Prompting issues on dashboard pages

I have a 3 page dashboard that conform to a form of hierarchy
-- Page one summarises the highest level of date by month (based on a dashboard prompt)
-- Page two shows the middle level of data based on a prompt from Page one
-- Page three shows the lowest level of data based on a prompt from Page two
For example:
Page 1 shows Car sales by Maker (Ford, Chrysler VW etc), clicking on one of these will take you to Page 2 which shows the sales per Model (Focus, Fusion, Taurus etc) and clicking on one of these will take you to Page 3 which shows the sales by Package (S, SE, SES, SEL etc).
This all seems to work fine, the date selected on Page 1 is passed to the other pages. The problem arises when I go back to Page 1 after drilling-down to either Page 2 or 3. Returning to Page 1 after this means that the chart & table there only shows data for the Maker for the Model and Package selected on Pages 2 & 3.
The only prompted field on Page 1 is the "month" field that takes its prompt from the dashboard prompt, I can't see why this is picking up selections from the drill-down & not just returning the full data set. Can anyone help?

Hmmm, further Googling suggests it may be an issue with Dashboard Page State Persistence in config.xml. Has anyone else come across this?

Hi John
They're column based & each page has a seperate report. I hadn't protected the filters on the top level report - I have now & that seems to have sorted it.
Thank you, that was really bugging me. We're still in UAT & all these little niggles that aren't in the manuials are cropping up.

Filter Page Prompts based on Dashboard Prompts Presentation Var

Hey, No one has faced this issue? Can I get some inputs please?
Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to filter the multi-select values in the page prompt, based on the presentation variable that is set by dashboard prompt. Oracle said that its a bug,
that once a presentation variable is set, we can't use that in SQL, when using multi select. But, I am wondering if anyone has some work around solution for this?
TO be more clear, here is the explanation.
I have a dashboard prompt that is selected initially in a page, which sets a presentation variable. Now, in another page, I want to use a multi-select prompt, which take the SQl values that filters based on the presentation variable set initially. But, this is not working. I am not able to filter values when I use the SQl like, "select .. from ..where var = presentation_var."
If anyone has any workarounds, thats appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry, no such functionality, at least not yet.
Build two dashboards, one for the business users and one for the technical users. Then build a third "cover page" dashboard with two links using the Link or Image object. One link will say "Business Users" the other "Technical Users" and the links will take them to their own dashboard with just the prompts that concern them.
If you want to bypass the "cover page" idea, you can use Portal Path to direct all business users to the "business" dashboard and the technical staff to the "technical" dashboard based on their login.

Dyanmic Prompt Selection in dashboard

Hi experts,
We are using 10G.
We have one prompt country contains data USA,UK,IND etc.
When I select USA, my dashboard should contain USA prompt(4 Prompts)
When I select UK, my dashboard should contain UK prompt(8 Prompts)
So how to impliment this in OBIEE.
Thanks,

Here is a solution even simpler to implement than Bharath's:
1) Put the US prompts and reports on one dashboard page and hide it.
2) Put the UK prompts and reports on another dashboard page and hide it.
3) Create a "main" dashboard page with two guided navigation links names "US" and "UK." Have each link point to the respective hidden dashboard page.
4) Repeats above steps for each region...
This method doesn't require the creation of another prompt or the introduction of a dummy column in the reports. The main dashboard page serves like a "table of contents" page that the user can click on and be taken to whatever dashboard page is appropriate. It is very simple to implement, extremely versatile and expandable as your needs grow.

Prompts issue in Dashboard

Hi All
I need your advice immediately.
We want to add two prompts in dashboard and both the prompts is of the same column.
ie : Freeze Period , i am not able to add this prompt for the 2nd time , is there a way i can add it for the 2nd time?
Please suggest me asap.

Hi Mano,
This is how I did at my work place....instead of creating logical column in RPD and all the way through the process....
IF you want to drag the same column as 2 prompts...within the prompts page you can do like this.....
First Add the column (in mycase which is number data type) and lable the lable1, then drag any other column that is also the same data type and put the name as LAble2 and copy the formula expression from label1 (ie..table.columnname) to Lable2 forula expression...
Basically you are using the same column with different names..thats it...I hope this helps and this is what you are looking for...
Let me know if i understood wrong...

Clear the Prompt values in dashboard page

Hi Experts,
In our Dashboard page has 5 different table view report with Prompt option for each reports and clear filters option, when I click the any clear filter option it affect all the (5) prompts.
But I want to clear for each prompts separately, is it possible means pls tell me how to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance
Balaa...

In implementing Clear button functionality, I think your using PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection (provided with samplesales).
This logic is similar to Clear Selections in Page Options. So, upon clicking this (both) it will refresh total page.
As far as I know, it can be implemented if we can able to identify section id. (too advanced).
You can get more information about the BI inbuilt methods defined in Java Script file.
Path: *{BIInstallDir}\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res\b_mozilla\dashboards\personalize.js*
Note: Careful if your trying to make any changes. Better to have a backup of it.

Prompt Preview and Dashboard prompt Date Format.

Hi,
When seen in its preview, a Dashboard prompt based on Date data type is shown using format 'mm/dd/yyyy' which is the expected format. However, when seen on a dashboard page, the prompt's format becomes 'yyyy/mm/dd'.
Does anyone have idea how to fix this or what could be the reason?
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Manoj.

In the prompt window there was a little clock icon symbol. I first had to go to the BI admiistration in the physical and change (the specific column/field) from a timestamp to date. We also needed to a default date to be applied to our application so I created a global variable and made it a string so that it would appear in the application in the format like you stated in your thread: Select to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yyyy') from dual. But overall I think the real trick was changing the physical from a timestamp to date.

