Printing entire Dashboard from BI 7.0

Hi, I'm developing a custom dashboard that uses HTML DIV's and Java Script.  I know the users are going to want to print out the entire Dashboard and have the output look as it does on the screen.  The dashboard is optimized for 1280X1024 so I am imagining that the output would have to be scaled to fit onto letter or even legal.
   Does anyone have any design guidlines on how to make the printout look like the actual dashboard screen?  All of the BW and custom HTML elements would have to show.  Do I have to do anything special?  Embed everything into a group or anything like that?
Thanks, Ken Murray

PDF within BI 7.0 does not maintain the layout while printing dashboards.
One option is to use Export to Excel function to download to Excel and use Excel formatting and print the dashboard.
Another option is to use standard browser print functions, you can use a print specific CSS file for doing this.

  • Not able to print xcelsius dashboards from pdf files.

    FYI. In case this has you stumped on how to print your dashboards from Adobe pdf you are not alone.You may have noticed that it is not possible to print your dashboards from Adobe pdf documents.  It is not possible to actually print any active embedded flash document from an Adobe pdf document and this behaviour is by design. You can however print your dashboards if they are exported to other formats such as such as MS Word or MS Excel.  Xcelsius 2008 does include a 'Print' button which you can add to your dashboards to allow your users to print them.

  • Can you print entire dashboard into excel

    I'm trying to see in i can print/send my entire dashboard to excel, if so how do i set it up to have the download link at the bottom?

    I want to say no you can't. I'm trying to imagine what you are trying to do which is to have one button that will nicely download multiple reports from a dashboard page into Excel, only downloading the reports, and nothing else. Well, that can't be done out-of-the-box and you definitely can't change the "download" link to do this.
    Now, having said that, I'll give you several ways you can do this. None are pretty though.
    1) Click anywhere in your dashboard and press CNTRL-A, then CNTRL-C. This will highlight the whole dashboard and copy it to the clipboard. You can then paste it in Excel.
    2) Click on the Print>HTML. When the page renders, save it as MHTML. Then open the file in Excel. Save it as an Excel file.
    3) Third Way
    a) Open the dashboard to the page you wish to "copy."
    b) Highlight the address you see in the address bar and copy it to the clipboard.
    c) Now open up Excel and click on the "Get External Data from Web" button. (I am using Excel 2007 for this example and you can find this command by searching through the commands.)
    d) Paste the URL in the window that appears. Scroll to the end and add &Format=Excel.
    e) Click the "Go" button. The OBI login window will appear.
    f) Log in to OBI in the usual manner.
    g) The dashboard page will appear in the window along with many yellow arrows, each referring to an element on the page. Select the yellow arrow corresponding to the dashboard page itself.
    h) Click the "Import" button. The dashboard page will import into Excel.

  • Envy 4500 not printing entire page from iPad

    We recently set up a new Envy 4500 for wireless printing only - there is no computer connected to it.  Set up went fine and the iPad found the printer easily.  I did not install anything on the iPad to make it find the printer.  It prints well but is not printing the heading at the top 1/4 of the page from a PDF.  Any ideas?

    Hello SMG17,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that the ENVY 4500 was setup fine for printing from an iPad, however, the top 1/4 of the page is not printing. Nothing is needed to install on the iPad to allow this printer to print, with that said, you can install Apps that can give you more printing options.
    Try first, updating the printer and the iPad.
    HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Have you tried printing from different applications, for example, Notes on the iPad? To see if this is an issues with the AirPrint driver, the printer or the file, open Notes and type a couple words, hit the Share button and send the print.
    Let me know about the updates and if Notes print fine.

  • OBIEE 11g: Export to entire dashboard issue

    HI,
    My dashboard contains four pages and each page contains one report.
    if I export to entire dashboard then am getting first 25 rows from each report only.
    How to get all rows from each report.
    Note: Each report contains around 2000 rows. That's why I didn't put display all rows by default.
    Regards,
    Srinivas.

