Business Objects (BO) reports stored in Launch Pad for public use should not be saved with data. Also, when sharing documents with others, you should always clear the data stored in the BO document to prevent sharing unauthorized information. Users' security access differ due to various data, so be sure to make data available only to those who need that specific data.
You can purge data from a report by following these steps:
- Log in to Business Objects Launch Pad.
- In Modify, open the report you want to purge.
- Under Query, select the three dots (...) and choose Purge Data... from the drop-down menu.
Note: If the report has more than one query, you have the option of purging the data from individual queries or from all data. - Select Purge to purge the data from the report. If the report includes prompts, you'll have the option of clearing the prompt values.
- Select the Save menu, then Save, and Save As to save the report.
- Close the report.
