Dashboard/Section Format

Hi Guys,
I have a dashboard and have 3 differerent section with in that dashboard..when i look in the dashboard I see a space between the sections Data...I want to minimise the space between the sections data/tables.
Can Some one suggest me how to do this...
Thanks in advance

If I understand your question correctly, you are not happy with the default layout (Styling) of the OBIEE dashboard and you wish to modify the way it presents the sections on the dashboard. The section are defined from the base design of OBIEE, even if you conduct some very basic styling and skinning the default gap will exist between the sections on the dashboard. This is by design.
Since you are just looking for a suggestion...
The way to achieve what you seek is to modify the CSS (Cascading StyleSheet) used for that particular design element of the dashboard.
That is the right answer.
How you get there takes a lot of trivial investigation. This is where it is helpful if you have a resource on your team that knows HTML/CSS/DHTML, etc. If you right-click the dashboard in your web browser and "View Source" you may be able to find the specific class or html that is creating the gap. From there you could GREP on some HTML syntax through the OBIEE web/ folder structure and widdle down where you need to make your mod.
From here you need the skills I mentioned above.
Cheers,
Christian

  • Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?

    Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?
    The requirement is - User should be able to enter comments in a edit box for a section in a dashboard and save it. For other users, this should show up as a non-editable comment while for the user it should be editable box.
    Example: In a report in a section on dashboard for Supplier Trends, a Purchase Manager should enter the commments -" This weeks trends show no issues. Next week watch out for supplier X". For everyone other than him, this should show up as comments.
    1. Is there a way to achieve this functionality?
    2. Can this be achived using write back option?
    3. Or will this require java scripting?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
    sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
    files.
    For Windows Explorer, did you mean
    medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
    If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

  • Achieving precise positioning of conditional dashboard sections

    Working with 11.1.1.7.0.
    I have three dashboard sections that are conditional.  All three sections are in the same column.  Only one section will be visible at any given time.  The sections "turn off" and "turn on" as designed, in response to a dashboard prompt. That part works just fine.
    Here's the problem: There is something about the section object that causes the top of Section #2 to display exactly 2 pixels below where the top of Section #1 was.  When I make the prompt selection that turns off Section #1 and turns on Section #2, Section #1 turns off and Section #2 appears, but it is 2-pixels too low.  Then I make the prompt selection that turns off Section #2 and turns on Section #3, and Section #3 has moved down another 2 pixels.  So if you're thinking about it on a grid, the top of Section #1 appears at vertical position y, Section #2 appears at position y-2px, and Section #3 appears at position y-4px.
    The same thing happens sideways if I place the sections in three side-by-side columns.  Section #1 is at horizontal position x, Section #2 appears at position x+2px, and Section #3 appears at position x+4px.
    I've tried setting the section properties to 0 for all padding values (top, bottom, left, right) but that did not help. 
    So it appears that a conditional section never truly disappears.  It sort of feels like the contents are supressed, and a 1px border all the way around still remains, thus adding 2px in both directions.
    Any thoughts on how to make conditional sections appear precisely where they "should" be?

    The "empty" 2px are the reserved space where the disabled objects actually reside. I doubt you can tweak the rendering engine ;-)

  • Section formatting

    Hello,
    i have a problem with section formatting.
    When i:
    a) put boxes or subreports inside two adjacent sections,
    b) set X and Y of it's size position to 0 and
    c) adjust it to match height and width of a section
    sometimes line between two sections are wider then they suppose to be and sometimes they are right.
    Is there any rule regarding this cases?
    thanks in advance

    hi,
    try going to the File menu, Options, Layout tab. ensure that the Grid Size is the lowest possible...0.083 inches.
    unfortunately cr never remembers this setting so you have to do this each time.
    this should allow you to nudge everything so they line up better.

  • Hidding Views in Dashboard Section

    Hi,
    Can anybody please help me on this
    The requirement is to do a dynamic dashboard where I want to hide some views in section. Iam doing a Top 10 customers by Revenue for US , EU , AP regions. and I gave a dashhboard page prompt as "REGION" for US , EU and AP . Right now I created one dashboard section with three different views for US , EU , AP
    If I dont select any region from the prompt I should be able to see all the three views and If I select US region , the EU and AP views should be hidden . How to achieve this ?
    any help will be greatly appreciable.
    Thanks
    Shruthi

