Manoj Chaurasia Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi Naeem App Studio 8207 does not provide the ability to create a Portal you have to do this from the Web Interface. Here is a link to a video you may already have. https://webfocusinfocenter.informationbuilders.com/wfdesigner/videos7/Building_a_Portal_8207.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Hinchliffe Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 As mentioned, you cant build a portal in App Studio. You can build HTML pages with HTML Composer, including tabs etc. So I guess the question is, What do you mean by create Portals with tabs for different application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naeem Sufi 3 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 I am trying to replace what we have in 8.1.5M Views where users login and they are presented to Views they have access to image.png75490 6.44 KB It provides access to different reports for each group plus access to Library I created Portal in 8.2.7 I can run different reports trying to figure how I can display Library Link In App Studio I was referring to BIP image.png927208 22 KB Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naeem Sufi 3 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thank Chuck Yes I watched that video and was able to create portal but I need to be able to show link for Library so you users access library from the same portal Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Yergeau Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Naeem, In your portal design you can have a tool bar displayed. From that tool bar you select to display Tools. image.png845100 6.73 KB And from the Security Center / Roles, you give access to see the tools you want image.png906661 79.5 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Mills Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi Naeem I think the plan is to focus more on building Pages than on building a whole Portal. Looks like you have some older BIPs - are they working for you in 8207 Just curious. We converted ours from V3 to V4 (collaborative BIPs) so we can see them without having to go to the Legacy View. They mostly work - we did have to go fix a few things though. Also, if youre making a new portal, if youve got 8207.24 or higher, the new (to 8207) Workbench widget is in there so you can display a list of reports on the left and your output window on the right. Looks like you might want that. Were doing a similar thing where we want to see the Deferred Status on a separate tab too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naeem Sufi 3 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thank you Toby info you provided is what I was looking for No they dont even show up in 8207 we have been using View Builder generated Dashboards which worked in 8.1.5M as these were created in ver 7.6.12 But moving to 8.2.7 I read that these Dashboards are not available and it did not convert either . as I did not see them in 8.2.7 so my first priority is to have the users access their reports / library as we have reports that are run via scheduler Yes we have 8207.24 I will try Workbench widget that is what I need and it will provide the same functionality that we are providing today in 8.1.5M Thanks a lot for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Mills Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 No problem Naeem I think youll like it better. The old BID dashboards were so inflexible. You can elect to try the new Portal Pages or use a Collaborative Portal (this is the older technology). Were using collaborative portals instead of the new Portals at present, but I hope to get us going on the newer stuff soon. I guess just start with making pages (assembling visualizations) and later try to build a portal to hold your pages. One tip - I dont want you to do like me and get too deep in this, but since you cant see the source code for your portal pages, what I do is make a CM export package to read whats being placed in the pages. If youre curious about it, you can see how they work. Later! Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naeem Sufi 3 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thank you Toby since I wear multiple hats here so I was busy with other issues I have already created pages now going thru Remediation and I like the new Portal Can I convert the existing Portal to Collaborative portal Yes I will Try the CM export package to see what goes in the pages Since I did the upgrade and focusing on the portal I just noticed that our Reportcaster Library has all the folders and versions but when I click on the version it does not bring any report before I did the upgrade I had our production repository copied over to our SandBox environment where I did the upgrade Installation process migrated the repository to the new 8.2.7 repository RC Library does not have the actual pdf files of the reports Would be curious to know if you or anyone had this issue Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
