Bookmark link on Dashboard page (11g)

Experts,
We have Placed the Create Bookmark link below the reports i.e. we did the below
Action link -> Edit Action link - Text as Create Bookmark Link in Link Text -> Action -> Navigate to BI Content (Dashboard page from Shared folder) -> click OK ->
Check enable the Add to Briefing Book -> Click OK.
For the above it will directly open the dashboard page, but we need to create Prompted bookmark link i.e. where we'll give the prompts values and create the prompted bookmark link, it should open the dashboard page with filtered data.
*(We know the option is available in Edit Dashboard - Create Prompted link, this option should come below the report)*
Thanks,
Balaa...

Kavitha,
Add a Action link -> Edit Action link - give text like Create Bookmark Link in Link Text -> Action
Select the Dashboard page from Shared folder -> click OK -> Check enable the Add to Briefing Book -> Click OK.
Thanks,
Balaa...

Output Bookmark URL to dashboard page

Hi,
Once the user selects 'Create Bookmark Link' from the 'Page Options', is there any way in 11g to output the bookmark URL to the dashboard page/alert rather than the address bar?

RegardsHi,
There is no such in-built functionality available to do that, but one work around I can think of is using the new favorites functionality. You can navigate through the catalog and add the object's that you think are most used by you to the favorite's section. As you probably already know, there is a favorites menu link which you can access these objects you have Favorited from.
For more details refer to this on step to step guide for using favorites: http://deliverbi.blogspot.com/2012/03/obiee-11116-favourites.html

How to setAction and make a bookmark linked to a page number?

I am writing a vbscript...
set ADoc=CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
ADoc.Open "D:\aaa.pdf"
set BMark = ADoc.GetPDDoc.GetJSObject.BookMarkRoot
BMS= BMark.Children
MsgBox BMS(0).name
Now i want to give BMS(0) a link to the page number 11.
Is "setAction" can do this?
How?

click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.

Favicon code for bookmark link on page displayed

I have successfully added a favicon to the url bar and the browser tab and the page bookmark(firefox) or favorites(IE) feature.
But, how do I add it to the bookmark link code I have put in the page template. I ask this because I have created a bookmark link on the page for the user to use in saving the location of the page without the session number in the bookmark/favorite. This is the code for the bookmark link:
{div align=right}
{a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://apex.gov:XXXX/APP_NAME', 'APP_NAME')"}
{span style="font-size: 11px;color:#333333"}Bookmark Site{/span}{/a}{div}
Where would I put this part in?
{link rel="shortcut icon" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#favicon32.ico" type="image/x-icon"/}
Please note that I used curly braces instead of pointy braces.
Thanks,
Maggie

If you put the link to your favicon somewhere between the head tags of your page it should work (not tested though).

Link to OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page from a 10g Dashboard Page

Hi all,
Is it possible to place a Link object on a dashboard page (within OBIEE 10g) and have that navigate to an OBIEE 11g dashboard page?
If so, how is that implemented?
Our 11g and 10g environments are on different servers.
For business reasons (and budgets) we are not migrating our entire 10g environment to 11g just yet.
Thanks.

You can use Go URL as long as they are on same network domain [Go URL|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#i1005050]

How do you hide the Page Options button on dashboards in 11g?

Hello,
I would like to hide the "Page Options" button on a dashboard in 11g. I found some examples on how to do it in 10g, and they all talk about editing a file called dashboardtemplates.xml. I can't find this file on my 11g BI server, so I'm assuming the file was part of 10g but not 11g. Has anyone figured out how to hide the "Page Options" button on a dashboard in 11g?
thanks,
Scott

Hi Satya,
thanks for your reply, but I have a feeling that your solution is for obiee 10g and not for obiee 11g. We are using 11g, and when running Analytics (Answers), I don't see a "Settings" option, but I seem to recall that in 10g there is a "Settings" button/link. Also, I don't understand how your solution answers my question. You describe how to grant "everyone" read permissions on dashboards, but I want to know how to hide the "Page Options" button on dashboards.
Sincerely,
Scott

OBIEE 11g: Subscribe to Agents through Dashboard page?

