Publish for BA Access Only

A report can be published for access via IFS Business Analytics only, by selecting the check box Publish for BA Access Only in options. This functionality allows a report designer to analyze performance of an IFS Business Analytics report prior to publishing it in IFS Info Services for general access. In order to run the report, use the Order Report dialog box in the End User Mode.
