Dyanmic Prompt Selection in dashboard

Hi experts,
We are using 10G.
We have one prompt country contains data USA,UK,IND etc.
When I select USA, my dashboard should contain USA prompt(4 Prompts)
When I select UK, my dashboard should contain UK prompt(8 Prompts)
So how to impliment this in OBIEE.
Thanks,

Here is a solution even simpler to implement than Bharath's:
1) Put the US prompts and reports on one dashboard page and hide it.
2) Put the UK prompts and reports on another dashboard page and hide it.
3) Create a "main" dashboard page with two guided navigation links names "US" and "UK." Have each link point to the respective hidden dashboard page.
4) Repeats above steps for each region...
This method doesn't require the creation of another prompt or the introduction of a dummy column in the reports. The main dashboard page serves like a "table of contents" page that the user can click on and be taken to whatever dashboard page is appropriate. It is very simple to implement, extremely versatile and expandable as your needs grow.

Some user cannot save Dashboard Prompt Selections OBIEE

We are having issue with some users cannot able save dashboard prompt selections of themselves, even though the group they belong to has rights to it.
This issue happens only for some users, it works fine for other users. They all belong to the same group.
Access privilege on the Saved Selections is set for "Everyone".
Any help will be great appreciated

Verify if the 'My folders' for each user has been enabled or not. Usually , if 'My Folders' is disabled for that user there would'nt be any "_selections" folder created in the individual user catalog folder. Once the "My Folders" is enabled for that user via Manage Previlages , the users should be able to save the dashboard prompt selection 'for themselves and also for other too'.All the selections by the user would be saved to this folder.

Request based on Prompt selections.

Hi All,
Please let me know if this requirement is feasible through OBIEE.
I have a dashboard Prompt which has three columns. These three columns are constrained as per the hierarchy.
Country
State
District.
I have three requests which show Region, Sales based on the Region
Request 1 : Shows District level sales
Request 2 : Shows State level sales
Request 3 : Shows Country level sales.
Now the requirement is:
a) When I select District only( State and Country as All Choices) or State and District or Country and State and District
then the lowest level only should be shown i.e. Request 1 should show up ( only for District).
b) When only State is selected ( Country and district as All Choices) or Country and State is selected then show only the State level request (Request 2).
c) When only Country is selected ( State and District as All Choices) then show only the Country level request ( Request 3).
That means based on the Prompt selection, only One Request should be shown in the dashboard any time.
Please let me know if this is achievable.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bhavik,
Put each request in a seperate section and control which section is shown via Guided Navigation.
Good Luck,

That article will not talk about link..
it just displays the requests it self that you added in the dashboard sections, but depends on the prompt value you select the guided navigation properties are changes and will hide that particular section and will only show the section where the condition you specify is met...
Hope you are clear..
if not.. give clear idea what you want exactly?

Prompting issues on dashboard pages

I have a 3 page dashboard that conform to a form of hierarchy
-- Page one summarises the highest level of date by month (based on a dashboard prompt)
-- Page two shows the middle level of data based on a prompt from Page one
-- Page three shows the lowest level of data based on a prompt from Page two
For example:
Page 1 shows Car sales by Maker (Ford, Chrysler VW etc), clicking on one of these will take you to Page 2 which shows the sales per Model (Focus, Fusion, Taurus etc) and clicking on one of these will take you to Page 3 which shows the sales by Package (S, SE, SES, SEL etc).
This all seems to work fine, the date selected on Page 1 is passed to the other pages. The problem arises when I go back to Page 1 after drilling-down to either Page 2 or 3. Returning to Page 1 after this means that the chart & table there only shows data for the Maker for the Model and Package selected on Pages 2 & 3.
The only prompted field on Page 1 is the "month" field that takes its prompt from the dashboard prompt, I can't see why this is picking up selections from the drill-down & not just returning the full data set. Can anyone help?

Hmmm, further Googling suggests it may be an issue with Dashboard Page State Persistence in config.xml. Has anyone else come across this?

Hi John
They're column based & each page has a seperate report. I hadn't protected the filters on the top level report - I have now & that seems to have sorted it.
Thank you, that was really bugging me. We're still in UAT & all these little niggles that aren't in the manuials are cropping up.

Need to Display columns depending on the prompt selection

I need to show the only the columns as per the prompt selection given by the user.
Suppose there are 5 prompts say (first name, last name, phone number, address, DOJ). All the prompts should be optional. If the user gave input for first name and last name then only this two columns must be displayed in the report.

