Downloading Reports from a Dashboard

In normal reports you have the option to download any report to excel for example. In a dashboard you only have the "Printer Friendly" option. I noticed in the pre-built dashboards that each individual report has a "download" feature, but when creating reports for my custom dashboard the "download" or "printer friendly" option isn't shown for each report. Does anyone know how to add this feature to my reports?
Thanks,
Brent

Hello Brent
I think you'll find this option when you design the dashbord and include each reports in it.
In the dashboard design page, on the report box, you have click on Properties > Report Links (in the middle of Display Result, Show View and Modify Request). You'll here be able to specify if you also want the refresh, printer friendly and/or download options.
You'll have to do it for each report you include in your dashboards.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Olivier

Do we have any option to track the number of downloaded reports from the OBIEE dashboard or Analysis by the user using usage tracking.

I'll ask the question of our onsite Microsoft consulting guys, but it's my understanding that as enterprise admins, we have no controls over it. This is an outcome of putting the end-users in charge of their own destiny.
We can revoke a user's entitlement to Office365ProPlus in the portal and via scripts, but AFAIK only the user controls the allocation of their entitlement.
Revoking an assignment/allocation, when logged in as the user, doesn't require access to the assigned/allocated computer, but if the information about the assigned/allocated computers in the portal is vague or ambiguous, it's easy to revoke the "wrong" one.
There's not much here in this forum about the hosted/cloudy aspects, since this forum is mainly about the client-side bits (the client applications, setup and configuration of those) - so in here, I usually refer people off to the O365 community for the
portal and hosted stuff.
(we have MS onsite at the moment for a big planning piece, around O365 and also Win8.1 and VDI. I'm not usually this lucky to have those guys on tap ;)

Firing off a report from a dashboard.

Hello everyone- my first post! I hope you guys can help me...
As far as I know, you cannot export a table into an excel spreadsheet when that table is in a dashboard.
So I created a link in the dashboard soi that when you click on the account name it fires off a report that looks the same as the one in the dashboard.
I thought this would create a report that would allow the table to be exported but instead, the report appeared in the dashboard and there is no option to export to excel.
So does anyone know either...
Is there a way to download tables in dashboards to an excel spreadsheet?
OR...
Is there a way to fire off a report from a dashboard so that it can be exported to a spreadsheet?

You certainly can download data into tabular format from a Dashboard.
In the Dashboard Designer, choose the Properties button located on the embedded report that you want download-able. From the resulting menu, choose "Report Links".
This will give you the option for Refresh, Printer Friendly, and Download. You can choose to display any of these.
When enabled, the Download link works just as in Reports, offering to download the report in Excel, csv, etc.

Opening a instance of a webi report from a dashboard

Hi everyone.
What's the syntax for opening a particular instance of a report in Infoview from a dashboard?. We have this daily report that gets generated everymorning and users want to be able to drilldown from our dashboard by selecting a date from the calendar. So if the user clicks ysterday's date, the instance of the report that was generated yesterday should be opened, not the latest one.
Thanks.

Hi Alden,
Refer to page (66/82) of
[Viewing Reports and Documents using URLs|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf] guide.
One of the opendoc parameters you pass should be "sInstance" and your URL should look something like
http //<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?<parameter1>&<parameter2>&...&sInstance=(either Last/User/Param)
Thanks,

Open a webi report from a Dashboard components

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard using Dashboards 4.0.It has a bar chart,line chart,combination chart.all these chart on X-Axis have month names as dimensions and y - axis shows different measures.
So now the requirement is the user wants to select any month from any one of the chart at one particular point of time.then the dashboard should open a Detailed Webi report( created in BI Launch pad) for the selected month and display that month data in a new window.
I know that we have to use the URL button in Dashboards for linking a webi document.
However i would like to know how to pass the selected month from the dashboard by selecting a particular month from any of the graph component as a parameter to the respective Webi report in BI Launch pad.
Hence any body how to implement this in Dashboards please let me know the step by step process.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Naga Nanda Kishore.

