A report folder with numerous report files is generated after a report has been published with the Publisher. These report files contain different important elements that make up the report, some of which can be opened and edited directly by the users. Please see the table below for a summary of these report files.
| Report File | Description |
| atlas.html | This file is the start-up webpage of the report once it is saved on a web server. You can open the report by linking to this file or embedding the report into a webpage. |
| atlas-launch.html | You can use this file to open the report while it is saved on a local or shared drive. Please see Starting Your Dynamic Report for further information, related files and restrictions. |
