Dashboard Prompt clears box

Hi all.
I have an issue using the Multiselect prompt in a dashboard, imagine that you create a prompt over a column with more than 500 distincts values, then in a dashboard you want to select all the values except one.
So in the dashboard you open the multiselect box then press the "<<" button to select all values, after that select the value that you don't want to display and press the ">" button to exclude it, after pressing the "OK" button the box remains empty. I think this is a kind of bug but I want to know if this happens to you in your system.
I'm Using OBIEE 10.1.3.3.3
Thanks.

Yes it happens in OBIEE 10.1.3.3.3
Possible work around could be after selecting all through << click on edit button(bottom left hand side of multi select window), now remove unwanted ones click OK will return to Multiselect window now again click on OK.
--Hope it helped you

  • Issue with Dashboard Prompt passing value to Presentation Variable

    I have 2 tabular reports that grab 2 variables respectively: @Month and @Year.
    The reports work fine.
    My issues is that to compute the most recent month & year, so I can pass the values to the 2 variables mentioned above, I have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the 2 reports. In the dashboard prompts (Edit Box types), I have SQL in the "Default" that computes the most recent month & year. This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.
    My issue is that when I land on the page, it seems that the month & year prompts are not computing. I have an old value of "Dec" "2009" instead of "May" "2010".
    It seems the Default SQL logic is NOT running on its own? As an aside, we do our development in a test environment and the catalog is promoted to production nightly. The "Dec" and "2009" I see is the correct value for the test environment, so it looks as if the defaul values are just being migrated with the catalog, but then the SQL to compute the latest values of the 2 propmts are never executing when the user lands on the page? Thus everyone sees Dec 2009 data instead of May 2010...Help!

This logic also works perfectly when you preview the results of the prompt.You are creating the second prompt (edit box) to make the first prompt values, You can use the same sql in the report default to SQL in the first prompt itself.
    If I am wrong please clarify.

  • Clear default dashboard prompt values

    We have created a few dashboard prompts that are defaulted to server variables. When a user enters the dashboard page, they want to these values to be populated with a start and end date for a specific reporting period. They also want to be able to select a different reporting period (year, quarter, etc.). We have put a "Clear my Selections" button on the page, but that does not clear the prompts that have a defaulted value. The only workaround is to manually deleted the defaulted values, which makes the clear button almost useless and difficult to train the users.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Chris,
    If you haven't tried, use the code to place a button to clear your selections.
    $div align="right" class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn" $
    $a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"$
    Clear all criteria
    $/a$
    $/div$
    Replace $ with < or >

  • Clear Dashboard prompts when user navigates away from the dashboard

    We show our users several dashboards with similar dashboard filters, for example region. When the user applies the dashboard filter on one dashboards, subsequently navigates to a second dashboard, the filter sticks. Is there a way to automatically clear the dashboard prompt?
    Thanks for the support!

    The below code is used for clearing the prompts values by hitting the button.
    See how it helps you
    To get this use Dashboard objects->Text->Check 'Contains HTML Markup' and use this content
    &lt div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"&gt&lt a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"&gtClear&lt/a&gt</div>

  • Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
    In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
    In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
    Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
    It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
    In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
    Any suggestion? Thanks.

  • NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

    Hi All,
    We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
    And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
    Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
    To remove NULL:
    -->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
    -->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
    -->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
    To remove Unspecified:
    -->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
    -->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
    Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
    But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
    Any ideas on this...?
    Appreciate your help on this..!
    Thanks in Advance,
    Raghu Nagadasari

    Hi Frnds,
    As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
    Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
    We have done this manually for all tables.
    Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!
    Thanks,

  • OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt Reset Button Functionality

    Dear Experts,
    Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of 'Reset' Button in any OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt.
    If anyone found any documentation related to it... please let me know.
    thanks,
    Varun

    Hi Varun,
    This is the functionality of Reset button,
    Reset will go back to last applied values. It does not clear values. Currently the Reset button works in the following ways:
    if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) reset 4) it should go back to blank.
    if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) reset. 5) it should NOT to back to blank. actually it does not change anything.
    if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) change any values 5) reset. 6) it should undo any changes in step 4.

