Hyperlink on charts

Hello,
In WEBI 4.1, we have new feature called "Add Element link" where we can link two blocks in report . this means when we click on the chart it will show you corresponding data in Vertical table.For example , we can link chart and vertical table and click Year = 2014 in the Chart , all the related information of year 2014 will be shown in the Vertical table. Linking can be done only on the blocks which in that report tab.
My business requirement is , when user clicks on chart, instead of showing the data in the same report tab, can we load another report through using OPENDOC and show the related information in it. This means REPORT- A contains all graphical information and when user clicks on the bar chart , all the related data should be shown in REPORT-B , using OPENDOC. Is it possible in 4.1 WEBI ?
Regards,
S

Hello Sainath,
It is still not working.
Below are the steps which I am following,
1) Take vertical table , Add Year and Sales revenue from Efashion universe
2) Right click on Year, Choose Linking -> Add Hyperlink
3) after we define all the details of linking document, formula looks like below
="<a href=\"http://serverName:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=10209&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sWindow=New&lsSYear="+URLEncode(""+[Year])+"\" title=\"ReportB\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"web\">"+[Year]+"</a>"
4) Also choose the option "Read content as Hyperlink"
5) Now when we click on the year it will automatically load another report and show the details
Now the problem is when we click on the vertical table and use the option "Turn To" to bar chart. Chart will be displayed but hyperlink is lost. My business criteria is when the end user clicks on the chart For example on Year = "2005", it should load relevant data in another report. Is this possible ?
Regards,
S

Items on page not set when called via hyperlink from charts

hello anyone who can help me on this thorny issue,
i have a barchart on one page (page 39), where if you click on the bar chart, page 40 opens and variables are passed on to items on page 40. the variables depend on which bar was clicked. looks somethiing like this:
select 'F?P=102:40:'||:APP_SESSION||'::NO::P40_DATE,P40_JAHR:'||to_char(datum, 'yyyy.mm.dd')||','||to_char(datum, 'yyyy') link,
to_char(datum, 'dd.mm.yyyy') Datum,
Avg_mips
from ... some sql query....
this generally works - BUT, once in awhile, the correct page opens, but the items are NULL!
only when i press F5 to refresh the page, do the variables correctly pass to the items and the proper query is performed...
after some testing, it seems to happen when i click quite fast. quickly get back to the page 39, click a new bar and then i'm back at page 40 again.
if i do this slowly, maybe wait a couple of seconds, it generally works.
for ex., the URL would look something like this:
http://daidalos:7777/pls/apex/F?P=102:40:2118535974571692::NO::P40_DATE,P40_JAHR:2008.12.16,2008
- i know the variables are correct when i look at the URL
- yet the new graph on page 40 shows null values, and a click on the "session" button confirms that the items are null!
- once i press F5, the URL is the exact same, onle the items are now "refreshed" and the proper processing can take place.
so, can anyone tell me what is going on here and how i can avoid this?
the items are set as "hidden" (not protected). there are no computations or default settings to the items, and they are not reset to null at any time.
regards,
mike

Mike:
I suspect that the chart on page 40 is being rendered by an APEX database connection that is not the same one that renders the rest of the stuff on page 40. So, it is possible that the database connection rendering the chart does not see the new values for the page items set in the URL as these may not have been committed to the database yet.
You could try this.
Change the chart query to be
select 'javascript:setStuff("' || to_char(datum, 'yyyy.mm.dd') || '","' ||to_char(datum, 'yyyy') || '")' link,
to_char(datum, 'dd.mm.yyyy') Datum,
Avg_mips
from ... some sql query...Add the JS below into the HRML page header<script>
function setStuff(p_date,p_jahr) {
$x('P40_DATE').value=p_date
$x('P40_JAHR').value=p_jahr
doSubmit('XXXX');
</script>Define an 'After Submit...' branch to page 40. Make the branch conditional on Request = 'XXXX'

Problem to transfer Variable value to Dashboard A to Dashboard B

Hi,buddies:
     I have a scenario that I have to jump from Total Dashboard(we call it A) to Detail Dashboard(we call it B),I work with Xcelsius directly connect to BW through SAP NetWeaver BW connection ,I can transfer Variable values to B through URL with command like this:
     http://hqbd6.sinopec.com:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?DASHBOARD=R2JN_DASHTESTB
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_VARIABLES_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE=G1CALMONTH_DZ_MIS
&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE=VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING
&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING=2011.07
But at this condition,The variables of Dashboard B are not bound to any cell because they will be set at run time with values passed in the URL.
My question is can I get the Variable value from the URL in the Xcelsius Designer and put it into a specified cell and link this cell with the query,so that even jump to Dashboard B I can still change the variable values.
Best Regards

