Navigation to a report

Hi
We have a requirement as follows :
There is a column say "No of Employees" in a report. Now if a user clicks on any value under this column it should navigate to a report displaying the
respective Employee names .
For example If a user clicked a value say "2" under the column "No of Employees" it should navigate to the report displaying their names say "X'"
and "Y".Thsese names can vary ie., if a user clicks on the value "2" on other row, then the names can differ.
We used the navigate option to navigate to a report containing all the employee names .But we want the navigated report to conmtain only the respective
employee names instead of all emplyee names.
Providing pointers or procedure to achieve the above requirement will be very helpful and highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
It is a well descriptive link . In this link navigation report is created on customer id (It will always have a single value).
But as mentioned earlier, our requirement is as follows :
Say there is a column "No of Students", If a user clicks a vlaue "2" under this column(No of Students) in a particular row it should navigate to the report, say "Student Details" containing the respective details of only those two students say "Jack" and "Jill" .
Similarily if a user clicks on the value "100" under this column(No of Students) in a particular row, it should navigate to the same report as above ie.,"Student Details" containing the respective details of all the 100 students .
When we followed the procedure as mentioned in the above link ie., "http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/olap_operation" .
The issue we are encountering is : "Irrespective of the value selected under the column " No of Students", it is always getting navigated to the report containing all the students details(the student details are not getting restricted based on the value selected under the column "No of Students").
Plesae let us know, whether there is any other workaround to achieve the above mentioned requirement .
Thanks

  • Problem in navigating from one report to another in OBIEE 10g

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with OBIEE 10g while applying navigation on my reports.
    Lets suppose I made a report showing list of all items(in broad categories) sold on a particular day, say Dairy, Frozen Foods, Chocolates etc.In this report there is a date prompt showing the date of sale.
    Now there are certain items that are distributed within these categories, like dairy includes milk, cheese, butter etc.
    Hence, my navigation should be like when I click on a particular item category, the control should move on to the report which has all items under that particular category and the prompt for this report should show the same date as passed in the previous report.
    But sometimes what happens is that on clicking the navigation from first report to the second one, the date is not persisting in the prompt. I say sometimes because at times the navigation does work correctly. This is a bug of Obiee or something which is giving unexpected results.
    Kindly help with your suggestions.
    Thanks
    Ankita

    Ankita,
    This is not a bug in OBIEE...I'm sure something is missing. If this is working for some cases and not working for some other case then you will need to find the root cause. Try in bits and pieces...Step by Step with some dates (unit testing). Ideally this shud work properly.
    For an instance try with OBIEE drilldown feature and not with navigation with a single sale date and observe the behavior.
    Hope its clear...

  • How to identify display and navigational attributes in report?

    To all of thanks to be in SDN, plz send tue clarifications.....?
    Q. How to identify display and navigational attributes in report?  is there any naming convension differences for both of them?

    This works fine for "powerusers", but for informational users you have to create your own naming conventions for all navigational attributes which are not unique. For example 0COUNTRY may be a navigational attribute of 0CUSTOMER, OSOLD-TO, 0SHIP-TO, 0BILLTOPRTY, 0PAYER. To make the text clear for your users in reports name it CS Country, SO Country, SH Country, BT country, ... as 0COUNTRY could also be a characteristic from the document.
    This means quiet some work especially if you have a multilingual installation, but the information users will be very thankful.
    hope this helps

  • Filter condition not working when Navigating from Main report to detail

    Hello,
    I have one report in OBIEE 10.3.4. Below is the filter condition used in Main report:-
    (Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in BMS OTHER C
    AND Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to / is in S&FO )
    OR Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in MKTG
    Also in my detail report I am using the same filter conditions:-
    (Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in BMS OTHER C
    AND Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to / is in S&FO)
    OR Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in MKTG
    Now when I am navigating from Main report to Detail report, then this filter condition is getting overridden by below condition:-
    Customer Secondary Organization is equal to MKTG
    and Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to S&FO
    or Customer Secondary Organization is equal to MKTG
    What I noticed is If I rearrange the filters and make it as below:-
    (Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in MKTG
    AND Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to / is in S&FO)
    OR Customer Secondary Organization is equal to / is in BMS OTHER C
    Then I am getting the filter in detail report as:-
    Customer Secondary Organization is equal to BMS OTHER C
    and Customer Tertiary Organization is equal to S&FO
    or Customer Secondary Organization is equal to BMS OTHER C
    It is taking Secondary Organization which is 2nd one in the main report.
    Can anyone please help me on this.
    Thank You,
    Shivam Saxena

    Hi,
    What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
    Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to see Navigation attribute in Report

    Hi ,
      I am working on BI7.0.
      In my Query , material is a characteristic which has 3-4 Navigation attributes. But when I execute the report , I can only see Material data displayed (because only material is in the rows). I also want to see data of its attributes in report results. I dont have authorisation to change the query.
    Also I am unable to open the Query in Local view (some connectivity issues).
    Can you please suggest How I can drill-down those attributes.??
    Also these attributes are not visible in free characteristics.
    Thanks,
    Su

    Hi there,
    To use the navegational attributes with drill down, they have to be available in either rows, columns or free characterisitic.
    For that you have to edit the query. There's no other way.
    But each navegational attribute is also a display attribute.
    Therefore, you can after executing the query, right-click over material and select properties. You'll see a tab named attributes where you can add the avilable attributes to the left (so they will be displayed), and change the settings of each one of them (see only key, key and text, etc.), but you can't filter by any of those attributes, or do any drill down options over them. They are only display attributes.
    Hope this helps.

