Dashboard Prompt (URGENT)

How to pass values from a report to a dashboard prompt in a linked dashboard.
For eg. I have two dashboard D1 and D2.
in D1 i have a dashboard prompt for year and quarter, I also have a report which gives a list of item brands and their respective sales amount.
in D2 i have a dashboard prompt for Item and a report which gives a ,list of item and their sales amount.
What i want is if i click on sales amount of a particular brand in D1, it willlead me to D2 and the dashboard prompt in D2 should have only items for the selected brand only.

Hi..
this can be done with value interaction of column..
For column properties of Brand in D1, mention value interaction as Navigate then Add Navigation Target and browse it to D2
But this will give you, when you click on Brand values only it takes you to D2 and the report in D2 takes the Brand value. I think but you wanted to click on Amount in D1.
If you want to navigate from brand values then you in D2 report you should mention the Is Prompted filter for Brand column for D2 report.
Is your D2 containing any prompts?

  • Presentation Variable not working in Dashboard Prompt Urgent !!!!

    Hey Folks
    I Created a BI Publisher report and i embedded the report on my Dashboard and and i am using the parameter as a presentation variable in my Dashboard prompt and it was working fine suddenly i dont know what happened when i try give different values from my dashboard prompt its not taking the values
    PTCLID is the Parameter i am using in BI Publisher and i am referencing PTCLID as my Presentation Variable in Dashboard Prompt(Dropdown Field)
    I can run the report with different parameters in BI Publisher but when i try to run from Dashboard prompt its not working
    I know that BI Server and XMLP Server are not communicating properly , I restarted my services couple of times but no luck, Can you help me out how to debug the issue
    Thanks
    Srix

    You mentioned that you are able to run this report from BI publisher using parameters. Do these parameters have a List of Values? What is the 'Parameter Type'?
    You can try the following steps:
    Create a copy of the BI publisher report and set the parameter type to text. Ensure that the parameter identifer (name) is exactly the same as the presentation variable.
    Add this new BI Publisher report object to the dashboard and then test with the dashboard prompt.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks!

  • Urgent- How to Default Current Months First Date in a Dashboard Prompt

    We have requirement that whenever our user clicks on a dashboard it should show the report associated with the dashboard defaulted to MTD.
    For example if the user is running the dashboard on 16th Jan then the report associated with dashboard by default should show data from 1st Jan to 16 Jan.
    And then latter user should be able to select the dates of his choice in dashboard prompt and the report should show data according to selected date.
    Please send some clues or work around for this issue.

    Regarding Question 2:
    What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
    1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
    2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
    When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
    Regarding Question 3:
    If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

  • Dashboard Prompts Not Working in OBIEE 10g

    Hi People,
    I  developed a report with two dimension column and a fact column.
    NBTY Level 1
    NBTY Level 2
    Spend Amount
    NBTY Level 1 and 2 are from dimension and Spend Amount is a fact column. Both are joined in star schema. The results are correct.
    So now i published the same report in a new dashboard, and created a new dashboard prompt on Dimension column "NBTY Level 1". I applied filter on the same column (Is Prompted) in report.But when i gave a value in Dashboard Prompt, the report is not changing. I cannot even find any trace of error displayed. When the prompt is selected and clicked on 'GO' button there is no moment in browser, it stays still. I have also permissions and everything is fine
    Can some one please help in finding the problem, its an urgent issue, what possibly could go wrong?

    Thank You for your reply.
    Yes the prompt column is from same subject area.
    I Created a Column Prompt in the report using the same column and it worked for that report. But when i used that prompt in dashboard its not applying.
    I will share a logical query for Report but How should i fing logical query for a prompt?
    The total behavior looks very strange.

  • 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..:(

  • 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,

    else 1
    end
    FROM "Sample Sales"

    select case when 1=0 then "D2 Market"."M04 Region"
    else 2
    end
    FROM "Sample Sales"

    But i have one more doubt i.e if have created the Presentation variable in the dashboard prompt and I want to use it in a report
    i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
    I am getting the following error :

  • Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt

    Hi
    Can anybody tell me
    Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt.
    If yes...How
    Thanks in Adv

    Yes ! You Can!
    while creating the dashboard prompt, under "Show" pick SQL results and you write the SQL statement and include the EVALUATE function.
    I have several such examples. Most of of dashboard pages are parameter driven.
    1. 1st paratmeter - users specify the dates
    2. 2nd parameter - constrains the results for the period specified in 1st paramter and my SQL for 2nd paramter looks like this -
    SELECT table1.column1
    FROM table, datedim1, table1,table2
    WHERE datedim1.date BETWEEN EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)','@{presentation variable1}','dd/mm/yyyy') AND EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)', '@{presentation variable 2}','dd/mm/yyyy')

  • 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.

  • Row limit in Dashboard Prompts - OBIEE 11g?

    Hi,
    In dashboard prompts values are shown as sets of 256 and I know it can be customizable but my question is..."Is there any limit on records to extract as we have it in Analysis"? If yes, what is the max limit and where to configure this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nagireddy, thanks for your reply.
    Is there any limit of values to extract in Dashboard prompt? i.e. when you use drop down list as Dashboard prompt, is there any limit of values to extract from database?
    In my local environment (instanceconfig.xml), there is limit of Rows to View and Download set to 20K, however I did not see anything related to the Dashboard Prompt.  

  • How  to get the value of multi-select in the   Dashboard Prompt

    I have a multi-select prompt in the Dashboard Prompt,  what I want is,   how do I know that user has choose one value,
    for examle,  for some reasons,  if user didn't choose any value,  then I will set one column in answer as "customer office" , if user choose one value, then the column in answer will be "customer name". 
    any comments, thanks.

    Hi,
    first define the presentation variable for the required column prompt. ex: PV
    Then in report level set the filter for that column = @{PV}{customer office}. here u have to give default value as "customer office", so by default the report in dashboard will show customer office even though the user does not select any value from dashboard prompt.
    Mark If Helpful/correct.
    Thanks.

  • Need to store variables from multi-select in Dashboard Prompt.

    I am using a Dashboard Prompt with a Drop-down List Control. The user selected value from this Drop-down List Control is stored in a Presentation Variable.
    I would like to use a Multi-Select Prompt and store all multi-select values in a variable string. I have read that is not possible to use Presentation Variables with a Multi-Select Prompt.
    Does anyone have a workaround for this?
    Thanks,

  • Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
    I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
    For Eg:
    I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
    - *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
    - Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
    - *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
    The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
    Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
    Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
    Regards
    Shyam

    Hi Bala,
    Thank you for your response.
    I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
    I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
    Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
    It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
    Can you please help me in this regard.

  • 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.
