hi,
"Publishing" is the process of making documents such as Crystal reports,
Web Intelligence documents, and Desktop Intelligence documents publicly
available for mass consumption. The contents of these documents can be
distributed automatically via email or FTP, saved to disk, or managed through
the BusinessObjects Enterprise platform for web viewing, archiving, and
retrieval, and automated through the use of scheduling. From within InfoView
or the CMC, you can take documents and tailor them for different users or
recipients; schedule a publication to run at specified intervals; and send it to
a number of destinations, including recipients' Business Objects inboxes and
email addresses.
A "publication" is a collection of documents intended for distribution to a
mass audience. Before the documents are distributed, the publisher defines
the publication using a collection of metadata. This metadata includes the
publication source, its recipients, and the personalization applied.
Publications can help you send information through your organization more
efficiently:
u2022 They allow you to easily distribute information to individuals or groups of
users and personalize the information each user or group receives.
u2022 They provide delivery of targeted business information to groups or
individuals through a password-protected portal, across an intranet, an
extranet, or the Internet.
u2022 They minimize database access by eliminating the need for users to send
process requests themselves.
You can create different types of publications based on Crystal reports,
Desktop Intelligence documents, or Web Intelligence documents.
