InfoCenter Installation and Configuration

Scenario

You want to integrate the InfoCenter extension module with the Desigo CC management platform, migrate the InfoCenter templates, and then configure and run the reports manually or schedule them to run automatically.

You can also run the InfoCenter Migration Tool to migrate custom InfoCenter templates that can easily be run in Desigo CC with minimal configuration time. See Running the InfoCenter Migration Tool.

TIP: You can create a custom view that lists all the reports. Then, in Step 4. Configure Web Rules for InfoCenter below, use an object from the custom view as the trigger object for the report. For more information on creating custom views, search the Desigo CC online help for “Views.”

For background information, see the reference section.

Prerequisites

• The InfoCenter extension module is installed and added to the project.
• Advanced Reporting is configured and the InfoCenter templates are synchronized during the Advanced Reporting template synchronization step. In the Desigo CC Help Search for Installing and Configuring Advanced Reporting for that workflow.
  NOTE: It is advisable to become familiar with the Advanced Reporting extension.
• Please note that the InfoCenter SQL database and the Desigo CC HDB database cannot reside on the same management station.
• The user performing the following workflow, should have access to all the data points that may be included in the reports.
