Report promotion involves promoting reports from one environment to another i.e. from QA environment to Prod environment. Report promotion not only promotes reports but also the data sources, images and other things associated with the report.
To promote a report you will need to access the Reports menu item. On the Reports screen you will select the promote icon (
).
The promotion screen will be loaded where a connection will be selected from a drop down. The connection refers to a data base connection set up to link to the another environments data base.
Upon selecting the OK button, the user will be directed to the Process Log screen. The process log notes the related data sources, images and attachments that are promoted along with the Report.
