Tools Ribbon

The Tools ribbon contains many of the specific Tools designed to help you manage and view activities in Prospero.

 

 

The features available on this ribbon include:

      Current Users List – Displays the current active users logged in to the system.

      Activity Log – Opens an activity log to view routine system activity such as updates, deletions, or additions to data or items within Prospero.

      Error Log – Opens a log of errors, messages, and other events that may help troubleshoot issues in Prospero.

      Import Definitions – This option allows you to import Report Definitions from one Prospero instance or entity to another. The Report Definition and its elements – Lines, Columns or Trees – must first be exported from the Catalog View located on the Reports Navigation pane.

For more information on Importing and Exporting Report Definitions, see the section in Report Definitions.

      Send Message – Allows you to send a message to all users who are currently logged in to Prospero. The message will appear as a pop-up on the user’s Prospero workspace.

      Remove Lock – Allows you to remove locks on Prospero elements – such as Line, Column, or Report Definitions – to allow other users to access them. Locks on elements can occur if Prospero closes unexpectedly for any reason.

      Resummarize – Re-summarizes data related to Trees to verify that summary calculations in Prospero are correct.

      Data Extract – Allows you to extract segment data directly from the Prospero database. The data you extract must correspond to a Column Definition (periods only), which can then be exported to an Excel file or viewed in the workspace.
