Issue filtering a report (based on narrative view) with a dashboard prompt.

I used HTML and java-script codes in narrative view to solve the issue of "linking different reports on selecting values from a drop-down". A new issue has cropped up due to that implementation. The issue is that i can't attach a dashboard prompt to such a report. This means, when i put this report on a dashboard page with a dashboard prompt to help filter the report, the report does not gets filtered (it does not seems to be connected to the dashboard prompt).
Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, please let me know how to tackle it at the earliest.

Prevent dashboard prompt from filtering a particular report on page?

I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 5 reports. The first object on the dashboard page is a dashboard prompt with a date range for created date.
The request is to filter the first 4 reports based on the dashboard prompt, and then the last report NOT be filtered based on the prompt.
Right now - the date range entered in the dashboard prompt is filtering all 5 reports.
Is there any way to prevent the prompt from filtering a particular report on the dashboard page?
Thanks!

Just wanted to provide an update as to what I learned from the SR I opened.
Dashboard prompts apply to all reports on the page which either:
* Have the "is prompted" filter selected
- OR -
* Are filtered in any other way
In my case, my last report was filtered on the created date to exclude any data prior to July 1, 2010. Because this hardcoded filter was applied, then the report automatically was picking up the date range filter from the dashboard prompt and applying that date range to the report instead.
The workaround was to create a new column on the report formatting the date as YYYYMM and applying a filter to the report as >= 201007. With this, the dashboard prompt is now not applied to filter this report.

Default Selection Issue in Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
I am using the below logical SQL in SQL Results for Default Selection of a column in a dashboard prompt,
SELECT "Facts"."Service Provider", "Config"."Integration Id" FROM "IMONIT - Transaction Log" WHERE "Config"."Integration Id"='@{inttype}'
Here, I have used a presentation variable, which is set by another prompt. Also the Facts and Config table are joined in RPD. The issue is it does not selects the values returned by the logical SQL by default. But if i use the same logical SQL in SQL Results of Choice List Values for the same column in the prompt, the logical SQL does work and populates the prompt only with the values returned by the logical SQL.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Maria

Deepak, actually the scenario is that I am navigating to the page with the dashboard prompt from another answers report located on another dashboard page. This SQL works perfectly when I press the GO button of prompt on the same page. But its not working when I am navigating to the same page with the prompt from any other report. Any ideas ?

Prompts in Pre-built reports

Does anybody know how the pre-built reports are made in regards to prompting?
e.g. the top-10-oppty report:
At top you have a dashboard prompt and underneath the report, which gets filtered by the values of the prompt.
This analysis looks like a dashboard page but shows up under tab Reports.
Any idea?
Thx
Martin

Hi Martin,
This is something that Oracle have done which cannot be replicated when building custom reports. You'll need to create a dashboard page and add your report and prompt to it to replicate this behaviour.
Thanks

Selecting Multiple dimensions without using Dashboard Prompt

Hi All,
We have and requirement where we need to given an option to users where they should be able to select dimensions values to check set of reports in dashboard based on these selected values.
As we know one way is to have dashboard prompt and all the reports which we need to analyze under this, but in dashboard prompt if we more values selected values will take more time.
Instead we want in one page all the dimension values will be there and we need some thing like check box option in front of dimension values and based on the dimension values selection, we need to analyze reports available in another dashboard page.
Thanks in advance.

Som

Thanks John for your reply.
I'm not sure this is going to help me, may be my question is little bit confusing. Let me explain with some example.
Lets us consider a dashboard page where we have All US States as global filter. Suppose by default global filter will have All values but now every time we want to analyze by selected states now to perform this we need to edit global filter and add States by which we want to analyze.
By this option we are able to get the result what we want, but problem is that suppose every time we want to analyze by these states only the every time when we login we need to edit global filter again and again. which we don't want to do again and again.
Now my questions are:-
1. Is there a way to save values selected into global filter for future use by which we cab avoid selecting values again and again (one way is that we can add defaults in global filter edit mode but can we do this outside.)
2. Or can we provide in one page just to select the values of analysis like dimensions and next to dimension like check box just to select values and in other pages based of the values selected.

