Narrative View Issues

Hi All,
I have designed an Answer report (compound layout - Table view and Narraive View) which uses custom javascript to generate a dynamic flowchart using VML(Vector Markup Language). It works fine but only thing is my flowchart goes outside the Narrative View box. How can i control it ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

What do you mean by "goes out of the Narrative View box"?

Issue filtering a report (based on narrative view) with a dashboard prompt.

I used HTML and java-script codes in narrative view to solve the issue of "linking different reports on selecting values from a drop-down". A new issue has cropped up due to that implementation. The issue is that i can't attach a dashboard prompt to such a report. This means, when i put this report on a dashboard page with a dashboard prompt to help filter the report, the report does not gets filtered (it does not seems to be connected to the dashboard prompt).
Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, please let me know how to tackle it at the earliest.

Problem with javascript in narrative view

Hi gurús!
I'm trying to put some conditional logic in a narrative view of my analysis. I found some tips, and wrote that:
<script>
if('@{FIN01TIME}{ }'=='Period')
document.write("[b]Fiscal Year : [/b]@1       [b]Fiscal Quarter : [/b]@2       [b]Fiscal Period : [/b]@3       [b]Roll Up : [/b]@{FIN01ND}{ }      [b]Cost Center : [/b]@{FIN01CC}{ }       [b]Currency : [/b]@{FIN01CURR}{ }")
if('@{FIN01TIME}{ }'=='Quarter')
document.write("[b]Fiscal Year : [/b]@1       [b]Fiscal Quarter : [/b]@2       [b]Roll Up : [/b]@{FIN01ND}{ }      [b]Cost Center : [/b]@{FIN01CC}{ }       [b]Currency : [/b]@{FIN01CURR}{ }")
if('@{FIN01TIME}{ }'=='Year')
document.write("[b]Fiscal Year : [/b]@1       [b]Roll Up : [/b]@{FIN01ND}{ }      [b]Cost Center : [/b]@{FIN01CC}{ }       [b]Currency : [/b]@{FIN01CURR}{ }")
</script>
All works good, but the problem happens when I "click" on paging buttons of my analysis (see attached image: javascript_problem_paging.png). After click, it leaves me to a blank page with only narrative view content. Also, displays "error on page" warning in status bar (see attached image: javascript_problem_afterclick.png)
I believe that this issue happens with "onclick" event of javascript. I tried to disable it, but still not works.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

Fabian

Hi all!
I get my own answer, jeje.
Instead of use "document.write..." I put another narrative view with a <div> control and set it's content by "document.getElementById(..).innerHTML = "(same HTML code)""
It works perfect! I hope that this achievement helps somebody else.

Fabian

Script result not showing up in narrative view

I'm making a org chart as a narrative view.
If I do not tick "Contains HTML Markup" the result of the script is displayed. If I cut-n-past that content into a HTML file it display the result I'm looking for. However if I tick "Contains HTML Markup" the narrative view displays as empty.I have Attached two screenshots displaying this.
Any ideas what I'm not doing right? Have I forgotten some config to enable scripts in narrative view?
this is the script I'm using
Prefix:
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'></script>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
if(document.URL.indexOf("saw.dll?Answers") == -1) {
      google.load('visualization', '1', {packages:['orgchart']});
      google.setOnLoadCallback(drawOrgChart);
      function drawOrgChart() {
if(document.URL.indexOf("saw.dll?Answers") == -1) {
      var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
        data.addColumn('string', 'Name');
        data.addColumn('string', 'Manager');
        data.addColumn('string', 'ToolTip');
        var myOrgArray=[];
        var tempStr = "";
Narrative:
myOrgArray.push(["@1","@3","@2"]);
Postfix
     data.addRows(myOrgArray);
        var chart = new google.visualization.OrgChart(document.getElementById('div_orgchart'));
        chart.draw(data, {allowHtml:true});
    </script>
    <div id='div_orgchart'></div>

Yes, sorry, client is obviously sufficient as well.
Just tried your code and same behaviour here and it doesn't do squat either. Can't deep-dive into that code right now but it's definitely code-related issue rather than a browser one for example.
Thought about trying d3js? Would be easier to reproduce for me as I use that more often than Google's data-munching pipe that pushes all your data through Google Analytics
Edit: Clicked too quickly. Wanted to point you to the SampleApp dashboard page which hosts the example I meant: http://slc02oka.oracle.com:7780/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2F02.%20Visualizations%2F_portal%2F2.32…

Edit 2: Jesus I really should stop clicking "Save Reply" just to not lose it. Simply show your analysis on a dashboard and you're fine. It'll work.

Narrative View.

I have a prompt ISSN
I wanted to display the ISSN in the report dynamically(on the top)(what ever the ISSN selected from the prompt)
I could able to do that with no issues,
But I wanted to display the Content name associated for that ISSN on the top(Narrative view)
but content name is not used as a prompt, so I am not sure how to pass value for Content name to Narrative view.
Please throw some light
FYI :Each content has one ISSN (one to one)
Thanks

How to set page break for Narrative view???

