Answers View Selector Labels

I created an answers report that contains 1 table and 2 charts. I also use the view selector to give the user the option of switching between tables and charts. My question is can I rename the charts so that they show up as something other than 'Chart 1' and 'Chart 2' in the view selector, as these labels do not give the user a good idea of what the charts contain?

Hi Paul,
This can be done when you are creating the View Selector.
When you are creating the view selector, you have a "Rename" option at the bottom of the box "View Selected".
Click on the view and click on the rename button to rename the view.
Hope this will help.
Thanks

View Selector left position

Hi Everyone,
Can somebody help me, for one of my Dashboard reporting(on OBIEE 11g), I am using 'View Selector'(two VIEWS, both are Pivot views) to show an Analysis report. One of the VIEW is really wide, 'View Selector' option is showing up at top center of the report. Is there a way, to show this 'View Selector' option at the top left of the report, rather than top center. I would really appreciate it.
This is my first posting, please let me know, if I did'nt explained it good enough.
Jeeva

Hi Jeeva,
I have came across the same type of the requirement and i found a new trick to over come this type puzzles in Obiee 11g. Below is the steps for the solution;
1) Go the the EDIT VIEW of the View Selector
2) Select the Caption position as 'Right' in the dropdown list.
3) Go to the Format Caption and in the Additional Formatting Options, put some Right Padding say eg: 1000 or 1500 according to the width of your view.
4) Select Done and save the view.
Now you can able to see the view selector in the left top corner of the view and also you can able to do the same for the right most of your view by the same trick. The only thing is that the Label of the view selector is in the right side of the dropdown rather than the left, but that should be fine i guess.
Please Excuse if its not relevant or the one that you are expected...
Cheers & Thanks,

View Selector - Switch issue between Graph and Table Data

Hi:
We have created the report with both Table view and Chart View. Both of them has been added to the View Selector and added to the Dashboard. While performing the testing we found that sometimes the Switch between the views are not happening. Meaning when we try to switch from Chart View to Table View, the View changes in the drop down but the original Graph to table will not switch. In order to make that happen we need to try 3 or 4 times across the drop downs from Table to Chart and then chart to table.
Did any one face the similar issue. Any suggestions or insights on this.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards
Sunil Kumar T.S.

hey there RAM,
here are a few tips...
1. what is the table field with the right value? and is this table field in the *itm extractor?
2. can you include this field into the extractor?
3. could it be a calculated value?
hope this helps.

Gantt Chart View not listed in View Selector

View Selector is missing view of type “Gantt” for List based on list template “171” i.e. “TasksWithTimelineAndHierarchy”
Missing Gantt View
Visible in Ribbon
What we have done to create the Gantt view is as follows
We are working with remote provisioning pattern to provision the site and required lists
A Task List is provisioned using CSOM (Managed .Net) via a Provider Hosted App that is hosted as Azure Web Site
We are creating a view based of type “Gantt”
Sample ViewXml used for creating the view. Highlighted below is the property we have set for the same
<View>
<Title>Tasks_View_GanttChart</Title>
<DefaultView>false</DefaultView>
<PersonalView>false</PersonalView>
<RowLimit>30</RowLimit>
<Paged>true</Paged>
<Scope>DefaultValue</Scope>
<ViewType>Gantt</ViewType>
</View>
Standard View Menu (View Selector) does not show Custom Gantt chart (created via CSOM) in the menu list. Refer screenshot mentioned earlier
Custom Gantt chart view is available in ribbon menu though
The same custom Gantt chart is visible in the standard menu if we are in “out of the box Gantt chart View” (Below ‘OOTB Gant chart’ is created from front end using the template ‘Gantt chart view’)
Sample Code used to create the view
ViewCreationInformation viewInfo = new ViewCreationInformation()
Title = listViewTemplate.Title,
ViewFields = viewFields,
SetAsDefaultView = isDefaultView,
PersonalView = isPersonalView,
Query = query.ToString(),
RowLimit = rowLimit,
Paged = paged,
ViewTypeKind = viewType
View view = list.Views.Add(viewInfo);
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
Any clue on this behavior? We have the same issue with Calendar View Type as well for the Calendar List.

