LBI Documentation Help

Look up Elements, Structures and User/Group Rules. Send me an email and I'll send you some documentation I did for another client.

The steps are contained in the Report Administration Guide. Go to My Lawson - My Products then click the link to download products. From there expand LBI twice then click the LBI link.

From here you can download the assorted guides. Also the last item on the page will take you to the LBI Library.

David:
I sent you an email. Thx!

Matt:
I followed your steps and found this book: Reporting Services and Report Bursting User and Administration Guide. Is that book you were referring to?
Thx!

Yeah, if you got the 9.0.3 version published May 2008 start with page 14 "Report bursting and filtering" and for a more technical overviw you should be able to find what youre looking for in Chapter 3 starting on Page 70.

Ok so I followed the steps in the document and it works as they show. However, this is not what I am looking for, exactly.

I want the report when displayed on the dashboard to automatically detect who is logged in, determine the major classes they are assigned to and then filter the report to their assigned major purchase class. In following the steps in the book, I end up "hard-coding" a user profile with a major purchase class. Thus each time the class changes or a users class assignments change I would have to maintain the elements and structures in reporting admin? Please correct me if I am wrong here?

Thanks in advance to all that reply!

And thus is the conundrum of Rights Management. There is no turn key solution for integrating Lawson Security with Rights Management. What we've done in the past is create an ETL process using an Oracle or Microsoft tool to extract the previously set up security (Lawson and non-Lawson) and load it into Reporting Services Rights Management.

I dont like representing the company I work for here, as its a public bulletin board, but if youre interested Im giving a webinar tomorrow on this topic and I can post the link (provided John is ok with that) .

thanks,
matt

Are you referring to the JGI webinar going on tomorrow @ 2pm? If yes, I have already registered for that one.