    Hi,
    Edit the each dashboard and check Print properties.
    1. Edit the Dashboard
    2. In Tools select 'Print Options' i.e down to 'Dashboard Properties' option
    3. select Print Rows 'All' instead of 'Visible'
    4. Now save and export the dashboard.
    Now you will be able to export all the data from the dashboard report.
    Hope it helps,
    Bose

  • Printing a selection from a document using HP E Print

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to print a selection from a document using e-Print? I currently can emailt he entire document to my printer however that is it.

    Hi dayanks101,
    Thank you for being a member of the HP Support Community. I see that you would like to learn how to choose which pages print from a multi-page document.
    Since you have the document in an email already it’s fairly easy to choose which pages you would like to print if you are using the HP ePrint app. I’m presuming that you have already download the HP ePrint mobile app to your iPad and added your email account to the app.
    Please follow these steps after you have opened the HP ePrint app
    Choose the email with the document you need to print.
    Please choose the document you want to print (for my screen shot the file is titled “scan 2014_05_29 08-55-01.pdf). This will load the document with the available print options.
    Please tap on “Page Range”. It will give you the options of ‘Single’ or ‘Multiple’.
    If you are choosing to print just one page please choose ‘Single’ and then choose the page you would like to print.
    If you are choosing to print a range of pages please choose ‘Multiple’ and then choose the page range you would like to print.
    I hope this helps you print just want you need.

  • Error while trying to access dashboards from EPM

    Hi
    We integrated OBIEE 10.1.3.4 with EPM 11.2 and when we are trying to access dashboards from EPM we are facing the following error : "Invalid or could not find module configuration."
    Please , help us in solving the above issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    The above mentioned solution is a good idea but in this context not appropriate as it aims at resolving an issue in the delivered Content Version of 0TCT_VC11.
    In your case, you already have 0TCT_VC11 activated and you can not read any data from this VirtualProvider in queries. Right?
    In that case, you have to:
    1. Check that the entire data flow is active for the InfoProvider (activation should occur for the MYSELF source system): 0TCT_VC11 with InfoSource 0TCT_IS11 with DataSource 0TCT_DS11
    2. Activate the direct access for the VirtualProvider (Context menu of 0TCT_VC_11 > Activate Direct Access > Source Syst. for InfoSource3.x > Mark the column with the MYSELF source system and Save).
    This corresponds to Installation "Step 5.) Activate direct access for virtual providers" that is mentioned in SAP Note 934848 "Collective note: (FAQ) BI Administration Cockpit".

  • Problems when printing help topics from OHJ

    We have encountered some persistent problems when printing help topics from Oracle Help for Java (Ice Browser).
    NOTE: When we print the same source files from Oracle Help for the Web, the printing problems are gone.
    (1) Spacing Errors (all printers had identical results)
    Text with special formatting (<b>, <i>) often has either too much space or not enough space.
    Links often have extra spaces underlined before or after the link, itself.
    (2) When printing multiple help topics from the TOC (an entire branch in the tree):
    On some printers, no graphics print correctly, but instead print as one of the following: 1. empty box the size of one character, 2. black box the size of one character, 3. black box the size of the original graphic. We could not detect a pattern that caused 1, 2, or 3.
    NOTE: all graphics are bit maps (screen captures) that were generated in the same manner.
    NOTE: if these same help topics are printed one at a time form Oracle Help for Java, the graphics print fine.
    Is this a problem with the Ice Browser?
    Thanks for the help,
    Wendy Studinski

    There are a known issue with the ICEBrowser printing in some circumstances. The laying out of text by the ICE Browser relies on font metrics (being able to measure the width of a run of text in a given font). On screen it looks great, but when printing, even though the GraphicsConfiguration for the printer is being used, these widths are sometimes off, which can result in text running together at boundaries between text styles. We're not sure what to do about this problem, and we've reported it to IceSoft.
    Not every font has this problem, so varying the font you are using might help the appearance when printed.
    The other problem you report, problems with the images when printing multiple topics, is something that we will look into.

  • Print entire Keychain in Mountain Lion?