Yes it is possible but you will have to write down formulas for these columns.
First add all required object in your report and format them in your report.
Now say you want Last name to appear when you user enters last name in prompt.
Write down following formula
Report Detail Area
=If(UserResponse("Last Name"))="USER INPUT" Then [LNAME]
For column Heading you can use
=If(UserResponse("Last Name"))="USER INPUT" Then "Column Heading"
The same pattern may be applied for other columns.

Can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page/

Hi All, I have a doubt about prompts.can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page without hide a section. Thanks, Hari.

If I'm not wrong I dont think so, check this for possible options http://intelligentinsight.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/obiee-11g-hidden-prompts-and-hiding-prompts/
I think we may do it using JavaScript or CSS.

HT4191 How do I get to "When prompted, select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device."? I can't get to this!

I have duplicate Notes on my iphone 4 (upgraded to iOS 5.1.1) I have followed your instructions to remove the duplicates. How do I get "select Detete Notes" to appear on my Mac? I have connected my phone to my Mac and selected it in iTunes. I clicked the Info pane and deselected the option to Sync Notes. THEN WHAT should I do? How do I get the prompt "Select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device. (I do want to sync them using the over-the-air feature.)

I would try the following:
First sync your phone with iTunes to create a new backup (just in case). When done, disconnect your phone from your computer.
Next be sure that all of your Notes are on your mac (Don't proceed any further if they aren't). If so, turn off iCloud syncing for Notes on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to Off. When prompted choose to delete the notes from your phone.
Next, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect your phone to your computer, click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar.
Go to the Info tab and under Other check Sync Notes, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone, check Notes.
Click Apply at the bottom right to sync your phone. This should sync the Notes from your mac to your phone and you should no longer have duplicate Notes.
Next, on the Info tab uncheck Sync Notes and click Apply, when prompted select to keep the Notes on your phone (haven't tested this step but I believe you will be given the option to keep them on your phone).
Now disconnect your phone from your computer and check the Notes on your phone to confirm that they are still there and that you don't have any duplicates.
Next turn on iCloud syncing on your phone again by going to Settings>iCloud and turning Notes to On.
On your computer, without connecting your phone, go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and uncheck "Prevent…from syncing automatically" to re-enable automatic syncing.
That should do it.

Previous 4 months column need to be displayed based on prompt selection

Hi,

when i select august from prompt i need to display 4 month previous of august
so my result should be
apr,may,jun,jul and august
if i select february then my result should be
jan and feb
basically i need to hide columns based on prompt selection
can i know how to do this

Hi
I think you have to go for Data level Security in this case.
You have to set that Session variable in the Group/User Permissions tab so that the Group members can see only those regions data only, even if they go for a
search.
Otherwise there is nothing to restrict the user in all the directions.
You have to apply that filter on all the tables in that Subject area.
Hope this will help you.
Guys, Please correct me if I am wrong
thanks

DM package prompt selection

Hi All
Can i create DM package : prompt selection with the selection criteria as a property for the perticular dimension for (2) pre-filtered dimension members based on a property. Here is the business scenario: we want to allow the users to copy data from trend data points to known data points BUT only allow this functionality for non-driver based accounts. So the idea is to have an indicator property on the account master data and used that property to help us drive the package.
Appreciate for any answers
Thanks
AK

Hi Nilanjan

We are copying from   known to anticipated. for the accounts which has property as account type as "INC" .

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,
Stan

Hi GN,
Create an variable prompt ( Eg: v_days ) and add custom values as 15,30,45,100 into it and keep the default as 45.
Use v_days variable in another column prompt (Eg: Period) with the format MON-YYYY.
Now when user selects no of days , period will get the corresponding change.
Thanks,
Haree

Using presentation variables selected in dashboard prompt in query builder

In dashboard prompt I have made four dropdowns(have four presentation variables) and based on these values selected,can the Query Builder generate dynamic reports based on the presentation variables selected?
I will provide the link(i.e Link of BI publisher where I stored the report) displayed to the user based on Four presentation variables.
If we click on that link can we use the presentation variables in where clause of Query Builder in BI Publisher?
Please help me out
Thanks in Advance

- OK. In the second prompt, instead of setting Default to SQL Results, set it to Specific Value.
- Then insert '{pres_var}' in the window. I got it to work this way.
- It supplied the PV as the default in the second prompt after hitting "Go" on the first prompt.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion but I don't need to have the value of the presentation variable itself as the prompt default. The variable is a filter for a specific SQL clause and the default is the result of this SQL.
Cheers
