How to hide a Dashboard prompt in an ibot delivery.

Hi All.
I need to schedule an ibot delivery for a Dashboard into a PDF. There is a prompt on the dashboard , which also appears in the PDF which the users say they don't want to see it.
Instead they want the Dashboard name printed on the dashboard dynamic like " Name " as of "October 2008".
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Hi Sridhar,
I think I have a part of your solution.
You can add guided navigation to the section of your dashboard prompt, to conditionally display the section. Click on the properties button of the section in the edit dashboard page, to see what I mean.
So the trick is to create a report which returns records when the dashboard is run by a normal user (dashboard prompt will be shown), and no records when the dashboard is run by the ibot (section will be hidden).
I don't know how this report should look like, maybe you can play around with the session variable of the iBot sender.
Regards,
Stijn

How to hide/show dashboards for user/groups

Hi,
Please help on how to hide/show dashboard menu/sub menu to users/groups based on their profile settings.
thanks in advance.
regards,
kumar.

Hi Jinu,
1) Do some or all of those subreports span multiple pages?
2) Do each of the Subreports start on a new page?
If yes, for both, then here's what you need to do:
1) Create a formula (@True) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= True
2) Create another formula (@False) with this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus:= False
Drag and drop the @True formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to be suppressed.
Similarly, drop the @False formula on the details sections for which you want the Page Footer to show up.
Then, go to the Section Expert > Select Page Footer c > Click the formula button beside Suppress and use this code:
shared booleanvar SetStatus;

How to hide a dashboard in OBIEE 11g?

Hi All,
How do we hide a complete dashboard in OBIEE 11g? A particular dashboard page can be hidden by going to dashboard properties but there is no option to hide a complete dashboard. Also, in Administration, there is no 'Manage Interactive Dashboard' section like it was there in OBIEE 10g where we could hide a particular dashboard.
Thanks in Anticipation,
Karan

Go to your dashboard page --> there is catalog folder is available here you can restrict hiding dashboard users.
and dashboard folder under shared folder right click dashboard permission --> No Acess also set that dashboard property as "Hiden"
Thanks

Changing 'All Column Values' in dashboard prompt

In OBIEE 11g, how to modify the dashboard prompt All label value? I do not want to change value in XML file , because it will impact all dashboard prompt value.
Is it there better method to implement this problem?
For example:
In dashboard prompt-->edit -->options--->tick 'Include "All Column Values" choice in the list', so I can view '(All Column Values)' value in prompt. Customers want to changed this value,such as 'all values'. Is it possible? Thanks.

Hi,
Can do it using Union All is prompt SQL and presentation variable in report.

OBIEE - How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt?

Hello! I need some help with OBIEE dashboard Prompts. Any help will be highly appreciated!
Question 1. How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt or the entire prompt? There seems to be no "hide" or "dsable" options on
prompts.
Question 2. How to synchronize 2 different prompts on the same dashboard?
The application is this: There are total of 2 tabs on a dashboard ("tab_1" and "tab_2"). Each tab uses different prompts ("pr_1" and "pr_2"), having just one first drop down column in common ("Product_id").
The desired functionality is this: user selects "Product_id" on the first tab's prompt, which filters its reports (on "Go") and also propagates to the second tab. When user clicks on the second tab, the reports there are already filtered (or begin filtering) by "product_id", selected on the first tab.
Question 3. How to prevent the reports from retrieving when switching to a different tab on a dshboard? Specifying dummy default values in the prompt does
not seem to preven reports from retrieving, which still takes time.
Thank you very much!
Roger

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:

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompts can be selected sequencely (unhide/hide)

Hi,
I want to show dashboard prompt sequencely. The user completed one of dashboard prompt the other prompts can be hide.
How can I make a relationship between dashboard prompts for selection the prompts one by one?
Do you have any suggestions?
thank your replies.