    I'm trying to print my entire keychain from mountain lion. Here's what I've tried already.
    - I started out at this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1343386
    - Then I found out that the Keychain Scripting.app isn't available in ML.
    - I downloaded Usable Keychain Scripting.app from here: http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/2035/usable-keychain-scripting-for-lion
    - Now I'm getting an error when I try to run it: Syntax error: Expected class name but found constant (or something, my system is in dutch so it's a bit hard to translate). The error relates to the statement "Internet" on the line: "set KeyList to every Internet key of current keychain".
    I'm not very fluent in applescript. Has anyone any ideas?
    Regards,
    Fabian
    The script:
    set osXKeychainScriptingPath to (path to scripting additions from system domain as Unicode text) & "Usable Keychain Scripting.app:"
    set theSecuridPIN to {}
    tell application "Usable Keychain Scripting" to launch
    tell application "Keychain Access" to launch
    using terms from application "Usable Keychain Scripting"
              tell application osXKeychainScriptingPath
                        set KeyList to every Internet key of current keychain
                        repeat with aKey in KeyList
                                  set theSecuridPIN to theSecuridPIN & ((name of aKey) & tab & (account of aKey) & tab & (password of aKey) & return) as text
                        end repeat
              end tell
    end using terms from
    tell application "Usable Keychain Scripting" to quit
    tell application "Keychain Access" to quit
    tell application "Finder"
              open for access file (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "Passwords") with write permission
                        set theFile to result
                        write theSecuridPIN to theFile
              close access theFile
    end tell

    FWIW, this revised script works in SL through Mavericks, but requires the Usable Keychain Scripting.app vers 1.0b4 reside in /System/Library/ScriptingAdditons/.
    set osXKeychainScriptingPath to ¬
      (path to scripting additions from system domain as Unicode text) ¬
      & "Usable Keychain Scripting.app:" -- one liner

  • Downloading entire Dashboard page

    Hello Guys,
    I have a dashboard page with about 6 reports and I need to download the entire dashboard page. I know to report links for individual reports but I want to know if there is a way to download the entire dashboard page at once (into one excel sheet)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know what you're envisioning when you say you want to download an entire dashboard page into Excel, but consider that a dashboard has many elements outside of just the "6 reports" you mentioned. Also, are the reports just tables or are there charts and conditional formatting (e.g., green, red, yellow balls, etc.)? Any of these features would make the download look ugly regardless of how you do it, but if you insist, here are a couple of options:
    Option 1
    1) Click on the dashboard print icon and select HTML.
    2) Save the file in .mht format.
    3) Open up Excel and navigate to the file.
    4) Select the file.
    Option 2
    1) Click anywhere in the dashboard and click CNTRL-A and then CNTRL-C
    2) Open Excel and paste.
    These are two ways you can have the whole dashboard in Excel.

  • Trouble printing a dashboard

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to print a dashboard and the trouble is that if the dashboard has, say 6 rows, when I print (or just preview), it will only show the first two rows of portlets.  It seems that it is making use of the browser's print capability, not P6's own print setup options.  By going into page setup, and zooming out to 50%, I was able to get a printout that wasn't cut off at the sides, but still only shows the first two rows of portlets, not all 6 rows.  Normally I would think this is just they way it works and it is limited here, but (and maybe I'm crazy) I thought a previous version (like back in version 5 or 6) you could print the entire dashboard.  Any comments would be helpful.  Anyone know of any workarounds?  Is this still the case in EPPM Rel 8.3 sp1?  Thanks! 

    I posted a similar question back in October and no replys. I've found some success by using the "Convert To PDF" feature on the Internet Explorer Adobe Create Toolbar.

  • Print Entire Website via a Button (k)

    We just received a strange request from a client. They want a
    button on
    their website that when the user hits it, will print every
    page in the
    website.
    The only way I could see accomplishing this is to make pdfs
    of the
    individual pages and then combine them into one big honking
    PDF that the
    user prints.
    Is there such a thing as a "Print Entire Website" command? I
    know that
    there are apps that print a whole website, but we want
    something that
    the web user can just click.

  • Every time that I try to print a page from the internet, my Mac crashes and I get a "Crash Reporter" icon.  Any suggestions?

    Every time that I try to print a page from the internet, My Mac (Maverick 10.9.4) crashes and I see a "Crash Reporter" icon.  Any suggestions?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
