Connect shape button is disabled in strategy map (performancepoint, dashboard designer)

Hi,
I am creating a dashboard using Dashboard designer, that consists of a scorecard with KPI's and a Strategy map report. I am trying to connect strategy map shapes to the KPI's, but the connect button in the Connect Shape dialog is inactive.
It was active before, I mean I have built some sample strategy map and connected its shapes to the KPI's (you can see green circles bellow). Now when I open that report and try to connect the shapes I can't do it. I don't understand what has happened and
I am so frustrated by that problem since no error message is displayed and I have no clue where to look for a problem.
I have tried to create this report from scratch, i.e. I have repeated all the steps (even from sharepoint site for business intelligence creation) from begining. No luck.
Please, help :)

Maybe its to late, but I think that the problem is that you need to select just one shape before trying to connect.
Good luck

  • PPS Strategy Map Dashboard Designer Error

    Hi,
    I am attempting to create a Strategy Map using Dashboard Designer. I have Visio 2013 installed. When I try to create a new Strategy Map (Create>Strategy Map) I receive the following error:
    "To create a strategy map, you must first install at least Microsoft Visio 2007. If this is a 64-bit computer, ensure that the 64-bit version of Vision is installed."
    My OS is 64-bit; however, my office versions are 32-bit.
    Do I need 64-bit Visio to create a Strategy Map? Can I force dashboard Designer to use the 32-bit Visio?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi Randy,
    Please notice the important part below in the article:
    Before you create a strategy map report, make sure that the correct version of Visio is installed on your computer. The version that you use must be compatible with PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer.
    If you are using the 64-bit edition of Dashboard Designer, then you must install the 64-bit edition of either Visio 2010 or Visio 2013.
    If you are using the 32-bit edition of Dashboard Designer, then you must install the 32-bit edition of either Office Visio 2007 or Visio 2010.

    Hi,
    Please check whether activate the PerformancePoint Services Site Features.
    Or try to increase the max limit for excel services to required level. By default its 10MB and the powerpivot files are much larger. 
    SharePoint Central Administration, and go to Application Management > Manage Service Applications > ExcelServiceApp > Trusted File Locations and click on the appropriate Address. Under the Workbook Properties section you will see a Maximum Workbook
    Size.

  • Why is my Informatica Repository Connect button is disabled?

    I am installing OBI Apps on Windows and am on section 4.15 when my problem started. I have created the Repository in Informatica however the Connect button is disabled.
    I checked the Informatica Service on the Services Control Panel and I find it started.
    DAC Server is also running.
    Can anyone help me on this?
    Thanks!
    -Rowena

    i found the solution to my own problem. had to configure the domain in informatica (see online help) and then instead of using oracle_bi_dw_base as repository name, use whatever it is that shows up on the repositories list on the domain config screen.

  • Connect to Outlook button is disabled in ribbon

    I have a publishing site.
    In this site I enabled feature "Team Collaboration Lists" which gave me the option to add "Calendar" web part in my publishing site page.
    I added calendar web part but the button "Connect to Outlook" is disabled in ribbon. In fact all buttons under "Calendar" tab are disabled such as "Export to Excel", "Open with Access", "Edit List", "List
    Settings etc.
    I read somewhere that I need to enable feature "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" which I did but still "Connect to Outlook" is disabled.
    I am logged in as Site Collection Administrator.
    I have tried this in both IE and Chrome.
    I am using SharePoint 2013 and Exchange 2010.
    I know SharePoint 2013 can't sync with Exchange 2010 but at least the button should be enabled.
    On this machine Outlook or any MS Office component is not installed. Could it be because of this?
    Or may be I didn't add the correct calendar web part and there is some other calendar web part which can be synced with Outlook?

    Yes, you need 32bit Office 2010 or 2013 installed on the client to enable those buttons.

  • Why is the add database connection plus button grayed and disabled?

    Hi,
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 with PHP on Windows 7. I can't click on the add new connection "plus" button; it's grayed out and disabled. Also, even though the first three self-checks (create a site for this file, choose a document type, and set up the site's testing server) are OK, the fourth self-check isn't there. I looked on-line and found forums saying that if you're using ASP both of those problems could occur, but I'm using PHP, not ASP. Does anyone have any clue as to how to fix this?

    Have you set the server model?

  • Command button remains disabled after a request redirect to a PDF Servlet

    Hi All,
    I've a command button to generate PDF on the fly and used to work in JDev 10.1.3.3.
    When we migrated to 11g, it works for the first time on a page, and the file Open/Save dialog will come up.
    But then the command button remains grayed out, and clicking doesn't generate a server call.
    If I do something on the page which does a partial or full submit, then the button will get enabled again.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jaimon
    Sample code:
    Facelets:
    <af:commandButton text="Create PDF" action="#{fs02.createPDF}" />
    Java:
    public String createPDF() {
    //Validation checks here. If there are any errors, it gets added to FacesMessages to display on the same page.
    if(!validate()) {
    //sf.addInfoMessage('message here..');
    }else {
    FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)ctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/pdfdownloader");
    rd.forward(request, response);
    ctx.responseComplete();
    return null;
    pdfdownloader is mapped as a servlet, which writes the actual PDF content as a stream.