Thanks. I would need only ONE Clarification.
the Fact table has data at Date Level. For Example,
Date Revenue Stage
20120101 123.98 1a
20120302 178.965 1b
20120401 768.99 1c
The report should contain the following columns based on date range selection:- Start Date & End Date
Start_Date_Revenue End_Date_Revenue Start_Date_Stage End_Date_Stage
So, I have used FILTER(Revenue using Date = 'Presentation Variable for Start Date') & FILTER(Revenue using Date = 'Presentation Variable for End Date') for Revenue Calculation.
Similarly, is there any way to retrieve the stage columns data for each date and show it in report?
Note:_ I have tried the filter function for Dimension Column to bring Stage but it works only for Measure Column

Hide Reset button in dashboard prompt

Helllo,
There is a issue with the reset button in the dashboard prompt where it clears the selections made, only if apply button is not clicked on. As per oracle that is the intended functionality of 'reset' button, however if you want to clear the selections made in the prompt -- go to clear my selections!
Now this is the senario i am facing, i made a custom link and placed bellow the prompt which would clear the selections made, now i want to hide the 'reset' button or atleast change change the name from reset to something else like 'clear' and change the position of the button.
Could anybody help me how I can achieve this, may be tweak xml of prompt template, i dont know. I think it is ok until the functionality of this button is changed by oracle in next releases to tweak the source xml for this prompt, so that I dont have to do it individually for every prompt.
Thanks!

Refer...http://kalpesh-obiee-eklavya.blogspot.com/2011/06/reset-button-on-prompts-11g.html
I'd say rather than customizing XML here just give a static text message below/above the prompt stating the difference between Reset and Clear Prompts Button Functionality. Users can make use of both as per requirement.
Hope this helps

Hide values on dashboard prompt and set defaults

I have a prompt with 3 values,
1) Year-Qtr
2) Year-Qtr Start Date
3) Year-Qtr End Date
2 and 3 are constrained based off of what is in the Year-Qtr drop down. How can I get 2 and 3 to automatically have the values set and also be hidden to the user.
Is this possible?

Check this thread out for different ways of hiding dashboard prompts which is already posted in our forums:
Hide dashboard prompts
And regarding the populating the default values based on the value selected in the other prompt is not possible. The default value will always be a hardcoded vaule which can be in the form of presentation variable or sql results or an expression.
Hope it helps
Thanks

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

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.

Thanks.

How to set the 'default to' field of a dashboard prompt to yesterday?

Hi everyone,
I have a dashboard prompt on a date (fully qualified name Date.Date and type Date).
I also have a simple report with two columns: Date.Date and a mesure (whatever the name).
I managed to filter on the day before the current date in the report by adding an advanced SQL filter:
Date.Date = Cast(TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-1,@{system.currentTime}) as Date)
Now, I would like the prompt to select the day before the current date by default.
The filter on Date.Date would be 'is prompted' or so.
How do I set the "Default to" field of the prompt?
Thanks in advance

Hi
go to your prompt..
select SQL Results from Default to: dropdown..
here.. you need to write your Logical SQL..
which defaults to the previous date
some thing like this..
*select case when 1=0 then anydate column else timestampadd(sql_tsi_day, -1, CURRENT_DATE) end FROM SubjectArea name*
write like this.. and report back...

Hey john,
My requirement is as follows
I have created a Rank for Total sales by Region wise i.e RANK(SUM(Dollars By Region)) in a pivot table.
My pivot table looks like this
COLUMN SELECTOR: TOTAL US , REGION , DISTRICT , MARKET
---------------------------------------------------- JAN 2009          FEB 2009        MAR 2009
RANK              REGION                  DOLLARS           DOLLARS        DOLLARS DOLLARS
1 CENTRAL 10 20 30 40
2 SOUTHERN 10 30 30 70
3 EASTERN 20 20 20 60
4 WESTERN 10 20 30 40
When i select the District in column selector
Report has to display rank based on Total Sales by District. i.e
------------------------------------------------- JAN 2009         FEB 2009       MAR 2009
RANK             DISTRICT              DOLLARS           DOLLARS        DOLLARS DOLLARS
for this i need to change the fx of rank i.e RANK(SUM(Dollars By Region)) to RANK(SUM(Dollars By District)) and fx of Region i.e Markets.Region to Markets.District dynamically.
so , i need to capture column name of the value selected from the column selector and dynamically i need to update the fx 0f RANK & fx of region.

How can we display the list of Report Names in Dashboard Prompt?