    On the edit dashboard page, there are properties for each section to be set. One of them is guided navigation. With guided navigation, you can hide or show a section, depending on the results of an other request. When this "conditional" request returns rows you can decide to show (or hide) the section.
    First of all, you need to create a separate section for each request. When you select ''US" in the dashboard prompt then only the section with the US report must be shown. The other sections must be hidden, right?
    Now you need to create the conditional requests, which means that when "US" is selected in the dashboard prompt:
    1) the conditional request for the US section must returns rows -> US section will be hidden
    2) the conditional request for the EU section must not return rows -> EU section will be hidden
    3) the conditional request for the AP section must not return rows -> AP section will be hidden
    Then you need to think smart about how to create these conditional requests.
    You can think of a request holding only the region column.
    Then you add two filters:
    For the US condtional request:
    1) Region is equal to US (Protect this filter with filter option)
    AND 2) Region is prompted
    For the EU conditional request:
    1) Region is equal to EU (Protect this filter with filter option)
    AND 2) Region is prompted
    For the AP conditional request:
    1) Region is equal to AP (Protect this fiter with filter option)
    AND 2) Region is prompted
    So what happens when you select EU in the dashboard prompt:
    The US conditional request won't return rows -> US section will be hidden.
    The EU conditional request will return rows -> EU section will be visible.
    The AP condtional request won't return rows -> AP section will be hidden.

  • OBIEE 11G The same height dashboard section in the settings and different when displayed

    Hello!
    Please help me to understand with the sizes of sections. If I create a simple dashboard with one section 100x100 (Additional Formatting Options->Specific Size)  and is displayed correctly. But if I add another section below 50x50 then both sections will not be displayed correctly in height. What is the reason?

  • Can't change section format properties in codebehind

    I have the following code in my aspx page:
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument cryRpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
    cryRpt.Load(path1);
    ReportClientDocumentWrapper docWrap = (ReportClientDocumentWrapper)cryRpt.ReportClientDocument;

          detailsC.Format.EnableNewPageAfter = true;
          detailsC.Format.PageOrientation = CrPaperOrientationEnum.crPaperOrientationLandscape;

    HI,
    thank you for reply. My CR version is 13.0.2000, VS 2010.
    I've found some workaround.
    To get report objects i've written such method:
    protected static List<T> GetReportObjects<T>(CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument report) where T
                                                                                            : class
                List<T> resList = new List<T>();
                IEnumerator re = report.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects.GetEnumerator();
                re.Reset();
                while (re.MoveNext())
                    if (re.Current != null)
                        var obj = re.Current as T;
                        if (obj != null)
                            resList.Add(obj);
                return resList;
    And then I use it like below:
    var subRptObj = GetReportObjects<CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject>(rptDoc).Where(s => s.Name.Equals("1sub")).SingleOrDefault();
    if (subRptObj != null)
       subRptObj.Border.BottomLineStyle = LineStyle.DotLine;
    Maybe, this will help somebody.

  • How Both View Selector and Column Selector in one report dashboard section

    Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?

    hi kris,
    Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?Here view selector is nothing but having multiple views and selecting depends on what end user want to see.You are saying in a single report in once section only.
    If it is a single report you can go with using a column selector.
    Note:-View selector and column selector combination can be used.....but it looks wierd as you need to select view at the same time the corresponding column.
    UPDATED POST
    Yes you can have it by creating different compound layouts with pivots in it.

  • Section format event - Report Designer Component for Crsyatll 11

    Hi,

  • Table of Contents Section Formatting Issues

    Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening in the Table of Contents? It seems that if I have more than 10 sections in a chapter that it pushes the info to the right side of the text box.
    In section 10.10 all my text (for the title) is formatted to the left, and I can't figure out why the TOC is displaying it like this... pretty annoying...
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Andrew

    First off, thanks for the book K T, it's a great edition to my learning how to use iBooks Author, but it was no help.  After playing around and becoming quite frustrated I started digging around in the the TOC I've figured out how to format the TOC a cross the entire book - getting rid of the formatting issue awonacott is experiencing.  I too am (was) experiencing that TOC formatting issue.  Here's what I did to rectify it:
    1: Go into your TOC.
    2. Go into any Section heading list and double click, then change the TOC to TOC Heading 1, 2, or 3. 
    For some reason the default TOC gets all wonky when you try to insert a section into an already created chapter.  I was having this funny formatting happen to all sections of the iBook I'm creating, not just beyond the 10th section.
    I refused to just deal with this crazy formatting, as I believe you should be able to add as many sections as you please without having to trim it down to fit within a 10 sections.
    Anyways I hope this helps.
    Semper Fidelis,

  • Is Section Formatting Conditional on which Section Appears Next possible?

    How can I make the formatting of a section conditional on if the next section that appears is from the same or the next level group?
    I have a footer from group 2. I want to add a page break after the footer IF the next section is not group 3's footer.  Is that possible?
    I tried using Section Expert > Paging tab > selected "New Page After"...but I just dont know what formula to put in the Format Formula Editor.   Any suggestions?

