Default dashboard page for each user group

How can I set for each user group (or for each user) which dashboard will be opened as the deefault after login?
Can I also set the default page in that dashboard?

Hi,
Under Settings->My account->Preferences->User can select his default dashboard.Is it ok?
If you dont want them to select that option,you need to redirect them...You can use that blog....
Create a table in db with two columns-User, Portalpath
In initialization blog give query to fetch Portalpath from db based on user login... Follow steps from blog...
Check this blog....http://bintelligencegroup.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/external-table-authentication/
Clear explanation for external table authentication....in the same way you cna do but take two columns user,portalpath and follow the steps in blog.

Default dashboard page per user - Defaulting to 2nd page of the dashboard.

I have implemented the default dashboard for each user.. it works perfect.. when the user logs in, it defaults to the first page of the dashboard. If i have to default it to second page or third page of the dashboard , what do i do?
Please suggest...

Hi,
You can use PORTALPATH variable to default for a specific user or role.
Hope this helps.

Setting Default Dashboard based on Groups/users in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am having a requirement and facing some issues with setting a default dashboard option to the users who ever access the application. Below is the brief description of entire requirement.
The main requirement is to integrate OBIEE into a .net and silver light application. We will be having a 3 links in the .net application , which in turn displays the OBIEE reports and dashboards upon clicking the 3 links.
We are using the concept of Init blocks, session variables and Go URL from an OBIEE standpoint for accomplishing this integration requirement. We have also configured LDAP server in OBIEE.
The issue we are facing is out of the 3 links in .net application, we have one link/icon called dashboard icon which should display bunch of OBIEE dashboard pages in the form of 4 tabs but currently it is showing the My Dashboard home page. For this to achieve to set default dashboard page is to go to My account and change the default dashboard to the desired dashboard and log out and log in back to the application and we will be all set with dashboard pages being displayed upon lcking the dashboard icon but this is manual process for each user as they need to login into the .net application and change the setting s in My Account manually to change the default dashboard setting to the desired one.
How should I make sure, whoever is logging into the Application (every user) should be able to see the default dashboard pages without changing the options manually by going to My Account.
The LDAP server is taking care of the Authentication part of the users as every user record is maintained in Active directory which in turn is part of LDAP server.
To brief high level requirement on single statement is  how to make a default dashboard pages to users based on group in OBIEE. Is there any option in OBIEE, where we can change or set a default dashboard to particular group in OBIEE either in RPD or UI level.
Appreciate your help on this.
Let me know if anyone needs any more information in this regard.
Thank
Praveen

Reg:Default Dashboard

Hi all,
My Client is looking for this requirement:- Need Default Dashboard Page for all the Reports and Responsibilites.
I have built a Default Dashboard (with name Modules Overiew). We are having 6 modules in total(Financials, Manufacturing,Projects etc.). In each Module we are having some 5 to 10 reports..
So for this I used Link or Image and text options to build dashboard. In the link or image section(I gave the request or dashboard as /shared/_portal/Manufacturing dashboard layout and in the same way for all other modules) in the Caption part gave text as Open. In the Text Section, I gave the description about the each module.
Now at present we are able to see all the modules with their corresponding path in one Dashboard.
But now my client has come with new requirement.. that all the reports following under each module should be displayed in their corresponding .( for example in manufacturing-10 reports, Finance-8 reports, projects-6 reports) paths.
For this I started giving path in the section Link or image :- shared/_portal/Manufacturing/Report name.. like this for all 10 reports.. Bu it is taking more time.
May I know is this the correct way.. Is their any simplest way to do this..

May I know is this the correct way.. Is their any simplest way to do this..First of all, you should go back and proof-read your question i.e., finish your sentences and words (e.g., "...should be displayed in their corresponding... what??) and "...like this for all 10 reports... Bu..." You are typing too fast.
Second, what do you mean by "...But it is taking more time"? Too much time running the dashboard or too much time for you to input the changes?
I am not sure what it is you are asking because you are not clear, but I am guessing you are looking for this:
1) Home Page - Consists or 6 links, one for each module.
2) Six secondary dashboard pages, one for each module, all hidden. Each of these dashboard pages in turn is a "table of contents" for the reports in the module, e.g., the Manufacturing dashboard page would contain 10 links, one for each report, the Finance dashboard page would contain 8 links, one for each report, etc.
The links on these dashboard pages would either point to the actual report itself, or another hidden dashboard page which would contain one of the reports in it. The former way is quicker and faster, but it reduces flexibility (e.g., you can't turn on "Report Links" to give users options) and it doesn't look pretty. The latter method takes longer to design, but it offers maximum flexibility in formatting and implementing end-user customization, and it looks nice. Also, you would only need to design the dashboard pages once so it is only at the beginning of this project that you would need to put much effort. After that, it is only modifying the reports, which you would need to do regardless of where they were located. My recommendation is to do the latter.
So, if this is what you intend, then that is the way to do it and if it is "taking more time," well, think of customer satisfaction when you've done. They will appreciate what you deliver.