I found solution:
You need modify XsltListViewWebPart tool bar option from one value to another, and then back. That solves that bug in SharePoint.
public static void FixGanttIssue(SPList list, string ViewName)
SPSite site = list.ParentWeb.Site;
SPLimitedWebPartManager AllItemsMan = site.RootWeb.GetFile(list.Views[ViewName].Url).GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
XsltListViewWebPart wp = (XsltListViewWebPart)AllItemsMan.WebParts[0];
wp.Toolbar = "Summary Toolbar";
AllItemsMan.SaveChanges(wp);
wp.Toolbar = "Full Toolbar";
AllItemsMan.SaveChanges(wp);

Prompt used as view selector for multiple reports

Hi All,
Can a dashboard prompt be used as View Selector for multiple reports? If yes, please let me know how?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
You can do this with Dashboard prompts, but it's a little tricky. I'll highlight the process below. Keep In mind I assume you have three reports already created and have three views: View 1, View 2 and View 3.
Phase I: The Dashboard Prompt
1. Create a new dashboard prompt.
2. Add any single column to your prompt. It doesn't really matter which one (just make sure nothing is prompted on it to be safe).
3. For the sake of this example, I'll assume we added column: "Test Folder"."Test Field"
4. Make sure your Operator is "is equal to/is in"
5. Make sure the control is "Drop-down List"
6. Change the Show to "SQL Results"
7. Write a SQL statement similar to the following (TEST =<your subject area>, "Test Folder"."Test Field" = <your column>):
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 1' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 2' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 3' END
FROM TEST
**Note: The reason why we need to do the CASE statement is because every logical query needs at least 1 presentation column. The case statement is a way to include the presentation column, but since the statement 1=2 is never true, we always use the ELSE condition.
8. Set a presentation variable. Call it VIEW_PVAR
9. Have the Prompt default to Specific Value: View 1
10. Save the Dashboard Prompt and put it into the Dashboard with your reports.
Phase II: Filter Reports
1. Create a new Answer request
2. Bring in your test column twice
3. Change the formula (fx) on the second column to be: '@{VIEW_PVAR}{View 1}'
4. Now add a filter to the presentation variable column
5. Set the operator to "is equal to/is in' and set the value to: View 1
6. Save the Request as "View 1 Filter"
7. Change the value in the filter to: View 2
8. Save the Request as "View 2 Filter"
9. Change the value in the filter to: View 3
10. Save the Request as "View 3 Filter"
Phase III: Guided Navigation
1. Create three sections in your dashboard
2. Rename each section to: View 1, View 2 and View 3 respectively
3. For each of the sections, do the following:
3a. Click on properties
3b. Click on Guided navigation
3c. Set the Guided Navigation to the appropriate Filter report
4. For each of the three sections, do the following:
4a. Add in all three requests
4b. Click on the request properties and select Show and the appropriate view for that section
5. Save your changes to your Dashboard
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

How Both View Selector and Column Selector in one report dashboard section

Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?
env: obiee 10g
Appreciate any links and pointers
Thanks in Advance

hi kris,
Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?Here view selector is nothing but having multiple views and selecting depends on what end user want to see.You are saying in a single report in once section only.
If it is a single report you can go with using a column selector.
Note:-View selector and column selector combination can be used.....but it looks wierd as you need to select view at the same time the corresponding column.
UPDATED POST
Yes you can have it by creating different compound layouts with pivots in it.

OBIEE 11g - View selector performance with YTD,MTD,Dept ...

We are implementing BI Apps 7963 OBIEE 11.1.5. Financial Analytics. We have a financial report with multiple compound layout views MTD,YTD, by company, by dept.We are experiencing some memory leak issues by Sawserver when we run the report. How does the view selector works ? does it run the query in Database when first time report is accessed and then build all these different views on BI server or query will be run against database for specific view when accessed? Any known performance issues with view selectors ? Any one used view selector for different versions of reports (MTD, YTD ..).
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I am experiencing performance issues with view selector. It repeats the SQL for each view resulting in duplicate SQL to be run and thus resulting in poor performance of reports. Is this an expected behavior of view selector?
Thanks.

