For all your above requirements(point 1 to 4) go through the XIr2 documentation guides from here
But remember that BOB is not a place to prepare for interviews
For interview related questions a link was already given for sticky topic in General discussion forum

Difference Between WEBI and DESKI
WEBI Timeout Error can appear and DESKI No Timeout error
DeskI is full-client software and meant for the desktop and must be installed for every user, WebI is web based
Deski
WEBI
In webi,you cannot associate a condition to the block or cell to hide it from displaying in report,(but we can hide a section when certain value is zero)but in deski we can do
server side data ranking is possible in Webi but not in Deski
In webi you can have the custom calendar object but not in deski.
Alternating row shading can be done in webi thru alternate row shading property, but in deski we need to create a formulae for fetching the row numbers and creating alerter.
Prompt order can be done in the query panel (prompt order) itself in webi, whereas in deski, we need to start the prompt text with numeric like 1.select state
Web Intelligence does not have User-Defined Objects, whereas deski does
Custom calendar object is not available in Deski where as Webi does.
Webi, you can only create reports using universe.,But in Deski we can create report from other data providers like excel, free hand sql and universe.
ZABO and FULL CLIENT difference
ZABO cannot use either personal connections nor FreeHand SQL but DESKI can.
With ZABO, all database connections are managed by the ZABO/WebI server. With full-client, database middleware and related configuration is on each workstation.
So, Full-Client Reporter is a “2-tier” tool – the Reporter module sends the query to the database, and the results are brought right back to your computer.
Reporter <–> Database
ZABO is a “3-tier” tool – the ZABO Reporter module formulates the query, and sends it to the ZABO/WebI server, which then sends the query to the database (using the database middleware and configuration on the server) – the ZABO/WebI server receives the data cube back – and then forwards the data cube to the ZABO client.
ZABO Reporter <–> WebI Server <–> Database
Once I collected this much differences on this forum. This might help you. But I too don’t have the clear picture of ZABO and DESKI.
Note: Please try to avoid asking for interview questions.

Aniket, the Slice and Dice functionality is available in both - only the S&D panel is ‘missing’ in Webi.
Quite. Please do your some research, these have all been asked and discussed before.

, But practically I was right… I think so.
aniketp (BOB member since 2007-10-05)
Please remember that
Desktop Intelligence
Web Intelligence
Infoview
Are three entirely discrete components of the Business Objects suite. Remember, Web Intelligence is NOT Infoview.

Umm no.
Whether intended or not you implied that you cannot S&D in Webi - which you can do. All that is missing is some irrelevant S&D panel.
dessa (BOB member since 2004-01-29)
I apologize. Thanks for your answer.

Hi,
Would you please explain how you do this?
Thanks

I never tried this and never followed this, as It was never my requirement, and that’s why I wrote:
aniketp (BOB member since 2007-10-05)
So why posting something that you have not tried and you are not sure whether it really works 
Or even posting something that does not work and can mislead/confuse the original poster
Marek Chladny (BOB member since 2003-11-27)
But at least he or she can get the idea or can try.
It was with me, so I posted and it might be possible that this thing can misguide but it is more beneficial to the poster.
So I posted, rest if you think I made mistake, I apologize.
aniketp (BOB member since 2007-10-05)
This can only be done via two work arounds in Deski, I’m sure you know what they are, Marek:-
Creating two versions of the table and conditionally hide one with or without the column as appropriate.
Hide the column via an alert.
You cvan also do similar techniques using filters, hide block when empty and alerts in Webi…
Mak 1 (BOB member since 2005-01-06)
Mak 1, I know this of course. But these are workarounds how to get columns hidden. It’s not direct conditional hiding of columns as the post suggests.
Marek Chladny (BOB member since 2003-11-27)
Exactly, I thought I would post them, as workarounds, just to take this confusion out of the topic.
To be very candid, I think people should only post if they have something useful to say.
This can be anything from a rough idea / suggestion to an actual solution IMO.
Recently, I have seen a lot of garbage posted on to this forum and I try nicely to suggest when someone has suggested something wrong.
Which, incidently, I have myself on a few occasions… 
.
Mak 1 (BOB member since 2005-01-06)
Very true.
But now if we take today’s example, due to this posts I think many members will be cleared with this confusion as an example I am cleared.
And I only attempted to solve the issue.
