Modifying Entity Properties

Applies to: Kyvos Reporting

You can modify the names of certain repository entities—such as Category, Report, Deployment, Query Object, Parameter Object, and Cube Object—directly within the configuration file. These modifications are reflected only on your local system and do not alter the central Kyvos Reporting repository.

Example

If you rename the category Demo to Demotest, the category’s identity in the central repository remains unchanged. The updated name is reflected only in your local configuration file.

To modify an entity name:

1. On the iPackager configuration screen (name.conf):

2. Right-click the desired entity (for example, a category named Demo) and select Properties.

Open

3. The Category Properties screen appears.

   Open

   

4. Update the name as required.

5. Click Update to save changes.

Setting Deployment Actions

Kyvos Reporting allows you to define conditional actions for each entity when the CAB file is deployed. These settings ensure controlled and automated behavior during repository updates.

If Entity Exists in Target Repository

• Overwrite: Replaces the existing entity with the one in the CAB file.

• Delete: Removes the existing entity from the repository.

• Cascade Delete: Deletes the selected folder along with all its subfolders and objects.

  • This option is available only for parent-level entities such as Categories.

  • It is not available for individual items within a category (e.g., Query Objects).

If Entity Does Not Exist in Target Repository

• Add: Adds the entity from the CAB file to the repository.
