Adjusting the angles of graphs in Disco Viewer or Dashboard by mouse

Can we adjust the angles(degrees) of graphs in Disco Viewer or Dashboard by just pushing the mouse?
Thanks

Hi Disco Newbie
Gosh, if I could get my hands on some pre-built finanial dashboards for Discoverer just imagine what I can do.
I'm afraid that dashboards are unique to an organization and what works in one place will not be suitable in another. But of course, it all depends on your definition of a dashboard. The one that I like and the one that keeps me out of mischief is this one:
A dashboard or dash board is a panel located under the windscreen containing indicators and dials such as the tachometer / speedometer and odometer.
I bet you never thought it was so easy.
Seriously, look again at this definition and you will see the foundation of a business dashboard. It's not the dials such as the tachometer, odometer, fuel gauge and temperature gauge that are important. It's not the numbers either.
What is really important is the meaning or significance (aka KPI) that we apply to those numbers. Thus, depending upon the situation a speed of 100 mph might be considered bad, particularly if being chased by an irate police officer down a busy city street. Do the same thing on a race track and you might be considered a menace for going too slow. But do 100 mph on an autobahn in Germany and no-one will bat an eyelid because it is perfectly acceptable.
The concept of dashboards in automobiles and in business are the same - they give you a snapshot of critical information at a glance. If you do happen to be running out of petrol the dashboard will automatically start the indicator to bring this fact to your attention upon a certain critical low point being reached.
Similarly, your business dashboards need to provide all of the critical information that is needed to run your daily operations. They can tell you if you are spending your petrol allowance.. oops I meant to say spending your company cash too fast; what is the cash flow; what is the percentage of patients who needed a repeat visit; how many requests for service were denied this week, and how does this compare with last week - and so on.
In a business, you can imagine that every employee has a steering wheel and an accelerator pedal but it is not necessary that everyone gets a full-blown dashboard. Since the user roles are different they do not need the same level and kind of information. The worker bees need to work and the managers need to manage. Typically only the higher executives will get the full dashboard priviliges. They want to manage by exception and will only become really interested when something out of the ordinary happens.
Thus, this is where you ought to begin. You need to find some metrics that when applied against a set of criteria will either have a value above, equal to or below the criteria. Since your boss has the dashboard access he or she can tell at a glance if the company is running out of petrol, or whether the dashboard can be closed for another day and he or she can get back to the golf course!
Does this brief and hopefully amusing overview of dashboarding help?

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

I cant see the graph in discoverer viewer whith was created in the desktop

Hi,
I need your help!! I have a problem to see a graph in Discoverer viewer. I will detail you the steps that I follow;
It was a difficult calculate report to results by Discoverer so, I create a view in the data base which show 3 field, Periodo(number) which is a union whit other field from other folder, State(varchar), Requirement(number).
From the discoverer desktop y have a crosstab worksheets and a graph, there I can see it without problem, but in the Discoverer viewer I can see the graph.
I tried to set the worksheets options in “show options” to show me the graphs too, but this options didn’t appeared there. Somebody know what I should have to do to see it?
On the other hand I changed the “show null values show” option since null to empty, and when I wanted to save the change this error appeared;
“Oracle BI Discoverer don’t had to found the necessary values to show the events…”
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Dora

Hi Dora,
The graphs that you create using Discoverer Plus will show nicely in Viewer. Everything you develop in Pluys works in Viewer. They are companion products.
You must realize that Discoverer Plus/Viewer and Desktop are two seperate product sets and they use different techniques for graph creation. There are other differencies between the two that suggests that you need to develop all reports using Discoverer Plus in stead of Discoverer Desktop.
I have experienced workbook created in Plus being destroyed when opened and saved using Desktop. So for a long time I have simply forgotten all about Desktop. If your company is relying on both Viewer and Dersktop I suggest that the time has come to change strategy and technique.
If you need sparring please mail to [email protected]
Good Luck!

Please help. My Adobe InDesign document keeps crashing when I adjust the screen resolution to High in the View menu. Desperately trying to get my magazines prepared for press today! HELP!
My magazine last month is still working ok - but this month's version has just started crashing for some reason.

We can't know. You have not provided any system info, not told us what version of ID you use nor provided any specifics about the document like images, color profiles, fonts, paragraph styles and what have you...

How do I view the height and width of an image as I adjust the crop handles

How do I view the height and width in pixels of an image as I adjust the crop handles before I actually crop the image?

If you are in Photoshop CC, go into Preferences, click Interface, and turn on Show Transformation Values. In the picture below, setting it to Top Right means the pixel height and width appear to the Top Right of the Crop tool pointer.
(Edit: The picture only shows Height because the bottom edge is being dragged. If a corner was being dragged it would say H and V.)

How can I get Disco Viewer to remember the user's final filtered worksheet?

Hi every one:
How can I get Disco Viewer to remember the user's final filtered worksheet?
Each time the users login they have to make several operations (drillings, pivots, etc) to get their reports customized as they want. I wonder if is there a chance I could configure Disco Viewer in order to remember the last worksheet layout, and set it as the initial worksheet the next time the user login?
Thanks in Advance
Jorge

Once your users have customised the report to their requirements, they can add the URL of final data diaplay screen to their favourites menu in the browser.
Next time they want to run the same report, they can access the URL saved into favourites, they'll just need to enter their password to run the report when prompted.
I know that this works with Oracle Applications user id's, and that the URL "remembers" User Name, Oracle Apps Responsibility, Workbook Name, and Paramteters Used, Table Layout Customisations, and Page Item selections... so in theory it should record Drill information too.

Using Aperture, is it possible to do perspective or parallax correction? Say I've taken a photo of a rectange and the angles of the rectangle need to be adjusted so that each corner is 90 degrees.