Somu

Dashboard prompt value not carried over to report in a Link on Dashboard

The Dashboard prompt value is not carried over to the report displayed as a link on the dashboard. The report has the 'Is Prompted' filter. It does not work in both cases:
1. when the report in the shared folder is specified in the link.
2. when the report in a different page on the same dashboard is specified in the link.
Please help.

First change column data format to HTML.
Then use following syntax:
'<aa href = "http://server/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FPortal%2Ffolder&Page=pagename&Action=Navigate&P0=3&P1=eq&P2=Tablename1.column1&P3=1+'|| cast(Tablename1.column1 as varchar(30)) ||'&P4=eq&P5=tablename2.column2&P6=1+'|| cast(Tablename2.column2 as varchar(30)) ||'&P7=eq&P8=tablename3.column3&P9=1+'|| cast(Tablename3.column3 as varchar(30)) ||'" TARGET="_blank"> <ffont color = #000099>'|| cast(Tablename1.column1 as varchar(30)) ||'</ffont></aa>'
change ffont to font and <aa to <a and </aa to </a

Obiee 11g 11.1.1.6 Action links not taking into consideration DashBoard Prompts

I really hope someone can help.
I have a dashboard with an analysis that has a column that is not shown but is prompted via dashboard prompts.
This dashboard is a summary set of data and the column in question is deliberately exclude at the request of the users for clarity within the analysis.
An example would be a pivot report that looks something like this.....
OrgUnit
Year 2010-11
Year 2011-12
Org 1
5
19
Org 2
7
25
Org 3
3
7
With a Prompt on the dashboard for example pay grade set to a default value.
The dashboard prompt works just fine and only the items prompted for are shown.
However - the dashboard report has another report linked via an Action Link - that allows you to drill down on one of the values.
The prompts on the linked report are Org Unit, Year and Pay Grade.
clicking on the Year 2010-11 value for Org 1 I would expect only 5 results however every value for the year 2010-11 at Org 1 is returned and the prompt on pay grade is ignored - obviously as it not passed by the action link!
How can I get around this?
Is this a 'feature' of OBIEE as other similar tools I have used take any top level prompts as explicit parameters for further drill downs - any help would be appreciated.....

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...
https://secure-ausomx###.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/Dashboard?OMTHD=ShowDashboard&OMTGT=ReportIFrame&SelDashboardFrm.Dashboard Type=%2fshared%2fCompany_########_Shared_Folder%2f_portal%2f360+Report&Option=rfd&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Account."Account Name"&P3=%%%Name%%%
thanks

Dashboard Prompt that does not link to any column

Hi,
This might be a basic question but I am missing something here.
How can we create a dashboard Prompt that is not linked to any columns? This prompt has to be a drop down with two values to choose from.
1. Accounting
2. Operational
The value chosen in this prompt will be used for calculations in my reports. The calculation for Accounting and Operational is different.
I do NOT have these two values in any of the columns.
Please suggest on how can I do this.
This is OBIEE 10.1.3
Your help is very appreciated

SELECT 'Accounting' FROM "Subject area"
where Time."Date"=current_date
union all
SELECT 'Operational' FROM "Subject area"
where Time."Date"=current_date
Pls mark as correct/helpful

How to use action links or master-detail event in dashboard prompts?

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE 11g. I have created three reports 1.Daily Data Report, 2.Weekly Data Report 3. Monthly Data Report.
I have created one dashboard prompt in which I have specified choices as Daily, Weekly and Hourly.
My requirement is that when I select the choice as 'Daily' I should get Daily Data report below Dashboard prompt.
When I select the choice as 'Weekly' I should get Weekly Data report below Dashboard prompt
and when I select the choice as 'Monthly' I should get Monthly Data report below Dashboard prompt.
How this can be achieved in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
What you do is just put this 3 different reports in 3 different dashboard sections and in section condition assign a condition based on presentation variable so that when u select weekly in the prompt only the weekly section condition should be true and other 2 section conditions should be false, in that case only the true section condition will display and false conditions will hidden.
Try implement this u will definetly can achieve the result.
Note: Create Variable prompt for this as best practice
Revert for any queries.
Mark if helpful/correct.
Thanks