PROMPT ON MOBILE DASHBOARD IS POSSIBLE ?

Dear Expert,
I have prompt on my webi report and I am creating mobile dashboard on that.
The mobile dashboard support Prompt.
If yes then please let me know the procedure.
Regards,
Divyesh Patel.
(9930578182)

Hi Divyesh,
There is no specific procedure for dashbord with prompt on mobile.
Create Dashboard as we normally do and make sure to use the mobile supported components and connections.
Check the mobile compatibilty tab for components that you have used but are not supported.
And check the dat manager for connections. Ones marked with * are supported.
Save the dashboard to platform for desktop and mobile.

Prompts issue in Dashboards

Hi All
We have an issue in Dashboards.
We have five dashboards for Project Accounting module.
For all the five dashboards we have five different prompts. For couple of prompts we have selected default values and this varies from one dashboard prompt to the other.
Now the issue is , when the user navigates from one dashboard to the other , assuming from 1st to 2nd , the 2nd dashboard prompt is taking the 1st dashboard prompt values as default even though that is not what we have selected as default value. Why is this happening?
Ex: Freeze Month is the dashboard prompt and we have two values "20-FEB-2012" , "15-MAR-2012" as values.
1) For 1st dashboard both the values has been selected as default values for the user.
2) For 2nd dashboard only "15-MAR-2012" has been set as default value.
However when user navigates to the 2nd dashboard , the 1st dashboard values are appearing as default which shouldnt happen.
Hope my explanation is clear , can somebody help me on this.

Try to duplicate the filter columns(at rpd) for each dashboard and see. In that case the values will not be passed from one dashboard to another. for eg. Freeze Month_Dash1, Freeze_Month_Dash2, etc.

Prompt scope between dashboards

I have several dashboards with the same prompt.
User have to re-select his prompt filters each time he move between the dashboards, since the prompt can be only in the scope of certain dashboard.
How can make it in the scope of all my dashboards?
I considered using presentation\session variable to save the selection and then in the request criteria ask 'is equals to' variable instead of 'is promt'.
The problem s that I have multi selection prompts.
Any ideas?

Hi,
No, if it is a multi-select prompt, you can not re-use the inputs across multiple dashboards. But my question is, if the prompt is same that means it is coming from the same subject area. Thus the reports where the column is prompted also comes from the same Subject Area. Then why can't we have those different dashboards converted as dashboard pages under the same dashboard. I understand there might be access restrictions, but you can control access at Dashboard Page level also.
Please let me know if this workaround works.
Thanks,
Nabhanil

Sharing a date-prompted report between dashboards and ibots

I have a report that has a single filter which is an "is prompted" date filter. I use it in conjunction with a calendar dashboard prompt when displaying the reports on a dashboard, and the dashboard prompt has a default value that references a repository variable called "yesterday", which is a datetime datatype. Well, I want to schedule this report to be executed and emailed by an ibot, and the ibot execution of the report should always be for "yesterday". Furthermore, whatever solution I come up with to accomplish this, it must be able to be reapplied to report after report after report by much less technical BI end users than myself. So I'm thinking that if I can create a saved filter, no matter how complex to create, that can be easily added to all such reports by the end users, that would seem to be ideal.
i've tried to exhaustively go down a road of effecting a logical NVL() in an "Advanced SQL Filter" of the report using syntax along the lines of this, but I can't quite get it working. This is the closest I came to getting it to work:
"Dates and Times"."Transaction Date" = @{VALUEOF("TransactionDate")}{VALUEOF("yesterday")}
In the above example, "TransactionDate" is a presentation variable set by the dashboard prompt, and "Dates and Times"."Transaction Date" is a DATE datatype in the repository. Anyway, the above generates no error in either the dashboard with a prompt, nor in the "Results" tab of the Answers report-writing webpage (which I'd imagine simulates an iBot since the dashboard prompt is missing). However in both cases, "yesterday" is unconditionally used, and the "TransactionDate" presentation variable is ignored. In other words, everything works fine, except that when I select different values from the dashboard prompt, yesterday's data is still displayed. Argh!
I've seen a lot of threads & blogs online that seem close to this problem, but no cigar in the long run. any and all suggestions are so welcome. I'm ready to tear my hair out... :)
-Jim

Okay, let's see if I understand this correctly. You want to use a report in an iBot and for this you want the Transaction Date to always be for "yesterday." You also want this report in a dashboard and you want the default to be "yesterday" but you want the users to be able to override this by selecting another date from the dashboard prompt. If yes, then proceed; else explain again.
First, you need to create a repository variable (not a presentation variable!) in the rpd called "yesterday."
In the dashboard prompt, for the Default Value, click on "Server Variable," click on the ellipsis and type "yesterday." This will default the dashboard prompt to "yesterday." Use the "drop down" type and save this to the presentation variable pvTransDate.
You will need to build two reports, one for your iBot and one for your dashboard.
For the iBot report, click on the Transaction Date column filter button and, after converting the filter to SQL, type this:
"Dates and Times"."Transaction Date" = TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,-1, SYSTDATE).
Schedule your iBot and you report will always be for "yesterday."
For the dashboard report, make a copy of the report above. For this report, you will need to add the PV piece and delete the TIMESTAMPADD filter.
Click on the Transaction Date column filter button, click on Add>Variable>Presentation, and type pvTransDate.
When the report is viewed in the dashboard, the report will initially be filtered by the "yesterday" repository variable. When the user selects a value from the dashboard prompt, it will filter the report for that.
