Subscribing to WebFOCUS Reports Using the WebFOCUS App Watch Feature

The WebFOCUS app provides the native consumption of WebFOCUS content on Apple mobile devices. This allows for normal access to WebFOCUS reports, opening email attachments, such as active reports and active dashboards, as well as subscribing to reports when new versions become available. The WebFOCUS app provides easy access to both online and offline content that is otherwise difficult to access in the Apple enclosed and secure ecosystem.

Making all BI content available through WebFOCUS is as easy as right-clicking any report from within the WebFOCUS Home Page and adding it as a Favorite or adding a FAVES tag to it once it is in the Favorites folder. However, when it comes to subscribing to a report so that it can be pushed to the WebFOCUS app, some preliminary steps must be completed. This includes scheduling the WebFOCUS report with ReportCaster, adding the report to the Report Library, and then exposing the Report Library item on the Home Page.