Compound layout in View selector possible in OBIEE 10g but not in OBIEE 11

Hi!
I am Claire. I have created 3 compound layout and I wanted it to be included in my view selector. I noticed that I is not possible in BI 11g but was previously possible in Bi 10G. Kindly help me on this matter. The compound layout is not appearing in the available views in the EDIT VIEW selector Page.
Your Prompt response on this matter is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claire

Claire,
This is no longer possible. And actually in OBIEE 10g it was only possible in the Original Compound layout. Meaning that if you created compound layout #2 you could not leverage "Compound Layout" (the original / default one) inside of a view selector or as a view inside "Compound Layout #2".
If you look at the OBI 10g documentation you will see that it states that a Compound Layout is a "view" which can contain other views.
In the OBI 11g documentation it states that the Compound Layout is a container.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10544/appbuir.htm#BGBIDGDA
This new nomenclature and definition is the delineating factor and the reason you can no longer achieve that functionality in the same way you did in 10g
I hope that helps.

How to displayed multiple report in View selector in OBIEE

I have one table in that AM and PM hours wise data is having.My requirement is if I select in filter AM or PM the respect data only displayed in the below report.How it is possible other wise how to use in View selector.
Edited by: user8035288 on Mar 23, 2009 10:40 PM

hi..
you have changed your subject name from column selector to View Selector.. :-)
To do this,
I assuming that AM and PM are columns
Create a pivot view with AM column and PM column is excluded here...
Create another Pivot with PM and AM excluded..
Now go to view selector, from the available view select Pivot, and Pivot1 views Rename them as you want to show in drop down..
add View Selector to Compound Layout..
If AM, PM are values, then just keep the corresponding column in Pages of Pivot .. which acts as prompt...
You need not to go for view selector in this case....

Programmatically created calendar view does not appear on view selector menu

Hi!
I'm using the following code to create a calendar view for a list:
using (var site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
var viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection { dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName, titleFieldName };
var query = string.Format("<Where><DateRangesOverlap><FieldRef Name='{0}' /><FieldRef Name='{1}' /><Value Type='DateTime'><Month /></Value></DateRangesOverlap></Where>", dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName);
var viewData = string.Format("<FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarMonthTitle' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarWeekTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarWeekLocation' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarDayTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarDayLocation' />", titleFieldName);
var list = site.RootWeb.Lists["ESM Leaves"];
var newView = list.Views.Add("Calendar11", viewFields, query, 0, true, false, SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar, false);
newView.ViewData = viewData;
newView.MobileView = true;
newView.Update();
list.Update();
My problem is that even though the view is created, it does not appear in the View links just above my list. It only appears in the drop down menu of views in the ribbon. On the contrary, if I create the view using the browser user interface (not programmatically),
the view appears in both places.
Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
Dimitris Papadimitriou, Software Development Professional

Hi papadi,
I can reproduce the issue that creating calendar view using programming method, the view isn’t shown in view selector menu, and this only happens to calendar view, html view or other views are shown in the menu.
After editing the web part, disable the selector menu, then re-enable the selector menu again, I can see the calendar view shown in the view selector menu, create a new calendar view using programming, the calendar view shows as expected.
This seems indicate there is some issue in the view selector menu display, I would suggest you to first disable the view selector menu through edit the web part properties, then create the calendar view.
Thanks,
Qiao

This requirement can be archived by View Selector got it from Kishore, . Can any one help me out on this,
Appreciate your Help.

K,
go to pivot table, keep all necessary columns: Market and other 5 columns and exclude remaining columns...
Now, go to another, i.e. Pivot:2, here put Product and other 3 columns .
Now you go to View Selector ... Add Pivot 1, pivot 2 from selection pane to right pane..
Rename each view to Market, Product respectively..
add only view selector to compound layout.
