Folders group reports and QMF objects. Folders are named according to object owner names. You can perform the same operations on folders that you do on reports, such as running reports and defining report properties.
To run the reports within a folder consecutively, click on the folder, then select Report--> Run.
QMF Report Center contains two top-level folders where you can store reports. The folders contain reports that point to objects on servers. The actual objects are not contained within your Favorites folders.
You may have access to several Public Favorites folders at several different servers, depending on your resource limits.
When you copy QMF objects to your Favorites folders and Public Favorites folders, the folders are renamed automatically to include the object type and owner name. When you copy an entire object type (for example, a folder containing procedures) from a server, the server name is also included in the new folder name.
You can add any object or report from a server to your Favorites folders, or to the Public Favorites folder on a server (with permission from your system administrator).