  • # values for navigational attributes in report . (Urgent)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a navigational attributes for time dependent master data. In the report I am not able to see values for that navigational attribute. I see # values for the navigational attributes. I checked the master data of main info-object. every thing looks fine.
    please help me in regarding this.
    thanks,
    Regards,
    Aarthi

    Check the following two things again just to make sure you are doing everything right. These are already mentioned by Bhanu...
    1) Go to the master data table (Q  table or the M table) and check to see if there are M version records (OBJVERS = M). If yes, you need to activate the master data using the program RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN (Change Run). If there are no M version records then check the second step
    2) If you do not enter any key date in the query, it takes the system date as the default key date. So check and see if any master data exists for today's date ?
    Also just curious, which version and support pack level are you on ?

    Any way i pointed out to say, what was the reason to re assign the points to you.
    If your answer was more informative then the other perosn, i would surely assigned more point to you.

  • Navigational Attribute in Reporting

    Hi experts,
    Suppose I have created one attribute as navigational attribute in my infoobject characteristic.This Characteristic is in Infocube.
    Now after executing query on this infocube,Can I drilldown from thic characteristic to Navigational attribute to analyse my results more?To achieve this,is it necessary to Switch On my navigational attribute in Infocube?or Can I achieve this even without switching navigational attribute in my infocube?
    rgds,
    P Olin

    Hi experts,
    Thanks for your replies.
    Suppose if I donot want to create Navigational Attribute,how can I do technically,so I can drilldown to this characteristic from my original characteristic infoobject in the report to see more analysis...
    I am thinkiing of creating hierarchy manually from top to bottom by creating one characteristic and adding it as 'external characteristic' in hierarchy tab of my infoobject characteristic which has this hierarchy..Is this an option?Can I still drilldown and see detailed analysis in my reports?
    Thanks for your replies.

  • Using Bins & Navigating to other reports

    Hi all - I have a report that is a high level report and it uses bins to group branches into regions. I want users to be able to click on one of those bins (regions) and drill down to a more detailed report that lists out the branches included in that particular bin.
    I have tried using the navigation option in column format to drill down to my 2nd report. On my 2nd report, I have the branch # set to prompted. However, it seems the bins on the first report are preventing this from working. The 2nd report is not filtered at all - instead it shows all branches regardless of region.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Lacey

    Hi !
    I think you have to copy the formula of the bin in your first report, paste it in a column of your second report, put a filter on it (is prompted) and remove the column.
    The filter passed by the first report is something like "CASE WHEN....END" = the value the user has clicked on.
    That's why you must have "CASE WHEN....END" is prompted in your filters of the 2nd report.
    Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

  • Navigating to multiple reports from stacked bar chart

    Hi,
    I have a stacked bar chart which consist of two fact's A & B. Now i want to navigate to report 1 when i click portion of stacked bar that is created by fact A and i want to navigate to report 2 when i click portion of stacked bar that is created by fact B. How can i achieve it in OBIEE?
    The other solution can be that when i click either portion of stacked bar i navigate to a same report but in that report i have defined filters to filter out results to show data like report 1 when A portion is clicked and to show data like report 2 when B portion is clicked. But what filter should i use in this case and what will be the filter values?
    Thanks.
    Aasim Khan

    The second option worked for me. I am navigating to a same report but i am using a filter to filter out un-required data.
    1. I created a new column in RPD at logical level and set its value that whether this row is for fact A or B.
    2.Then in the chart i check the column against the third column of check boxes where we select fields against we want to create the graph.
    3. In the interaction tab i selected the report to which i want to navigate.
    4. Then in the report in included this newly created column and apply "is prompted" filter. Now when i clicked fact A of stack bar i only saw data against fact A and when i clicked fact B it only shows data for fact B.
    Thanks.

  • Reg: Display of Navigational attribute in report

    Hi All,
    I have a report built on the multiprovider which contains two cubes say CUBE1 and CUBE2.
    I can see two rows in the report; each row corresponds to these cubes.
    I have customer field and a country field in the report. Country field is maintained in the master data of the customer and is a navigation attribute in the report.
    I can see the Customer filed in the report output but the country field is not showing any value.
    Country field in the customer master data.
    Please provide your inputs, why I am not getting the values in country field.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Check the following.
    1. Check if the data is available for country field in the customer master data.
    2. Open cube 1 and check in the navigational fields, Contry is marked or not. If you want to use it in the report, Country field which is in a customer master data, should be marked.
    3. Same way check in cube 2.
    4. Open your multi provider, mark this navigational attribute if it is not marked, and assign it to the cube by right click-> identify.
    if the data is avaialble in the master data, your problem will be solved.
