These options are also found on the file
menu under Analytics Server.
Figure 6-55 A dialog box allows users to organize a Briefing Book by reordering views
and placing them into folders.

Choosing Publish Book will first ask the user to select the web server running
PAS. Normally this is an internal server and takes the form of http://
/
pas, where ???pas??? is the virtual directory to which PAS was installed. This name can
be changed during installation. Once the user is connected, the dialog box shown in
Figure 6-56 appears, although the user has already clicked the New Library button.
This dialog box allows the user to select an existing library (or, in this case, create one
since none exist) as well as manage books or connect to a different server. A Library
is merely a collection of one or more Briefing Books. Many organizations create a
library per business unit and place all the books for that business unit with that library.
In this example, the user is creating a library simply called Sample Analytics.
Once a library is chosen, the user can enter the name of the book, which defaults
to the name of the Briefing Book file when it was saved on the client machine.
Once the user clicks OK, all the views from that Briefing Book are published to the
server. There is a SQL Server database that stores the view definitions as well as the
Briefing Book names, users, their permissions, and so forth.