Let me explain the issue in detail.
In Query Designer, both the year and month variables are defined by user exit function to read current year and month and can be modified during the query runtime.
In WAD, Query1 is used to be a table with a table interface to hyperlink a chart which is defined by Query2 with the same variable value of Query1.
During the runtime of template, if I change the variable value of Query1 , I want the variable of Query2 to be changed automatically with the same new value.
So in the table interface of Query1 , I write the ABAP code in "SE24" and related source code to the variable is following:
concatenate
'function fire_urlJGSP_Col(filter) {'
Cl_rsr_www_renderer=>c_lf
'chart_url="' url '" + "&CMD=LDOC'
'&TEMPLATE_ID=GCCHART_9' "WEB ID of the work book
'&PAGEID=Graphics'       "Name of the view
'&CMD=PROCESS_VARIABLES&SUBCMD=VAR_SUBMIT&VAR_NAME=Z2MYEAR&VAR_VALUE_EXT=" + filter'
Cl_rsr_www_renderer=>c_lf
'openWindow(chart_url,"chart_window","dependent=yes","600",'
'"450","true")'
Cl_rsr_www_renderer=>c_lf
into l_coding.
In this way , I can only transfer the year variable value from Query1 to Query2 and not two variables .
So , how shall I do to transer the two variable value in the same?

Hyperlinks in "organizational chart" not converting

I have tried using the MS office "organization chart" (insert-> picture-> organization chart)function in word, excel, and ppt to make a drawing tree with hyperlinks. All of the links are lost when I convert to PDF. I also tried using VISIO to create a tree structure with hyperlinks and I have the same problem.
Does anybody know how I can get this to work?
Thanks,
Jarrod

I have tried using both "file->print" and "adobe PDF-> convert to Adobe PDF"
I have found that as long as the hyperlink is not in an "object", it will convert to pdf, but any link that is in a text box, or embedded body like a visio drawing tree or MS office org chart, it will not convert to PDF hyperlink.
Also, I have found that a hyperlink in a table or copied cells from excel will convert, but It is too much work to make a org chart from scratch.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jarrod

Is it possible to create a hyperlink in a WebI chart?

Hi,
I am trying to create a grouped bar chart in WebI (BO XI 3.1) in which clicking on a column should open a different WebI report, passing the selected values as parameters to the report. I have tried to create a hyperlink on the x-axis dimension object, but even when the "read content as hyperlink" option is checked, the axis labels still show the "<a href=http .... " text instead of the hyperlink interpretation and the hyperlink does not work.
When the same link is applied to a table, it works fine.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Sander

Hi Praven,
Thanks for your reply. However, the problem is not in creating a hyperlink in a cell. As I mentioned in the initial question, the hyperlink works perfectly when part of a table. It will show the other report with the dimension objects filtered as you would expect.
The table holds three columns:
- Shoporder
- Operation
- Count
I have set the hyperlink on the operation dimension and when a row is clicked, the target report is opened for that operation and that shoporder.
The problem is that this hyperlink functionality seems not available (or not working correctly) in a chart.
Thanks,
Sander

Bar chart with hyperlink values in X-Axis in XIR2

Hi folks,
I am trying to create a bar chart which shows values for 2 measures using one dimension in the X-axis. I want an hyperlink associated with the values in the X-axis because I want to implement the ability of drilling through to another report when I click any of those values. That second report will show information filtered by the value of the dimension I clicked on.
I was reading a bit about it and it looks like it is not possible. The workaround provided was to make a table aside the chart and implement that behaviour in the table, not in the chart.
Anyone of you could confirm this? Any of you has another ideas?
Thanks a million
J. Russell

Hi Arif,
That is one of the work-arounds I have in mind.

Hyperlink in iGrid Cell?

Hi,
Is it possible to have a hyperlink in a iGrid cell?
Thanks,
Sara

Sara:
My technique is to use a string property (a string transaction output), then I wrote a library of small transactions that create the correct HTML content for various types of HTML tags (tables, rows, columns, divs, etc). I invoke these as needed, and the resultant HTML snippet is appended to the string transaction output property.
To generate the HTML content, I invoke the runner servlet, pass the name of the appropriate output parameter in OutputParameter=XXX, and add to the URL:
&Content-Type=text/html
I've used this technique to create specialized tables, gantt charts, and entire pages dynamically as well.
AJAX is also a viable approach. The only real disadvantage is that you can't edit/manage the application logic as easily in a single place, but it is definitely a good approach to use AJAX if you'll be leveraging some of the very cool AJAX UI libraries out there.
Again, I am a big fan of Adobe Flex also. It can easily integrate with/share events with the MII applets and other HTML content on the page, or you can build entire apps with Flex using just MII as the back end.
Hope this helps,
Rick

Acrobat X Pro does not print Excel charts from 2010 Word doc to PDF correctly

Hi,
I am trying to create a PDF from Word 2010 using Adobe Acrobat X and preserve hyperlinks but when I go through the PDF maker toolbar, the Excel charts in the Word file do not print correctly. They come up as large white boxes with a small grey arrow icon in the lower-right corner (looks like a "play" button). Does anyone know why this is and if there's a solution to this problem? Is there an update or a fix? I have a lot of Excel charts in the Word file...
Thanks in adavance,
Kika

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .

Some basic questions about Reports' chart capabilities

Hi,
I'm currently surveying my options for a web based application that we are developing that requires reports with charts in HTML, PDF and Excel format.
As the application is being built around 9i DB and AS it would be great to take advantage of the functionality already available to us, but I wanted to clarify the following to determine if I need to also use any external packages to support my needs:
(1) With Oracle Reports, when charts are embedded in a PDF are they generated as bitmap or vector diagrams?
(2) I've searched around the OTN and couldn't find a complete list of the charts available within Reports - is such a list available anywhere? Are there any samples anywhere so I can get a feel of the "aesthetic" qualities of the output of Reports?
(3) Do charts support any image map or DHTML features (ie. mouseover to get textual display of numeric values).
(4) Does Reports support an Excel export capability. I don't mean a simple CSV dump of data - I mean a fully formatted Excel spreadsheet with charts, etc.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
cheers... adam.

Hi,
(1) With Oracle Reports, when charts are embedded in a PDF are they generated as bitmap or vector diagrams? With Oracle Reports 9i, Charts are generated as gif files during the generation of PDF files, but the gif files are deleted after the PDF is generated, they are embedded in the PDF file.
(2) I've searched around the OTN and couldn't find a complete list of the charts available within Reports - is such a list available anywhere? Are there any
samples anywhere so I can get a feel of the "aesthetic" qualities of the output of Reports? Oracle reports 9i is integrated with bi bean, the complete list of the charts (bar, area, line, pie, ...) is available on Bibean doc. You can take a look at http://otn.oracle.com/products/bib/content.html.
(3) Do charts support any image map or DHTML features (ie. mouseover to get textual display of numeric values). With Oracle Reports 9i, charts support image map and hyperlink. But you need to specify when you create the chart.
(4) Does Reports support an Excel export capability. I don't mean a simple CSV dump of data - I mean a fully formatted Excel spreadsheet with charts, etc. You can't put report with charts in Excel spreadsheet.

Link from WEBI chart to WEBI report

All, how can I link a WEBI chart (column) chart to an detail WEBI report. Appreciate any inputs.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi Ann,
You can use the chart bars as reportfilter (much like the dropdown box filter effect),
It is actually implemented as an input control, so you can control a detail table below the chart by clicking on a chart bar.
However hyperlink from the table is not possible in BI40 (yet).
(Right click the table, Linking, Add element link).
So you either have to use the data in the same report option, or use the hyperlink option from a table cell...
(Right click the cell, Linking, Add hyperlink).
As I noticed you are using BICS, before jumping to using dashboards (FKA excelsius), be aware that the BICS connectivity in there is still the version running on BW, so unlike a WebI report, you have to publish the dashboard in BW and access it via an SAP portal environment, you cannot run it directly from within BI launchpad (in BI41 this will change). So to link from the portal environment to the BI launchpad for the WebI document you would need some portal integration work too.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Pie Chart - Have no link and stop cursor from changing.

Hi,
I have a simple pie chart (flash) with the query:
select
     NULL link,
     rag.meaning,
     count(wp_id)
from ......
For this particular chart I do no want a link from the pie chart to another page so I have defined the link as NULL. This works OK and clicking the chart does nothing (as expected).
Unfortunately the cursor still changes from the normal arrow to a pointing finger (as it does for any other hyperlink) which may confuse the user into thinking they should be able to click here and drill down.
How can I stop the link from existing entirely?
Many thanks,
Martin

Trouble with Org Chart

Hello Visio/Sharepoint Experts
I created an org chart on visio 2010 with only the executive team that I plan to publish on Sharepoint 2010.
However, I need help. Take for example John Smith, he is a director and has 15 people on his team. Only John will be visible on the org chart. The rest of his team will only be visible when someone clicks on John’s name, a box with the 15 team mates appear
next to John’s name.
So, in short I want to create a hyperlinked box only visible when someone clicks on John’s Name.. I don’t want the box to open in a new page/window. Is it possible?
Thank you

Hi，
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to hide the sub team in the ORG chart until you need to show it.
Please try to right click the "director shape">Click Hide subordinates.
If there is a sub team hided, it 'll show a small icon in the right bottom. Just right click shape> Show subordinates
