You can retrieve the results of a saved report or Business Intelligence (BI) query without logging into the application and searching for the desired report/BI query. All you have to do is save a report/BI query with all of the desired criteria in advance, and when required, provide the portal with your AudienceView User ID, password and the name of the saved report/BI query. The portal then runs the report immediately and displays the results.
Using the Download Report Portal
Prior to using the Download Report Portal, you must have a report saved/BI query. You can save criteria for any of the AudienceView reports and BI queries, but you must note the name that you have used for the saved report/BI query criteria as this is the trigger for the portal execution. For more information, refer to Saving a Report and Saving a BI Query.
You can navigate to the download portal using the following paths in your internet browser, depending on whether you are running a saved report or BI query:
where <server> is the name of the application server where your AudienceView application is stored.
Once you have saved your report/BI criteria:
-
Navigate to the URL, and the report will be run.
A 'File Download' security warning displays.
-
To open the report/BI and view it, click 'Open'.
The desired report displays.

Use the location explorer to navigate to the system folder to which you save the file.