Hi Experts,
Im working on OBIEE 10.1.3.3 wherein my dashboard contains 4 pages. After log in and once selected the dashboard, dashboard will open first page as default page but i want second page to be my default and there is should be no reordering the dashboard pages. Is there any solution for this?

Collapse A Dashboard Page Section by Default

I have a few Page Prompts on my Dashboard Page where I saved the selections for "Everyone". I am looking for a way to collapse just the one section with the page prompts by default for "Everyone", so my users will not be tempted to change the prompt selections.
Does anyone have a working solution for this? Thank you!

Maybe this can help as a start:

Default Dashboard and Reports Home Page

Hello All,
1. I was wondering whether it is possible to change the default dashboard. Users currently have to select the appropriate dashboard and press the "Show" button to display a custom dashboard, I would like this to be the default if possible. Is this something that is possible, if not can customer care change these settings?
2. Can you change the layout of the "Reports" screen. I would like to remove a few sections and reports that are not relevant. Is this something that is possible, if not can customer care change these settings?
Thanks All...

Hi Guys,
Amazing suggestions on manipulating dashboard. We want to use same concept, to use a custom web for our custom dashboard, but i I have following queries, please answer them for me.
The data in dashboard gets filtered based on visiblity, so upon using the custom tab, how will the data visibility get affected. I feel that whatever data was supposed to be appeared on dashboard, same would be on the custom web tab. Data would be filtered based on Books. It would be nice to get confirmation from you guys. Also, please share if anyone had problems, or any other alternative suggestions.
Our reports on the dashboard has hyperlink to "Contact" and "Account" entities, but when we place the dashboard in custom tab, navigation is possible but, the return hyperlink, doesnot navigate back to custom tab, it always redirects back to Homepage. Any suggestions to fix, please do post them.
Thanks in Advance,
Ashwini

Reg: Dashboard page Name not getting displayed.

Hi
I have created a dashboard Dashboard1 and it has 5 different pages
pg1 thru pg5. I have 5 users USER1,USER2.USER3,USER4 and USER5.
I have assigned each page to a user and all the users have access to Dashboard1
i.e
USER1 pg1 of Dashboard1
USER2 pg2 of Dashboard1
USER3 pg3 of Dashboard1
USER4 pg4 of Dashboard1
USER5 pg5 of Dashboard1
The problem is name of the pages is not displayed once the dashboard is accessed after log on..The report attached to that page is displaying data, but page name on the tab is blank...
Could anybody help me with this information pls..
Thanks in Advance...

Hi,
When a single page is placed on the Dashboard it will not show the page name as it won't show any tab on the Dashboard. This is happening by default.
This case applies to your scenario as you restricting those pages among the users.
To just check, give the permissions to the user1 to view 2 dashboard pages instead of 1. Then you can able to see the page names on the tabs as 2 pages are on the Dashboard for that user.
I am also not aware of displaying the Page name when there is a single page on the dashboard...:(

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

How to send a dashboard page as selection with ibot

Hi,
I am trying to send a dashboard page via email, but with a previous selection I have done through prompts.
This is what I have done:
1.Created the selection and saved as "Generic"
2.Selection is saved in my user OBIUSER under /users/obiuser/_selections/hj0qcjg2ln00aro9
3.I copied "Generic" from the above folder to a folder XY under the SHARED folder where I have some other dashboard stored.
4.When I am in Delviery content , choose "select content" and browse in the XY folder, but I see only the dashboard pages and not the selection "Generic"
The reason, I have copied it, is that from the delivery content session, I can not see my user, but just the SHARED folder.
Do I maybe need to create a _selections folder under the SHARED one and save it there?
Thanks and Regards
Giuliano

The article describes that when you have a saved selection for a dashboard page and you set this saved selection as default, the iBot will use this saved selection to filter the data on the dashboard page.
So, unfortunately, there is no option to select the saved selection you want to use for a dashboard.

