When users click on a report link, the report appears in the web browser window. They are administered only over the Web. Channels are secure. They use the same security scheme as Actuate Encyclopedia folders and items. Channels have unique names.
Every user has a default personal channel.
This is the user's Report Server Completed folder. Channels receive notifications when reports generated for the channel are complete. Reports in channels can display headlines that describe the reports. This headline appears when listing the contents of a channel. Channel items expire after a given time period and are automatically removed from the channel.