Hi Kishore,
Month name should be prompt for the Detail Webi Report, so when u clicked on bar its going to carry that Month as Well. And Syntax for adding Month will be like below.
Suppose if it is Sample Open Doc:
/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC
So u have to use this Syntax for Month
lsSMonth=+ Map the Cell where month is capturing. (Note:In lsSMonth Month is next of Prompt for month in Detailed Report.
And final URL will be
"/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?mistype=CUID&iDocID=Fq0JoFNoywYADK0AAADHRQkAABVdEABC&lsSMonth=+Selected Month"
(Open Doc) (Sending (Selected Month) Month)
And For trigger the URL button you have keep trigger URL when Month Value changes(Based on Selection), means you have map trigger cell to destination of Bar chart Month Destination.
Thanks and Regards

Downloading report from a Tabular form

Hi,
I enabled the CSV output as ON in a tabular form to download the report. But the downloaded report has an extra new line (break) after the header and there is an extra column
at the beginning of each record ( may be due to the check box line selector). Please advice me how to download the report without extra line after the header and extra column at the beginning of each line.
Thanks,
Raj

Export file looks ok for me for a tabular form with checkboxes for row selection.
If want to exclude the checkbox column(or any othe report column) from the export file, go to the *"Report attributes" -> "Column Attributes" (of that column) -> "Include In Export"* field choose "No"

Open the WebI report from Xcelsius dashboard

Hi All,
I would like to know how to open the WebI report from the xcelsius dashboard.
Looking at the previous posts I followed the following steps to implement the same but that is not working.
Inserted the component URL button and used the folowing link:
http://servername/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sIDType=XXX
But this is givingerre: " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
Also, tried the copying the reprot link, but that is opening the Infoview login page.
I want the report to opened when we click the URL button.
Could someone please provide me a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sindhu

did you try passing the iDocID parameter? When prompted did you try to login to InfoView and check whether Report gets displayed?
Ideally the URL should be as below:
[http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<cuid_of_the_document>]
If you want to bypass the logon screen,you need to modify the OpenDocument.jsp to pass logon token to the above URL i.e.token=+token where the +token is being retrieved by sdk.

How to move the pages and reports from one dashboard to another

hi all
can please any one tel me hw to copy the reports along with pages from one dashboard to another
Thanks

Hi,
Go to Administrator->Manage Presentation Catalg->Click on Group folder under which the dashboard and reports are present
1)Create one folder and copy the reports which are present in the dashboard pages you want(reports will be under some specific folder,open and copy one after the other to the newly created folder).Do this if you want other set of same reports for new dashboard that you are creating
2)Click on _portal and create a new folder(new dashboard)
3)Click on dashboad that is to be copied
4)copy the pages one after the other into new dashboard folder
If you are not keeping new set of reports then no need to point reports in pages,if reports are placed under new folder then go to each page and pull those reports from newly created folder.

Srikanth

Browser performance issue when Calling BI Publisher report from OBIEE dashb

Hi Techies,
We installed OBIEE 10.1.3.3 on SunOS 5.9 unix box.This is PROD env.We are calling BIPublisher report from OBIEE dashboard by clicking the BIP reports link on OBIEE dashboard.After clikcing the link BIPublisher report is opening in another browser window.But is it taking time.
Plz tell me how can we reduce the time taken to open BIPublisher report window when we cilck on the report name in OBIEE dashboard
Thanks,

Suresh
There is no out of the box method to get the EBS report to OBIEE. You could look into moving the EBS report to a mountable web server directory after it completes and then show it in OBIEE via a link or html object. You will need to rename the report of course, every time you run it its going to change names.
In an after report trigger you could call a small java class to move and rename the file for you.
Alternatively, recreate the report in the standalone version. Be aware that you are going to have to set orgs yourself, BIP is not aware of orgs outside of EBS

Scientific Notation when Downloading Reports

When downloading reports from a web template, in either Excel or CSV, some values are getting converted to scientific notation in the downloaded file. I am wondering if there is a setting which prevents any data to be converted to scientific notation when downloading. The data appears to be fine when viewing the report in Web.

Hi Ripel
You have downloaded the file to CSV which is also excel based format and uses most of the Excel's features, and when data is CSV file is in scientic foirmat , same will come in notepad..just do one thing select the format as number in the csv file by selecting column...and save it...in csv/notepad you will now see actual value
Thanks

Open Report From a Command Button - Script Instruction

I want to open a report from a dashboard via a command button.
What would be the script to do that?
Also, how would I get back to the dashboard from the report once it's opened?

Console.Writeln("cmdRpt")
ActiveDocument.Sections["Report"].Activate()
The code above is for a command button with the script to navigate to a particular "report".
To navigate back to Dashboard, simply select the dropdown menu below the menu icons.
Good luck.