  • Dashboard Prompts in OBIEE 11g

    Hi all,
    I had a requirement:
    In my dashboard page , prompts are YEAR , QUARTER , MONTH , PRODUCT NAME , ORDER NAME .
    Now when i select  YEAR = 2010 , then Quarter should display values related to 2010 .
    If i select Quarter = 2010 Q1 then month should display only related values.
    which is like creating dependency between the dashboard prompts.
    Can some one please help me in this issue .

    In your dashboard prompt properties you need to tick the 'Constrain' box for all the columns that you want be constrained by the other choices, e.g Year, Quarter, Month.
    Only tick Product Name / Order Name if you want these to be constrained also but bear in mind it could cause a performance delay if you are having to join tables to get the constrain.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards

  • Dashboard prompts

    hello Guys,
    I have an issue with regard to the dashboard prompt in OBIEE 11g.
    I have a column Year that contains the latest 5 years.
    For latest or current year i.e,2012, what we are doing is doing the MAX (year) and for prior year (i.e.,) 2011, we are using EVALUATE(TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER))..etc.).
    For the report, we need a dashboard prompt that should contain only current and prior year.
    Is there a way we can get this WITHOUT touching the rpd? (ie.,) what can we do at the report level to get the result.
    Please feel free to let me know if I am not clear.
    Thanks in advance for the help!!

    In that case that should be like "Year" IN (YEAR(CURRENT_DATE), YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1)
    use this in Prompt select SQL Results at 'Show'
    The below code should be in where clause
    "Year" IN (YEAR(CURRENT_DATE), YEAR(CURRENT_DATE)-1)
    Hope this helps

  • Dashboard prompts are getting cached and not working as per data level security

    Hi,
    Version: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 BP2
       We have dashboard prompts that have data level security defined in RPD - Content tab of an LTS.
    After clearing cache, the dashboard prompt applies the security properly. When another user who has a different security defined, is seeing the same prompt values on clicking the drop down of a prompt and also when they click search prompt popup.
    Issue is, for second user, I do not even see cached query in the session logs. Tried applying the DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1 in the prompt sql results, no luck.
    But reports are applying the security correctly, issue is with prompts alone.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Just for others reference: We disabled caching on the table to avoid this issue.

  • Functionality of Constrain in Dashboard Prompt

    Hi,
    Created a Dashboard Prompt with 3 columns and enabled the option 'Constrain'. Now, I would like to alter the default functionality of this Constraint. How can I do this?
    Thanks in Advance,
    -Vency

    Hi Casimo,
    When I use check the 'Constrain' option in the Dashboard prompt able to restrict the values but some of the fields in the prompt are not populating.
    I took 5 fields in the prompt and all are checked constrain. When I select a value in the first prompt, it is affecting correctly to the second prompt but results in no values to the other prompts. I have checked the log in Manage sessions and it is because of using second prompt previous value to populate the values in subsequent prompts.
    Year || Quarter || Company || Account || Department
    2007 || Q1, 2007 || C1 || Acc || Dept
    When I change the year to 2008:
    2008 || Q1, 2008 || -- || -- || --
    According to log file, to generate Company, Account and Department prompts it using 'Q1, 2007' instead of 'Q1, 2008'. Here, it requires to press the GO button to populate the values correctly but need to implement without clicking GO.
    This also causes another problem which I have posted previously Error during Navigation...
    If I uncheck 'Constrain' option getting no error but need to get the constrain behaviour either this way or any other so that I can resolve the above issues.
    Looks bit of complex... please let me know if your not clear... and it is a urgent deliverable for me..:(
    Thanks for giving Reply,

  • Hide Reset button in dashboard prompt

    Helllo,
    There is a issue with the reset button in the dashboard prompt where it clears the selections made, only if apply button is not clicked on. As per oracle that is the intended functionality of 'reset' button, however if you want to clear the selections made in the prompt -- go to clear my selections!
    Now this is the senario i am facing, i made a custom link and placed bellow the prompt which would clear the selections made, now i want to hide the 'reset' button or atleast change change the name from reset to something else like 'clear' and change the position of the button.
    Could anybody help me how I can achieve this, may be tweak xml of prompt template, i dont know. I think it is ok until the functionality of this button is changed by oracle in next releases to tweak the source xml for this prompt, so that I dont have to do it individually for every prompt.
    Thanks!