Using Aperture, is it possible to do perspective (or parallax) correction? Say I've taken a photo of a rectange, a painting for example, and the angles of the rectangle need to be adjusted so that each corner is 90 degrees. When I was using a PC, I often did this with Corel Paint Show Pro, which makes this an easy job, but now I'm using MacBook with Aperture and have so far failed to find this feature.

Aperture seems to maintain a one-to-one correspondence between imported pixels and pixels in adjusted Images. Distorting the Image creates a one-to-many relationship. My guess is that this introduces the need for a second level of information storage (in fact, a whole new file). Aperture is expressly designed to avoid that.
I'm just guessing about Aperture (having felt all around it, but still blindfolded), but I thought it might help to comprehend this basic limitation of Aperture and how it determines the workflow one uses for Aperture.

How can I adjust event window size while in day view on ical?

How can I adjust the all-day event window size while in day view on ical? I have thee all-day events, but they're just a little too big to simultaneously appear without having to scroll up/down the all-day event section.

{Ctrl + Scroll wheel} does a Page Zoom and that setting is saved domain by domain.

How can I adjust the font size in iTunes 11?

How can I adjust the font size in iTunes 11? Specifically, when in Artist view both the text in the sidebar and the track listing are huge.

How to change fontsize in iTunes
Take an XML-Editor and open:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\TextStyles.plist"
For other languages change your country code (de, en, fr, pl ...).
Example for english: "\en.lproj\TextStyles.plist".
Backup this File !!!
To change the Text-Size, change the integer value of the following item:
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>8</integer>"
This means Text-Size 8
"<key>size</key>"
"<integer>12</integer>"
This means Text-Size 12
To change the font, change the integer value of the following item:
<key>font</key>
<string>Arial</string>
This means the font changes to Arial
This also works:
<key>italic</key>
<true/>
<key>bold</key>
<true/>
<key>underline</key>
<true/>

Can't adjust the default time scale when creating a new appointment in Outlook 2010

Good Afternoon, I have found a question on these community boards that propose an issue that I am currently experiencing. The answer; however, was not the solution for me. I used the same name as the original post and will add the original text as it is
exactly what I am experiencing.
"When creating a new appointment in the month view Outlook 2010, the default time scale or duration is 2 days. I tried resetting the view, adjusting the time scale, and creating a new profile. It only seems to happen when creating the appointment
in the Month view. ??? Day and week view work fine and appointment can be created w the standard 30 minute time scale. But the time scale in the month view although says 30 mins, it creates appointments in 2 day durations."
This is exactly what happens to the user I am assisting. When in "month view" double clicking the day will bring up a new appointment with the times within the same day. If you click the "new appointment" button in the ribbon it
sets the end time to the following day. This only happens in the month view every other view works as it normally should. I have tried it several times being sure multiple days are not selected. It still gives me an end time for the following day. I have reset
the view, changed the time scale but nothing seems to bring it back to the default same day appointment. Any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

It is a default in Outlook 2010 in month view. The "time scale" selection is greyed out. Very frustrating. Everytime I select "New Appointment," a duration of 1 day is automatically selected; midnight to midnight. I end up doing
most appointments twice because I forget to change to end date back to the day of the appointment. "New meeting Request" works fine. So does "New All Day Event" when you deselect "All Day Event." I can't see how this default behavior
provides optimal results under any circumstances. Very frustrating.

How do I adjust the size of program fonts to accommodate low vision users?

Is it possible to adjust the size of program text to accommodate low vision users, like an enlarge text button or CTRL + zoom text function like in my browser?
I know I am not the first person to approach this issue. Since PSE 5 the text sizes have been getting smaller each version and even harder to read, and now that screens are much larger, it makes the menu text even smaller. I predict that by v. 20, users will have to just memorize where to put their cursor to click on a menu item.
I have already adjusted my system text sizes to 175% but it does no good for PSE, if I use the zoom entire screen, I can only view 1/4 of the workspace at a time. There really should be an easy way to personalize your workspace. I have to reduce my screen resolution to 800x600 and change back to 1920x1080 to view the item in it's intended location each time I edit or create images and cannot work on the document that I am creating or editing a graphic at the same time. What a huge inconvenience.
I have resorted to keeping my binoculars next to my computer for just this reason. Picture it... binoculars to select anything on a menu. In a way I feel like a prisoner. Who are the quality control people, anyone that suffers with low vision? The last major problem I had to live with, PSE 10's gray on black! Find the scroll button when your eyes are tired! LOL.
There are major reasons why I stick to PSE too, so changing programs is not a viable option for me.

I am assuming that you are on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Not sure if there is another way, but the way that works for me
a. right click the computer taskbar, and click on Cascade Windows
b. in the Premiere Elements Expert workspace, go the the bottom right edge of the workspace view, place the mouse cursor at that point until its tip has a diagonal icon, and then drag upward right to left diagonally to give some view of the desktop where I have the file for the drag and drop into Premiere Elements....then drag and drop the supported file into the Timeline or Project Assets or a drag and drop location.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thank you.

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
Cheers

How do you adjust the size of icons in folders?

I downloaded an application and inside it's folder in applications, the icons are gigantic. Larger than all my other icons. Is there like a size adjustment somewhere? They also move around weird when I try to drag them which I think had something to do with their size.

Hello friend18,
When you have the folder open go to the View Menu>Show View Options. There should be a slider that will adjust the icons to where you would like and then tick the box for This Window Only.
let us know if that is not the problem.

How can I adjust the font size, etc., when completing a PDF form in Preview?

I would like to use Preview to fill-out or complete a PDF form. The default font that Preview uses when I begin typing in a field is too large. How can I adjust the font size. And while I'm asking, can I also adjust the font color, weight, emphasis, etc.?

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.
