Getting Started with BI Launch Pad

The new BI Launch Pad is a modern version of the classic BI Launch Pad application, built for maximum productivity. It has a user experience that makes the user interface (UI) simple and intuitive. With the ever-so-simplified UI, it is now that much simpler to access, view, organize, and manage your BI objects. This documentation provides information and instructions for using the BI Launch Pad.

The BI Launch Pad application runs in a web browser and is the main interface for working with objects in the BI platform. You use the BI Launch Pad to perform the following tasks:
  • Access and organize Crystal reports, Web Intelligence documents, and other objects.
  • View information in a web browser, export it to other business applications (such as Microsoft Excel), and save it to a specified location.
  • You can create and edit the documents.
  • Use analytic tools to explore business information in detail.

You can now customize the home page of the BI Launch Pad.
