Using InfoAssist Basic, you can create a customized report, organize report output with sorting, change a column heading and format, add a page heading and footing, enhance the appearance of the report, create a matrix report, and validate and test your work.

Accessing InfoAssist Basic

To access InfoAssist Basic, type valid credentials in the WebFOCUS Sign In page and click Sign In. InfoAssist Basic has a unique license code that distinguishes it from the complete version of InfoAssist.

InfoMini

You have the option to activate InfoMini when you create a report. When you run a report with InfoMini activated, an InfoMini application is launched. An InfoMini application contains a subset of the functionality available to a full InfoAssist report. You can limit or expand the functionality that is available to the user at run time when you build the report.

An InfoMini application opens in its own browser window if it is running from InfoAssist.
