes and reports in the folder. Reset All Resets all the settings to those of its parent. Reset Restores the selected setting to that of its parent. Reset Descendants Applies the current settings to descendant objects of the same type and removes any overrides. Access Privileges Specifies whether the cube is made available to Web users (via a browser), Windows users (via PowerPlay for Windows or PowerPlay for Excel), or both. Title Specifies a title that appears at the top of the page. You can also add variables to the title. HTML Encode User Specified File Restricts embedded HTML content in the titles of reports that may be published to the Web. Sharing Makes the cube, report, or folder available for mirror referencing. Paper Size Specifies the default paper size for printing PDF reports. Page Orientation Specifies the default orientation for printing PDF reports. Display frame(s) border Specifies whether the Display Frame Borders checkbox is available, allowing users to add a border to their reports. Page by Page Report Serving Enables single page serving of multi-page documents rather than serving the entire document. This is also referred to as byte serving. For large reports, enabling this may improve access time. 86 Cognos PowerPlay (R)
Appendix A: Context Help When this server setting is enabled, users can further improve access time by adjusting two settings in Adobe Acrobat Reader: Allow Background Download of Entire File and Use Page Cache. Explore in Interactive HTML Format Specifies whether users can explore PDF reports in interactive HTML format. This option also affects whether users can open reports in interactive HTML if the report is published to the portal. Explore in Windows Format Allows users in Upfront to explore the report in PowerPlay for Windows. Users must have PowerPlay for Windows installed. Save as PowerCube Specifies that PowerPlay for Windows and PowerPlay for Excel users can save the cube as a subcube. If this option is enabled, users who have PowerPlay Personal Server installed can connect to the remote cube and save portions of it as a subcube, i.e. a local PowerCube (.mdc file) on their local drives. This allows them to disconnect from the PowerPlay Enterprise Server and access the subcube on their notebook computer, for example. Later, they can re-synchronize to the remote server cube. This option has no effect on third-party cubes, such as Essbase. Only PowerCubes created with PowerPlay Transformer can be saved as subcubes. Get Data Allows users to explore a report without showing data in a crosstab display. When this is enabled, the user will be able to select Get Data Later from the Options menu and Get Data from within the display. Auditing Level Specifies the level of auditing for the cube or report. If you enable auditing, PowerPlay Enterprise Server records information that may help you analyze and troubleshoot problems. The following auditing options are available: Option None Summary Detail Description Records no information. Records requests made to cubes or reports. Records statistics on the measures, dimensions, and levels of a cube that are accessed by PowerPlay Web. This allows you to determine which areas of a cube are used more or less frequently, and may help you to develop a strategy for creating more efficient cubes. An Auditing Level setting is also available for the server. Auditing information is recorded in the file ppes_audit.log. Queued Request Timeout Sets the length of time, in seconds, that cube or report requests will remain queued. If these requests are not processed within the set time, users will receive a message asking them to try again. Explain Drill Links Specifies whether reports run from either Upfront or the Table of Contents directly to the PDF will contain Explain drill links on the row or column labels.