    Refer...http://kalpesh-obiee-eklavya.blogspot.com/2011/06/reset-button-on-prompts-11g.html
    I'd say rather than customizing XML here just give a static text message below/above the prompt stating the difference between Reset and Clear Prompts Button Functionality. Users can make use of both as per requirement.
    Hope this helps

  • No break in dashboard prompt name

    hi ,
    My dashboard prompt name is walker SR Account Name .But OBIEE by default put Walker SR In one line and Account Name in Another line . but we need to show walker SR Account Name in one line.
    Thanks,

    I have a prompt with 4 columns-full date, customer number,customer name and customer (concat of customer number and name) in the same order. I checked Constrain to the last two columns--customer name and customer, so that I get the customer name and customer fields filled up when I selected customer number.
    Here are the details:
    'Column' 'operator' 'control' 'show'(constrain) 'default to' 'set variable' 'label'
    'Full Date' 'is between' 'calendar' 'unchecked constrain' 'specific value' --- 'Period'
    'Customer Number' 'is equal to/is in' 'multi-select' 'all values' 'specific value' -- 'Customer #'
    'Customer Name' 'is equal to/is in' 'multi-select' 'all values/Constrain' 'Report Defaults' -- 'Customer Name'
    'Customer Name))' 'is equal to/is in' 'multi-select' 'all values/Constrain' 'Report Defaults' -- 'Customer'
    Since date/customer number is default to specific value, on the dashboard, I click on Customer Name and/or Customer and it shows 'No Choices Available.'I see the same behavior even if I change the full date and Customer Number.
    I tried the following after looking for this online.
    1) Click OK in the Customer Name multi select box.
    OR
    2) Enter some value in the box and click GO in the CUstomer Name multi select box.
    OR
    3) Select Constrain (which I am already doing).
    None of the mentioned above worked for me.

  • Date field in Dashboard Prompt

    Hi,
    Still try to find how I can format date in dashboard prompt.
    I have created prompt for Invoice cleared date using calendar format in control.
    After pressing go button the format is changed to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS
    I want format should always remain to MM/DD/YYYY.
    Please let me the easy way to correct this issue.
    Thanks,
    Poojak

    Yikes! I think you may have found a bug...
    Seeing your screen shots, I was able to recreate your issue. I tried modifying the database connection feature tab to set a default datetime format, as well as changing the datetime format in the NQSconfig.ini file. Looking at the source code of the OBIEE page, it appears that there is Java script called GFPDoFilters that runs once you click the button (see "onclick" in the source code below). This function seems to be called in ..\OracleBI\web\app\res\b_mozilla\prompts\globalfilterprompt.js.
    If you know java script, you can try and play around in there to find where the date is defaulting to, although I'm no java script expert, and messing with core code can potentially void your OBIEE warranties.
    You may want to log this as a bug with Metalink and see how they respond to it. I agree with you that it does not make sense to have a timestamp added to a calendar day selector, so hopefully they would look into resolving for the next release.
    I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide the response you were looking for, but I think it may be the unfortunate reality.
    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do, and good luck!

  • Problem showing constrained values in dashboard prompt using a specific val

    Hi all,
    I'm using a dashboard prompt showing several fields ie Company, Business Area, Dept. They are set as the following:
    Drop Down List Box
    Show > All Choices, Constrained
    Default > Specific Value
    The requests work fine with these prompts. The problem is if I go to Dept drop down, all I see are '(All Choices)' and the default dept I established defining the prompt. There are other depts for the same Business Area that I want to see, not just the default value.
    What did I do wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi ,
    may be the problem with company also ,you enabled the constrained to company as well i guess..
    Just check with this order Business Area,Dept , Company , .. enable the constraint for company and Dept and test the prompt by selecting the business area , are you able to see the company and dept correctly or not.
    Just a testing method ...helpful for you.
    Thanks,
    Ananth