Hi all,
I have created a set of agents which would deliver personalized content to subscribing users based on their OBIEE username. The agents work great, however I am stuck at finding a simpler way to allow various users to subscribe to said agents.
The standard subscription method is cumbersome: Go to Catalog, browse to where agents are, Click More, select Subscribe. I don't want my users wandering around through a pretty thick catalog only to subscribe to an agent. Chances are they'll wander off, mess up, fail to subscribe or not even bother to try in the first place. What I would rather do is have them go to a dashboard and click on something to subscribe directly, without caring where the agents are located.
A dodgy workaround I have implemented is to put up a link to an URL which is the catalog location of the agents. Users would click on that link and they will see the list of agents, allowing them to subscribe/unsubscribe. Still, I would like to simplify this further, if possible. Any ideas?

Hi All,
I am trying to display ‘help’ section on every dashboard or Create a separate Help Dashboard Page …

It’s not working – Any Ideas….
Thanks,

All downloads through Firefox are not opening correctly. Bookmarks open up a page with links flush left down the page that do not work. All file downloads do not open correctly with the same issue as bookmarks. Want to avoid losing all my bookmarks so don

Something happened in the last day with FF. IE downloads files correctly. FF Delicious bookmarks open up a page with blue links that look like an outline but they are not my links. My downloads do the same. No virus.

That can be caused by having some bookmarks with a long title in the main Bookmarks menu.
The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name.
You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.

Return link on OBIEE dashboard page

When we have a drill down from a dashboard page to a report, we will have a return link on the report to navigate back to the dashboard page.
But if we are drilling down to another dashboard page, Can we have the OBIEE return link functionality on the target dashboard page to navigate back to the first dashboard page?
I have tried following options:
1.When I tried to incorporate this using OBIEE Guided navigation link, navigation is happening with all the filters which is expected.
2.I tried it with link rather than Guided navigation link, the navigation is happening like the page loading for the first time, hence the user has to re-enter the prompts fields for dashboard page execution.
My Objects are dashboards D1,D2 and Report R1
Drill down on D1 will navigate to D2 and drill down on D2 will navigate to Report R1 and clicking return on R1 will navigate to D2.To navigate from D2 back to D1, I need the OBIEE return functionality.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks Shravan

Hi Srikanth,
Thank you for your response.
I tried to follow the content in the link and I get a Web Page Not Found response.
I substitued the parameters of scid and the Portalpath.
I am not sure what else is going wrong.
What is expected is if D1 dashboard being executed with certain parameters before navigation, then on clicking the Return link, we need to get the dashboard page executed with same parameters which is like Back button.I will not be able to use the script for Back functionality of the browser as I also have a drill dwon from the D2 dashboard page to the Report R1. Hence on clicking on Return will take me to R1 rather than D1.
Below is the execution sequence that is required:
D1-->D2-->D1
D1-->D2-->R1-->D2-->D1
Hence I would like to know how can I get the OBIEE return link displayed on the dashboard page which we get on a drill down request.
Thanks
Shravan

Re: OBIEE 11g Dashboard Page Prompt

Hi all,
We have a Dashboard page in that multiple reports is there and one Region prompt is there with the scope of page level ,
once i gave the filter with that prompt every report is filtered based on that prompt values .
but in that reports for a particular report we were already drill down based on hierarchy and the remaining all reports are in highest level , now we were applies the filter through the prompt the remaining reports are filtered based on prompt value except that report which is in already drill down mode .
Can any body help me out , is it a tool limitation/ i have to do any changes.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
The report will react to a prompt only if there is a is promt column in that report. Check if there a is prompt filtered column in the report and remove it.
If you think that column is to be filtered as Is prompted and should not react to the dashboard prompt, then need to check...
Thanks

Please help me on this.

Cool,
Thank you for sharing the opinions of you.
My English i'snt so good. May not have expressed myself correctly.
In response to my post, I said that "OTHER" point which should also be evaluated is the environment you are using. not that this point is paramount.
Since the OBIEE is generated queries, the evaluation of queries generated and sent the data sources for sure should be evaluated.
thank you guys