    I would think that you can use the NextValue() function to determine if you are at the end of Group 3, and if so, do the page break.

  • C++ section formats in binaries

    Hello,
    I've been searching all over for information about the format of several of the non-standard ELF sections generated by the C++ compiler, such as .ex_shared, .exception_ranges, etc., but am finding nothing.
    Is the format of these sections proprietary? If so, is it possible to sign a non-disclosure and get access to them?
    Or can someone point me to the public docs?
    Sorry if this was the wrong forum to post this to.
    Thanks,

    Have you tried docs.sun.com?
    When I typed in .ex_shared and .exception_ranges, it did give me something back.

  • Resize a dashboard section at runtime

    Hello,
    We would like to embed a url from a TM1 application into a dasboard at about a 300x100 size. If the data looks interesting the user could then click on it and have the section resize to about 1024x768 to view the data better. And then of course click on it and it resize back small.
    Is this possible in OBI EE? Could you tell me roughly how this could be done? I am a programmer that has had very little experience in OBI EE up to this point and have been asked this question by management.
    Thanks
    Doug

    In Edit Dashboard, drag a "Link or Image" object to a section of the dashboard. Click on "Properties" and enter the URL. Click on "new window." The user can then resize the window to whatever desired size. Once done, a simple click on the "x" of the window and the user is back in the main dashboard.

  • Table Sections Formatting in PDF

    Hi,
    When we export a table with many sections in it, the PDF actually cuts the sections when it cannot print the whole section data in one page.
    For example: I get the Section Headers at the end of the first page and the data in the second page.
    Is there a way to tell OBIEE that when a section cannot fit in one page then to start it in the second.
    Bottom line, I do not want one section to be cut into multiple pages.

    Hi Vj,
    Do you have any screen shot with the desired output to share?

  • Crystal 2011 RAS. Section Expert Paging tab properties does not correspond to EnableNewPageAfter, EnableNewPageBefore properties in section format

    Hello,
    We have application where you can select fields, select groupings and properties (for example disable page grouping ) and create custom report.
    It worked with crystal 9.
    Now we are converting to Crystal 2011 and I have the following problem:
    I create report dynamically and set group footer EnableNewPageAfter property to false in group footer section.
    When report is created , I open it and see that New Page After property in section expert is unchecked.
    When I run the report, I have page break after each group - which is wrong.
    If I open report in Crystal, check New Page After Property , save, exit report, open report again, uncheck New Page After Property, save and exit,And than run the report again,
    My report behaves correctly:does not break after each group.
    If I open report in Crystal, check New Page After Property , save, exit report and then load this report in code and look at EnableNewPageAfter property,
    the property is still false - but it should be true
    Do I use the wrong property?
    What is the right RAS property to set  Crystal report 'New Page After' Property in the code for group footer/group header?
    Below is method that sets properties for section.
    All properties from common tab works, but paging tab properties does not work
    public static void SetSectionSettings( ReportSectionController reportSectionController, Section section, Color backgroundColor, bool enableKeepTogether, bool enableNewPageAfter,
                                                bool enableNewPageBefore, bool enablePrintAtBottomOfPage, bool enableResetPageNumberAfter, bool enableSuppress, bool enableSuppressIfBlank,
                                                bool enableUnderlaySection, bool autoFitSection )
                try
                    SectionFormat sectionFormat = new SectionFormat();
                    sectionFormat.EnableKeepTogether = enableKeepTogether;
                    sectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = enableNewPageAfter;
                    sectionFormat.EnableNewPageBefore = enableNewPageBefore;
                    sectionFormat.EnablePrintAtBottomOfPage = enablePrintAtBottomOfPage;
                    sectionFormat.EnableResetPageNumberAfter = enableResetPageNumberAfter;
                    sectionFormat.EnableSuppress = enableSuppress;
                    sectionFormat.EnableSuppressIfBlank = enableSuppressIfBlank;
                    sectionFormat.EnableUnderlaySection = enableUnderlaySection;
                    sectionFormat.BackgroundColor = uint.Parse( ColorTranslator.ToWin32( backgroundColor ).ToString() );
                    reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
                catch ( Exception ex )
                    log.Error( "ReportApplicationBuilder error - SetSectionSettings: ", ex );
                    throw;
    Thanks,

    Hi Julia,
    There have been a few escalations of this type. For some odd reason you have to call the .Set 2 times...
    reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
    reportSectionController.SetProperty( section, CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, sectionFormat );
    See if that works?
