Narrative View - printing

Hi,
I've created a Narrative View of opportunity details in reports, but when I print the report to either html or pdf, the formatting is gone. For example, the html formatting (shading of a column) do not show up in the html print view. When I try to print to PDF, it is even worse. The text is practically microscopic, and packed all on one row.
Any suggestions or insight?
Thank you,
Jo Ann

The Printer Friendly > PDF never did work for any reports with HTML in a narrative section so that's automatically out.
As for the Printer Friendly > HTML I've never run accross that and I'm made many narrative/HTML reports.
What editor are you using to create the HTML or is it hand coded?
Maybe you're missing some tags that is wants for the Printer Friendly > HTML view.
Sometimes I even use MS Word to do the formatting and then save as a 'Web Page Filtered' and then paste the HTML into the narrative section and I've never had a problem with that method either.

  • Hide the Narrative View in 11g

    Hi,
    I have a requriment where users want to hide the filter view on the report and should be able to see only when they download or print the report.I don't find option to hide on the Default Filter View (i.e. in CSS properties DISPLAY:NONE).Instead I am trying if it is possible in Narrative View to call the Column @1 and hide it in report and show only when they download the report.
    Any ideas?Really appreciate your help
    Thanks

    I got it to hide the narrative text and display only when downloaded.
    div style=display:none@1/div. But can we do it on Filter View?

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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.

    Hi
    Common issues for this :
    1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
    Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
    Try then running the report .
    If not the case ,
    make sure you install runtime .
    You need :
    1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
    2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
    3.Make sure you have runtime install
    When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s

  • List View Printing Problem

    Greetings,
    I'm using iCal 2.0.3 on OS X 10.4.3.
    I'm having two problems making a "List View" print look correct.
    Problem #1: I have a To Do item that was due several days ago. It shows up in the main iCal To Do pane with an attention icon next to it (showing past due). However, when I print and choose "List view", to do items that are past due do not show up. How can I make them show in the printout?
    Problem #2: When I print a "List view" for today's date, there are a small handful of to do items that were marked complete over one months ago that show up on the print out. Why? How can I make these go away?
    Many thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
      Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I have exactly the same problems John has: it seems iCal prints data in an absolutely unpredictable way. I dropped Now Up-to-Date and Entourage, and I wouldn't like to go back to them. This looks like a widespread complaint about Mac OS X and Apple should do something about it ASAP

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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.

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

  • 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.

    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.
