Does anyone know how a Web Intelligence report can be saved as an HTML file, to be made available (with all its WebI formatting) on a Web Site. The idea is to generate a report in WebI and make it available to viewers who are not set up as WebI/Infoview/Business Objects users. Thanks,

You can do this with the standard full client version using the “Save as HTML” function. The files can then be moved to a site where anyone with a browser can get to the files. We have several reporting systems like this where users have NO BusObj license or access (viewers only don’t need it).

Mike and Jeff,
Thanks for your responses.
I think I will resort to using the full client. It is ironic that a Web version of Business Objects does not allow one to save a report as an HTML page.
Your replies:
You can simply Cut and Paste the report from the Browser (HTML viewer) into something like Word and then save it as a HTML file. Jeff Chrismon

Actuall, it’s not surprising. WebI is a self-contained secure reporting environment. One of the big benefits of it is that HTML pages are not lingering around on your severs. Using full-client with Broadcast Agent is simple and effective. Since BO already had a solution for HTML publishing, why make WebI do it?

Actually you can but its a pain in the butt.
Set your options to HTML instead of using the Active X control.
Open your report and right click anywhere in the report and click View Source This will open notepad/wordpad and you can file–save as from here but you MUST postfix the file name with .html. GL
