Multi-Select Prompt default prompt should display 'All Choices'

If a multi-select prompt doesn't have a value, it shows as blank, which
technically means "%" ie. all values. Is it possible to display the text 'All Choices' so that users understand that the reports are based on all values of that blank prompt field.
Please suggest,
Thanks.

If we enter the text 'All Choices' as the default to in the prompt then this value is checked against the other values for this column in the table. Eg: - If we want Name to be the multi-select prompt. There is no match for 'All Choices' in the database table and the report does not return any rows. We need a functionality similar to the one available for drop-down list control. For drop-down control OBIEE by default offers the option 'All Choices' which in the query is used as %. In drop down we can only select one name at a time or All. The user needs to have the flexibility to either select multiple names or select an option All Choices which will return all results.
Any suggestions on this.
Thanks.

<<<< with front-end do you refer to SAP R/3 ?
No Matias with Front-End I meant Third Party is providing the web-page where end-user can enter the details & those will be refined & corrected by the Third-Party Application.
<<<<< Which ways has the Third-Party app to connect with (file, database, jms, etc.).
Third-Party App is providing Java Classes & Web-Services for integration but we don't want to access them directly, first of all we would like to invoke/access the Front-end application.
<<<< What is the purpose of this third-party app ? just to receive data, validate it and return it once it is corrected ?
Actually in this Front-end user can enter the data on given fields & data will be keep on refining while he is entering the more information into that given field. For e.g if the field says "City" & user enters "DE", a drop-down will come with all the cities in the world starting with "DE" like Delhi, Denmark etc.Once all the fields are populated with correct data user will click on "Submit" button which will send the data to SAP R/3 ( which we wish to do ).
Now in this case when user will click on Submit button ( means Third-party will initiate the process ) & data will be send to XI using ( for e.g ) HTTP sender then ABAPer's raised concern that how they will be able to show it in the right screen without using proper thread ID.
Pls. let me know in case you require any further information. My problem is this how to relate the Third-Party data with correct screen of SAP.
Thanks

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

List column drop down not displaying all choices when user has read permissions

One of my co-workers created a workflow with an associated list. I gave a user read permissions to the list but they cannot view or filter all of the choices from a column. For example the column is named STATUS and has 4 choices, COMPLETED, CANCELED,
IN-PROGRESS and NOT STARTED but the user is only able to view the COMPLETED items.

Hi brianti,
For troubleshooting this issue, please provide the followings:
Could other user with full control see all items?
How did you create the list? I am wondering whether you enabled Content Approval in the list. If yes, please go to List settings->Versioning settings, select "Any user who can read items" under "Who should see draft items in this
list? ".
How did your co-worker create the workflow? Please provide the actions that your co-worker used in the workflow.
If you provide the above, it will make others in the forum easy to find a solution for you.
Best Regards,
Wendy

Resetting Selection from a Multi-Select Dashboard Prompt in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I have a dashboard prompt, containing 3 columns which all are set to allow multi selection and default value is all values.
In 10g, after choosing some values in one of the prompt and clicking Go button, I can manually remove all my selection to reset it back to the default value (which is all values).
In 11g, however, I am not able to find how to do it. The reset button doesn't reset back to the default value (which is all values). So what I have to do is to use the "Clear All Customization", which will clear all my selection for all the prompts.
Any suggestion on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi Deepak, actually I don't need any script to do that in 10g.
It's a built in feature in 10g. If you remember, for multiselect prompt in 10, we will click the "..." button to show the box for value selection. Then we can move values from left box to the right to include them, or vice versa to not include them. So by moving the values from right box to the left, I essentially revert to default value which mean all values will be shown.
In 11g, this box is not shown anymore, instead we are checking the values one by one from a drop down list.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Limitation for values in Multi Select in prompts?

Hi all...I have a dashboard with a report and a prompt .
I have multi select enabled in prompt. I defaulted that prompt to a single value.
I have 1700 values in multi select. The user wants to select all. When user selected all and hit GO on prompt,
it is not taking all values but still getting defaulted value output of report.
How do I fix this?

Try doing this. Instead of using a dashboard prompt, do this:
1) Add a pivot table to your Compound Layout view (if you already have one, then just modify it as follows.)
2) Duplicate the layer of the "prompt" column and put it in the Pages section.
3) Left click the "sigma sign" in the Pages section of the pivot table and select either "Before" or "After." This will add the "All Pages" option either "before" or "after" the individual values. I recommend "Before" since you have 1700 values.
4) Once more, left click the "sigma sign" in the Pages section of the pivot table, but this time, select "Format Labels." Now you can rename "All Pages" to "All Choices" or whatever you want to call it.