Hi All,
I have created a report in Narrative view using HTML code. I am stuck how to set page break based on a column in Narrative view. If anybody is aware of the issue pls let me know how to overcome this situation. Or if this can be done using HTML code itself pls let me know how to do it.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Honey,
I am not sure on ur requirement but you can achieve page break with a column using pivot view by dragging that column into section area and editing section properties to Insert Page break option.

Data in a narrative view.

Sorry if this is simple. Just want to display the multiple values from a report prompt, not dashboard prompt, in the report. My effort has taken me to the narrative view and am using @12 to display the values in the column which has been filtered. But it is listing the values many times for each row. Can I use the narrative to display only distinct @12s or is there a better way to get the prompt values into the report. Thanks

You can do this with pivot table, it is not possible with Narrative.
1. Create pivot view for same report
2. exclude all the columns other than the column you want to show
3. Put the column in measures
4. duplicate the column, drag the duplicate column in to columns and hide
5. drag measure labels into Rows
6. apply aggregation to First on column in measures.
it works, I will blog it shortly with screen shots soon.

Formula in a narrative view

Hi Gurus,
Can you please help me with narrative views in OBIEE (11.1.1.5)?
I have a table that lists customer sales., e.g.
Customer Sales($mn) Rank
Cust1 800 1
Cust2 450 2
Cust3 350 3
Cust4 300 4
Cust5 40 5
Cust6 30 6
Cust7 20 7
Cust8 10 8
Total 2000
The requirement is to build a narrative view that uses different columns and totals. In this case, the narrative view should say:
Top *3* customers provide *80%* of the revenue.
(n = 3)
(80% = sum(sales) where rank in top n / total sales) = (800+450+350)/2000*100
I can't find a way to incorporate formulas. I can call the sales column (@2) but not able to put the calculation in the narrative view. Has anyone done such a thing before or knows how to do it?
Thank you!!

Thank you, HM... that worked great!!
I have another quick follow up - is there a way to refer to individual values in the result set in a narrative? For example, based on the same table:
Customer $mn Rank
Cust1 800 1
Cust2 450 2
Cust3 350 3
Cust4 300 4
Cust5 40 5
Cust6 30 6
Cust7 20 7
Cust8 10 8
Total 2000
I want to create another narrative that is the ratio of sales of the first and third ranked customer; i.e., the narrative I am trying to build is:
No. 3 has to increase sales by *2.28* times to equal No. 1.
(2.28 = 800/350)
Is that possible, given that my table is sorted by rank?

Pagination in a Narrative view?

Is there a way to use pagination controls in a Narrative view?
I'm looking for either an out-of-the-box way to turn this on (maybe I'm just not seeing it?), or if that's not supported, then any ideas on how it might be otherwise implemented.
Is this do-able at all? Am I just not seeing the place to active this?
Thanks very much.

Unable to pass presentation variable value to Go url with narrative view

I am trying to use navigate option of Go URL. I have Dashboard prompt with presentation variable (pv)defined. I am able to see the pv value in compund view but unable to see in Narrative view. Any thoughts?

Presentation variable in iframe/narrative view/Go URL

I am able to see the peresentaion variable declared in Dashboard Prompt in narrative view.
But when I put in iframe with narrative in Go URL then i am not able to filter the report based on presentation variable Values..." The page throws error
'saw.aViewsToRefersh.all' is null or not an object.'

Do you get that error if you remove the presentation
variable column (@n). Does the a simple iframe work.
Also, how are you referring the presentation variable
in the iframe. I hope you are referring via a dummy
column.
Thanks,
Venkat
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com
Yes the simple iframe work well in the browser. As I am trying to run report based on the dashboard prompt. I have declared presentation variable in Dashboard prompt and referring the presentation variable in the iframe via a dummy column. when i click on 'Go' of dashboard prompt after selecting the value in dropdown list, I see the error on left bottom most of Internet Explorer Showing " Done" is null or not any object. also i see javascript:void(null). I assume that the variable value is not getting passed to parameters i have given in Go URL

Can I write a Java Program in Narrative view and make it work?

Hi All,
I got a requirement which demands me to write a java program in narrative view. As per my knowledge its not possible..........but do you guys have any work around or any other way to get that java program run when the report runs and the out must be seen on the dashboard???
Thanks in advance,
DK

Joe thanks for the reply. I would like to communicate with a JavaScript API (MapQuest) by declaring a Proxy server and port number to communicate. Or I can directly use Java SDK to display maps.
This is more a general question. If I can execute a java program then I will try doing many things.
Thanks,

Reg-Narrative View Case

I have two columns A , B as two prompts.
I am passing Values of A, B to Narrative View.
I f A is selected A value should pass to Narrative View
I f B is selected B value should pass to Narrative View
FYI :User wont select both at a time.
Thanks
NK

If you are using presentation variables then just call them using @{VarName} in Narrative view
like @{A}@
based on the value the view would show it.
If you are not using presentation variables then
use those A and B columns in the report
and call them in Narrative view using their positions like @1@2
where 1 the position of A from left in criteria