    Herewith the code which is triggered with the post-forms-commit trg. As far as I can see it, there is no code to disable/enable the save button in the menubar.

  • PZ02 ESS Service Change button is disabled.

    Hi,
    In the standard service PZ02, if we select the emergency address as address type, "Change" button is disabled.
    Why is this button disabled for emergency address only where as it is enabled for permenent residence and work address.
    If we want to make this enabled for emergency address, what should we do. Is this control through any configurations?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Soumya.

  • Captivate 7 - Shrinking Smart Shape Buttons

    Adobe Community,
    Currently we are starting to creating training modules in Captivate 7, we use a "wrapper" for the output which simply means this. The wrapper is simply designed to listen for specific Adobe standard 'actions' or 'calls', which I'm told is derived from the Adobe Connect compiler library. The Adobe actions/calls have changed since Captivate 6/7 but the Adobe Connect library binaries were not and this has caused a disconnect with the new Captivate actions.
    Our chief problem that has arisen because of this are Smart Shape buttons, we are excited to use them for training modules but once clicked they continue to shrink the button until the user is unable to see them and in large modules the next button disappears before they are completed.
    My questions are this:
    What causes the buttons to shrink in CP7? I see other people referencing this issue but not alot of information outside of "this is a problem in Captivate 7" but no attempt at a solution.
    Has anyone come up with a solution to this? Can it be addressed/repaired in the Captivate output possibly in the javascript?
    I can provide screenshots of how this is happening on both the Master Slides and Normal Slides with Smart Shape Buttons if need be.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Stephen

    Hi Stephen,
    I don't think there is any simple solution to this and the problem needs to be addressed by Adobe. The solution that I've applied (In CP8) seems to be working for when users accidentally click the edge of a smart shape button. What happens at this point is the button shrinks and the user's cursor is no longer under the active area of the smart shape and the action attached to the smart shape does not fire. In some situations I have noticed that the smart shape button has continued to shrink with each click that does not fire the action.
    I have found that this issue is partly resolved in CP8 with the introduction of different button states. If I use smart shapes as buttons in CP8 I make sure that I apply Rollover and Down states for my buttons. Where possible provide a slightly larger stroke width to the down state which increases the size of the button so that when the default shrinkage happens on the down state the additional stroke width compensates for this. This appears to have solved the problem for me with the actions not firing and to some degree the shrinkage issue. If you are still on CP7 then I sorry this does not provide you any real help but I hope that it gives you some other ideas to work on.

  • Filters for Strategy Maps

    I created a strategy map recently and would like for it to change dynamically with respect to a filter.  For example, with respect to a sales member and their goals, which were placed in the strategy map.
    I tried to connect the filter directly to the map, but that did not work. 
    Any ideas?

  • Can't add a certificate exception in Firefox 4.0, relevant buttons are disabled

    I try to access a web site from a local network via HTTPS. The web server uses self-signed certificates, and Firefox presents a common "This connection is untrusted" window.
    In version 3.x I simply clicked "Add Exception", and then "Confirm Security Exception". In Firefox 4.0, when I click "Add Exception", I see:
    # "This site provides valid, verified verification. There's no need to add an exception".
    # The "Permanently store this exception" checkbox and the "Confirm Security Exception" button are disabled.
    I cannot access this protected site anymore. Any suggestions?

    There seems to be a work around to add exception.
    You have to manually go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> View Certificates -> Servers -> Add Exception
    Then the "Add Certificate Exception" window comes up. Just enter the URL at location https:// and click "Get certificate". Then "Add Security Exception".
    This will allow you to access the site thereafter.
    I'm not sure though why "Add Exception" button under the "I understand the rsiks" page does not work. May be a bug.

  • HT4314 Game Center will not connect and will not disable in Hayday, even if I am connected in  the game center app

    I cannot get connecting to Game Center except periodically.  When playing Hayday not only will it not connect it will no disable either so it pops up so often you just can't even play the game.  It happen on another game that is connected to game center also.  I will not get involved with any other game that requires game center at this point if it cannot be fixed.  I already changed my password with is a major pain and now I have this long password and before I had a short one.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • How do I add a hover state to a smart shape button on the master slide? CP7

    I want to use a button with a hover state on my master slide in CP7. I created a smart shape and checked the box 'use as button.' I then created 3 image files with the "x_up, x_down, x_over' extensions. When I select my smart shape and choose a custom pattern from the fill menu and select my 'x_up' image file, the smart shape does not recognize the hover state. Is there another way to achieve this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks I think I get it now after reading your post. Shape buttons can only shrink when they are pressed and nothing else. I was thinking a work round for me would be to use a regular button with the up, over, down state, put this regular button on the first slide and set the timing for 'display for rest of project.' However I don't see this option in the timing panel:
    Is this option somewhere else?
    Thx!
