Recommended location

This is the final location searched by Office Plus when it is checking whether there is a default Alea ad-hoc report.

To specify a default Alea ad-hoc report:

  1. Create or select a report to use as the default. The report must have the same name as the cube on which it is based.
  2. Identify where local Office Plus reports are stored.
    To find the location, click Options on the Extras tool bar and then click the General tab of the Options dialog. The location is specified in the Local folder field. By default, the path to the Local folder is: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infor\BI\Local Reports
  3. In a file explorer, browse to the location of the Local folder and create a folder structure beneath it in which to store the default report.
    If the database is hosted on 'localhost', specify a folder path in which the final folder has the same name as the database. For example: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infor\BI\Local Reports\My Default Reports\Best_Practices_Templates_OLAP\

    If the database is hosted anywhere other than 'localhost', specify a folder path in which the penultimate and final folders have, respectively, the same names as the host server and the database. For example: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Infor\BI\Local Reports\My Default Reports\Server001\Best_Practices_Templates_OLAP\

  4. Copy the default report into the final folder of the file structure.

    If you want to use the report only as a default report, you can delete it from Office Plus once you have copied it. Or, move it to the folder structure instead of copying it.