Display all records from 4 select list

Hi,
trying to associate 4 select list where i could display all records from a list linked to an other list.
1./ Created an item for each select list
P1_employee_name
P1_departments
P1_employee_type
P1_locations
2./Set both null and default values to '-1' for each item
3./Associated these items to source columns in the Region:
where employee_name=:P1_employee_name
or :P1_employee_name ='-1'
and departments=:P1_departments
or :P1_departments ='-1'
and ......
When running the report, couldn't display all records from a given list associated to an other list.
e.g: Display all emp and type of emp for sales dept in Paris.
Thks for your help

I believe the issue is that you need to group your predicates such as:
where (employee_name=:P1_employee_name
or :P1_employee_name ='-1')
and
(departments=:P1_departments
or :P1_departments ='-1')
Also, if you are not already using the "select list with submit" type items, these work great for this case as the page will be submitted when the user changes the value of employeenam and the report will then reflect this change.

Multi-Select Box Not Displaying Values Passed From Grid?

Coldfusion 8
I inherited an application and am trying to maintain and improve it... hit a snag today.
I have a multi-select box that is not displaying what I expect. The values come from a ColdFusion grid which is based off a database query.
Here is the code for the select - does not work - nothing is selected:
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="true" queryposition="below" selected="USER_IDS" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
Now if I change the multiselect to a single select like below - it takes the first item in the field list (from the grid) and selects it in the drop down.
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="false" queryposition="below" selected="USER_IDS" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
Or if I assign a variable like this and use the multi-select code it seems to work as well.
testlist = "22,26";
<cfselect name="USER_IDS" multiple="true" queryposition="below" selected="#testlist#" query="ActiveUsersPlus" disabled="#disabled#" value="G_USER_WORK_UNIT_SK" display="G_USER_ID" >
</cfselect>
I have displayed the value of "User_IDs" in the grid and in the data entry part of the screen to see values of: 22,26
to make sure that wasn't my issue.
Do grids and multiselects require something additional? Any advice on how to resolve?

Problem was related to some javascript for the select box. There was a function for a single select box but not a multiple select box - this fixed it:
if(theForm.elements[i].type == "select-multiple"){
                    var selectBox = theForm.elements[i];
                    var sbname = selectBox.name;
                    cpvalue = String(eval('record.data.' + sbname));
                    var NotifyArray = cpvalue.split(',');
                    for (var j=0; j < selectBox.length; j++) {
                        selectBox[j].selected = false;
                    for (var j=0; j < selectBox.length; j++) {
                        sbvalue = selectBox[j].value;
                        for (var k=0; k < NotifyArray.length; k++){
                            if (sbvalue == NotifyArray[k]){
                                selectBox[j].selected = true;

Upgrade to 10.1.3.4: Problems with multi-select list

Hi,
We upgraded from BiseSEone (10.1.3.2) to 10.1.3.4 (using BI EE). One of the features we were longing for was the improved multi-select list in the dashboard prompts (with a efficient search support). But after the Installation the multi-select list doesn't work at all. There are no data offered and the frames are missing. What could be go wrong here ? There were no problems during the installation. I told the installation to keep the configurations.

Hi guru's,

any way to do that? I am unable to find any option which sets filter value to "All" any sugggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Rani .
I can not use tree option as i want dropdown for filters also everytime the page loads by default it should load all data instaed of the selected items. BTW: got some solution, we need to change the stored procedure in performance point database so that
filter value not get stored in the DB, by design the filter values get stored in PPS database.

Selected value in single-select lookup form tag becomes first value selected in a multi-select lookup on the AddForm

I use the same List to populate Lookups, one single select and one multi-select.
The multi select is for selected depts that are participating in a project.
Only one dept will be the respondering dept, this is the single select.
The respondering dept must always be part of the depts participating.
So if we pick the respondering dept, it becomes the first selection of the participating depts lookup.
I'd like this to be done by SPServices.
Its not really cascading selects because we don't limit the possible selections in the multi-select...we want them all available.
thx for your help

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set the first selection of the participating depts lookup.
First, you need to get the single select column value.
Then you need to sort the the multi-select dropdown list.
When you click the dropdown icon, a HTML Table will be appeared.
You can use JQuery to sort the Table.

R15 Presentation Variables - All Choices

I've got a report that I need to run in several R15 dashboards. Because the dashboards use multiple subject areas I'm using a presentation variable. The report has a filter of ColA = @variable. Works when I select a value from the prompt. When I choose "(All Choices)" from the prompt I get no rows returned. Any way of getting all rows back?

Yes it will not work. Since 'All Values' (ie. All choices) is derived in html which is not a existing value of the field.
If helps pls mark
