Multiselect prompt

Hi, is it possible to configure the multiselect to make that field one that could be populated either by directly typing a value into the field or via the multi select? Or allow typing a string of values with a delimiter - for instance in SSN typing something like 012345678, 234554324, 888556666 to search on multiple values?
thx,
parag

In the multiselect prompt, there is a search field. You can choose the search criteria from the drop down and key in the search key words. eg. you can search for all values starting with the letter A by typing A and then clicking in Go.
Hope this helps

We are facing an issue regarding the sort order of the Multiselect prompt. When we select More values(More than 256) in the multiselect prompt by pressing on the more button in the application the order of the values in the prompts is lost and they get displayed randomly.
I tried putting the sort order column in the rpd also the sql in the prompt the back end query is generated as required but the values doesnt display as Order By whereas they are displayed in random.
Please help on this issue? Or is it a product Bug?
Thanks:

SQL not working in Multiselect prompt

Hi all,
I have restricted the results in Multiselect Prompt by giving the sql query.It is working fine but when i try to search for particular record in Multiselect it is not filtering the results by applying the query instead it is using the base query with no restrictions.
Please help.

I understand and I don't understand... So you have a dashboard prompt set to multi-select, yes? You have changed "Show" to "SQL Results" and added your "active products" filter, yes? Now with the prompt and report in the dashboard, you click on the ellipsis of the prompt and for example, you change "Match" to "begins with," type "A" and click on "Go" which then displays all the values that begin with "A," yes?
Now you select those "A" products and click on the left arrow to bring them to the left pane, yes? Then you click "Ok" which closes the window and click on "OK" one more time to run the prompt, yes?
Now you are saying that the report filters "all the products that start with 'A' both active and inactive, yes? And this is what I don't understand. The report should be filtered by the specific "A" starting products you selected in the prompts, not "all 'A' starting values" regardless of whether they are active or inactive. If you have "Is Prompted" on the appropriate column, you should get only those values from the prompt, nothing more.
How are you getting "all values that start with 'A'"? Please explain.

Selected Values not displaying in Multiselect Prompt

Hi all,
We are having reports with Multiselect Prompts. When we select values , we are unable to see the corresponding values. Is their any rule like Multiselect Prompt won't work if there are Null values in it..

Hi,
There is no case that if your column contains NULL values multi select prompt wont work.
It should work irrespective of values in column.
Just check that you have selected Control as Multi select for Prompt column.

Constraining values in Multiselect Prompt-urgent

Hi Guys,
I have a problem. I need to constrain the values in a multiselect prompt based on the values of another prompt.
Now the problem is, the multiselect prompt is constraining the values but when i search for some other value(which should have been constrained) it shows up.
I tried using presentation variable in the sql query for the prompt. But that also doesnt work.
Any help please..
Regards,
Ronnie

are you using two different prompts or one prompt with two column selections in it. if it is one prompt then u cannot use pre. variable in the sql query. since the variable will set only after you hit 'go'. create two prompts. one with pre. variable. then use this variable in the second prompt. in your dashboard u need to select a value from the first prompt b4 using ur multiselect prompt.

Setting Presentation Variable with Multiselect Prompt

I want to know if there is a way to set presentation variables from a multiselect prompt. I want to store all the values that the user has selected from the prompt.
Mrinalini.

I have a report in which I use Oracle analytic functions. But I have to show only subset of all records because of analytic functions. In case of ListBox I use a presentation variable in a FILTER(expr1 USING expr2). How may I do this in case of multiselect prompt? It doesn't support presentation values.

Hi,
here an abstact from the support:
Applies to:

How to set up a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g?
Solution
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts.
OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
So basically you can't set a presenation variable from a Multiselect Prompt, that's because you can't show the values selected in any views.
I don't know if there is somr way to do this with javascript.

Waiting for any work arounds on this.