Default Dashboard not working after user login

Hi All,
We have one issue in 11.1.1.7.1 where PORTALPATH is not working for users. As a result, user lands on home page/recent page instead of the default dashboard after login.
I followed Doc ID 1576576.1 and Bug 17071629 - PORTALPATH SESSION VARIABLE IS INEFFECTIVE is reported. I applied patch 17071629 on top of 7.1. I have tried and verified that
·     The URL we are using to login is “http://machinename:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1”
·         There is no Start Page set in user’s My Account other than Default.
·         In Answers, the PORTALPATH session variable fetches correct dashboard path.
·         I removed space in the dashboard name and tried with following path “/shared/Dashboard/_portal/PortalPathTest”. Also, assigned same default value to the session variable. I also tried “/Shared Folders/Dashboard/Dashboards/PortalPathTest” and “%2fshared%2fDashboard%2f_portal%2fPortalPathTest” but nothing works.
·         lsinventory shows the patch got applied successfully.
One thing to notice -
1.       Login url is: "http://machinename:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1"
2.       After login, browser URL gets changed to "http://http://scoreboard-sit.wellsfargo.com:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehomemachinename:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome" and shows Home Page instead of default dashboard.
3.       Now at this stage, if I append "&startPage=1" to the above step 2 URL in browser, it automatically navigates to correct default dashboard.
Also, This patch has fixed default dashboard in Act As. That means, If I act as a User, I land on correct default dashboard. But if same user actually logs in, s/he lands on home page.
I suspect if URL redirection after login is the actual issue. Please suggest if anyone has an idea.
Thanks,
Akshat

I think this was the issue -
There was a java script error related to an undefined object, "accessMode" in logon.js. This is related to Accessibility or Section 508 (checked by Developer Tools of IE). We may have removed this code from the logon page which was causing the error. We had customized the page quite a bit previously. When I ignore the error and step through, I go to the correct portal path page. So we are going to replace the logon.js file with backup and hopefully it will fix the issue.
Cheers!

Conditionally Hide Dashboard Pages using Javascript.

Hi, I would like to share a small logic i developed to Conditionally show or hide Dashboard Pages based on a Repository Variable.
In the last few weeks we noticed that the ETL jobs scheduled everyday were failing due to various obvious reasons. As a result, Our Dashboard are greeting the users with "No Data to Display Messages". Most of our Sales Dashboards are defaulted to show business health as of yesterday (Sysdate -1). If ETL scheduled everyday at 3 am failes, then the Dashboards show no data. Emails from Users, etc. etc........
For a few days we were manually trying to post some messages on Dashboard something like "Please come again, Our Data for yesterday is not yet loaded........".
I thought it would be nice to hide the Dashhboard Pages automatically, rather than manually posting a message whenever data outage or etl job failure occures.
To do this, I
1. Identified the table that the ETL folks update at the end of every job. This table has a column to say the status of the load (Successful, UnSuccessful) and also a date column to show the most updated load date and timings.
2. Created an Initialization block that would go fetch the most recent loaded date and status of the load values. I set this block to fire every 5 minutes.
3. Created a report with a Date Column and a bogus columns with FX set as the Repository Variable for Load Status. Added filter on the Date as = the repository variable for Load Date.
4. In the Narrative View of this Report, I added the following JavaScript.
In Prefix section:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var curTable = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
In Narrative Section:
var cFlag = "@2";
In Postfix Section:
if (cFlag == "UnSuccessful"){
for (var i = 0; i < curTable.length; i++) {
if (curTable.className == "PageTable") {
curTable[i].style.display = 'none';
/*var curBody = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var newTable = document.createElement("table");
var newTBody = document.createElement("tbody");
var newRow = document.createElement("tr");
var newCol = document.createElement("td");
var curMessage = document.createTextNode("Data for this dashboard is currently unavailable due to the daily load process." + '\n' + "Sorry for the inconvenience.");
newCol.appendChild(curMessage);
newRow.appendChild(newCol);
newTBody.appendChild(newRow);
newTable.appendChild(newTBody);
curBody.appendChild(newTable); */
alert("Data for this dashboard is currently unavailable due to the daily load process. Please check back shortly." + '\n' + "Sorry for the inconvenience.");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Note: I originally wanted to post the message on the Dashboard, but there are some issues with IE 7, with appendChild method. But it works fine with FireFox. So I did not wasted any time on Javascript Errors, rather just had an alert message, that basically does the job i need. I mean tell the users about the ETL Status.
5. Finally I added this report in the Dashboard. Key point here is the above report should be added in the Lower Column. I mean if there are six Dashboard COlumns aligned as 2 Columns X 3 Rows, I added the Narrative Report on the 5th or 6th Columns.
When the load status is unsuccesful, the narrative report will hide the Dashboard Sections and shows a message to the users.
Thanks
Sai

Hi Turribeach, the reason i set it as "Answered" because, I have found the answer by myself and wanted to share with others.
Also,
Guided Navigaion is very expensive in terms of performance and I am talking about at least 8 to 10 answer requests per page here.