How to disable Edit in Multiselect Prompt

Hi ,
I've selected mutiselect prompt in my dashboard, Can any one let me know the scripts to disable the edit button in prompt.
Thanks,
Malli

Hi ,
Just try to remove the following code in
OracleBI\web\msgdb\messages\promptviewtemplates.xml
Under WebMessage name="kmsgGFPMultiSelectEditDialog" translate="no">
in that file remove the below code
sawm:setParam name="editor">
<textarea cols="40" rows="7" id="idGFPMultiSelectEditArea" class="EditTextArea" />
</sawm:setParam>
So that even if you click edit option it will allow you to edit.If you want to remove that completely just check the same xml file you may get some option.
I think this is helpful for you.
Thanks,

Distinct Values in Multiselect Prompts

Hello All,
I have the following Constrained Multi-select Prompts....
Partner, Country Group, Country
Though the list of Partners is unique, the list of Country Group and Country repeats.
If I try to use SQL to populate the prompt, I can no longer constrain it.
Has anybody found a solution to this?
Thanks!!

OK, try a different approach then. Why not a prompt for "Partner" then use either a column selector for "Country Group" and "Country" or a drill down (or navigation) to the next report which filters on Country Ggroup and then on Country?
One prompt, the rest is either a select (column selector) or a drill...

Multiselect & Drop-down Prompt usage in Obiee 10g

Hi all,
A prompt is created using the same column twice.
First prompt,say Cust name with drop-down as option and it is set to constraint.
Second prompt Cust name created with Multi-select as option for the user to select.
When I select particular values from the multiselected option prompt, those values are reflected in drop-down listed prompt. This is working fine.
But when I choose values using begins with option in the multiselect prompt(Eg: Inside the multiselect dialog, first i'm filtering the values as cust name begins with AR), then it is not reflected in the Drop-down prompt.
My expectation is that it should get reflected whether the user chooses with/without search option in the multiselect dialog.
Guys, pl share your ideas....
regards,
arul

Hi,
Try this.
Look and feel is different of Obiee 11g as compare to obiee 10. but we can create Dashboard inside another dashboard(as u want in drop down).
for this create new dashboard as follows:
New-> Dashboard -> in Name section gives the name of new dashboard as u want in drop down -> in Location section choose the path from drop down list or u can browse -> click on OK button.
Thanks,
Satya

Using Same Request with prompted filters in Guided Navigation

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement wherein i have to show a report only when it returns results.
For this i put the request in a section and applied a guided navigation using the same Request as source Request.
Can i use the same request in the guided navigation as source request?
In the Request there are filters which are Prompted
My question --> in the Source Request in Guided Navigation , do i have to make the filters as prompted or do i have to make them equal to Presentation variables,which are populated from dashboard prompts.
Also i have one of the prompt as multiselect prompt...
Thanks
Ashish

Ashish,
Yes, you can use the same request here.
For request, you can use 'IsPrompted' if same column is used in Prompt else use presentation variable here which is populated from the dashboard prompt. Just based on the selected 'specific' value the report shud show results.

Order in Multi-Select Prompt

Hello friends!
I have a problem doing a multiselect prompt. I have a Time dimension that it has Year, Month, Day. In my prompt I have only Month (because I have another prompt in my dashboard with Year).
In my month prompt I have SQL Results with this formula: SELECT DISTINCT("- Dim TimeDim"."Month") FROM "Consulting". I put DISTINCT because I see only twelve months one time but my problem is that I see from dashboard when I click to select some months with alphabetical order (April, August... and I want to see: January, February...
Any help??
Thanks!!!

I have this property in Administration Tab. I have Set Order by CodMes.
For example if in my prompt I don't have SQL Results I can see sort my month correctly but I see all months of my time dimension january,february...january again,february again... so I have DISTINCT but I lose the order...
Any Help?

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.

Switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G)

Hi All,
I have a requirement : I have to switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G).
Lets say I have 1 report in section1 and another report in section2 of a dashboard. I have a dashboard prompt,now say when the user does not select any value in a prompt I have to show section1 and when he selects values in a prompt then I have to show section2 of the dashboard. I tries this using Guided Navigation Link and presentation variable but there is a limitation that I have to select only one value in the prompt as i have created presentation variable.
But the client wants the prompt as Multi Select. in this case I can 't use the presentation variable.
How can I fulfil this requirement.Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

How you create your multiselect prompt? Is it based on a column? Using multiselect prompt you'll get an issue in this case. The prompt behavior with choosing all values and choosing nothing is equivalent. But your requirement has different behavior lines.
