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... :)

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.

Column Passing between dashboard pages using Column Format- Navigation

I've been put in a tough spot due to an error in BI Publisher which I can't seem to fix and won't be discussing in this post, thus I'm trying to find an OBIEE work around that adheres to the client's heuristics requirements. So OBIEE dev's more experienced than I, lend me your wisdom.
I have a logical layout with two descriptive dimensions, a time dimension and a singular fact table. An explanation of the dashboard pages, their requests, prompts and other objects is below:
Dim 1
- Dim1 Key
- Dim 1 Descr
Dim 2
- Dim 2 Key
- Dim 2 Descr
Dim Date
- Typical Date blah blah
Fact
- Measure 1 (Count of Dim 2 Key)
Dashboard Page 1
- Prompt 1
- Request 1
Request 1
- Columns
     - Dim 1 Descr
     - Measure 1
     - Dim 1 Key (Hidden)
- Filters
- Dim 1 Key is Prompted
- Dim Date is Prompted
- Formatting
     - Dim 1 Descr navigates to Dashboard Page 2
Prompt 1
- Dim Date.Date is Between
Dashboard Page 2
- Prompt 2
- BI Pub Report 1
BI Pub Report 1
- Parameter
     - p_key (takes in Dim 1 Key)
Prompt 2
- Dim 1 Descr is Equal
- Dim 1 Key is Equal - populates presentation var: p_key
So the functionality I'm expecting is that the user starts on Dashboard Page 1 selects a date range from Prompt 1. Selects a row and navigates to Dashboard Page 2 by clicking on a Dim 1 Descr 1 value, which in turn passes the Dim 1 Descr value and the Dim 1 Key value (which is hidden) to Dashboard Page 2.
On Dashboard Page 2, Prompt 2's Dim 1 Descr and Dim 1 Key become the values passed from Dashboard Page 1 and p_key is populated with the value which Prompt 2 Dim 1 Key becomes. Lastly BI Pub Report 1 gets p_key from OBIEE, and runs displaying what it’s supposed to.
Currently everything works, except the passing of Dim 1 Key from Dashboard Page 1 to Dashboard Page 2. The question is, firstly, is it possible to pass Dim 1 Key without it being visible on Request 1 or without using Dim 1 Key as the point of navigation to Dashboard Page 2. If so, what of my above mentioned setup is incorrect? My guess is that I need Dim 1 Key in Prompt 1, but the client is adamant that I leave Prompt 1 alone, so any other options would be great.
I also know that the above is possible with GoUrl or PortalPath but since on the actual request there are multiple Navigation Target options, I'd like to avoid having to resort to GoUrl or PortalPath, but if this is the only method, how can multiple options be given using GoUrl or PortalPath?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Karthick,
Thanks for the updated info. I tried what you suggested and unfortunately still no value passed. It seems hidden via OBIEE format options, hidden via CSS or unhidden the value is only passed if the navigation is set up on that particular field. So if I have two fields in the report and I want to click on Field 1 and pass Field 2, Field 2 will not be passed. I am going to try this on a up to date environment and see if it works, since the client is using a slightly outdated version of OBIEE.
Thanks for the suggestions so far,
Matt

Can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page/

Hi All, I have a doubt about prompts.can we hide a prompt in a dashboard page without hide a section. Thanks, Hari.

If I'm not wrong I dont think so, check this for possible options http://intelligentinsight.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/obiee-11g-hidden-prompts-and-hiding-prompts/
I think we may do it using JavaScript or CSS.

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.

How to create 'NOT in between' dashboard prompt on a column

Hello Guys,
I have a simple request where the dashboard prompt has to send in data for 'NOT in between'. OBIEE does not give this option by default..
Any one who tried this .. can you please help with some pointers on this.
Column1 less than 100 or greater than 2000 --> This condition has to be sent from the dashboard. So my option in SQL is to use NOT in between 100 and 2000.
Thanks in advance
Kris

Hi kris,
in the prompts you will have not between condition check out....if not write a SQL like this for the prompt
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name not between 100 and 2000*
(OR)
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name >= 100 AND column_name<= 2000*
you want values in that range then the SQL should be
SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name between 100 and 2000*
check this article
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables
UPDATED POST
in place of constant values play with your session variables or Presentation variables by writing this above SQL according to your requirment and you would get your solution.Give a try then comment is it working or not.
Hope answers your question.
Cheers,
KK

Prompt settings being passed between Dashboard Pages - Can this be stopped?

I have a dashboard with 4 pages. Pages 1 and 2 share the exact same prompt, page 3 has its own prompt but within that prompt it has a field that is common with the prompt on pages 1 and 2. Page 4 has its own prompt as well with some fields that are common to the prompts on pages 1 - 3.
All prompts are included in their own section on the dashboard pages. All prompts have scope set to 'Page' in their settings.
If I go to page 1 and enter some values into the prompt and then run the report everything looks good. But if I click on the tab for page 2, all the prompts are carried over from page 1 and the report returns results for those inputs.
Similarly if I run page 3 (which is a completely different prompt) and enter some values and run the report and then click over to page 2, the page 2 prompt uses the values for the common fields from the page 3 prompt.
Ideally, if a user clicks on a new tab I would like it the prompt to be initialized with nothing (especially since I set scope to Page). I think it can be confusing if a completely different prompt has its values carried over to another pages prompt just because they share a field.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
K

The only way to do this is set the Scope of the prompt to Page and not Dashboard ... are you setting any values of the prompted columns in these prompts - if you set a presenataion variable in prompts 1 or 2 then don't use it to preload the the columns on prompts 3 or 4. Curious - what do you have the defaults set to? Report defaults? Specific Value? etc.
Also: I notice you reference the 3rd prompt as being Scoped at Page - what about prompts 1 and 2? All 4 should be scoped at page ...

Using Go URL to Pass parameter between dashboard

Hi All,
I am trying to pass parameter using GO URL functionality from one dashboard analysis field to another dashboard.
The navigation is working properly but the parameter is not getting passed, I am not sure why.
The Called dashboard has a analysis which has IS PROMPTED filter attached to it for the passing filter. I tried various ways to make this work
Option 1
In the calling analysis, I am using a Narrative View and inside I have used the below code.
<a href="saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/MI/_portal/Client-MI&Page=Supplier%20Detail%20Tab&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Dim%20Supplier.Supplier%20Name%20Current&P3=1+%22STR%20LTD%22"> @2[br/]
This one navigate but filtering is not happening
Option 2 (My first preference will be this option)
Also I tried to provide custom Data Format under the column Properties
[html]"<font class="nav" onclick=\"JavaScript:GoNav(event, '/shared/MI/_portal/Client-MI/Supplier Detail Tab','Dim Supplier','Supplier Name Current','"@"');\">"@"</font>
This ends up giving error
Type mismatch of catalog object /shared/MI/_portal/Client-MI/Supplier Detail Tab -- expected , got .
Error Details
Error Codes: UVWDR6UA
Also, both the tabs (Called and Calling are under the same Dashboard)
Can anyone please let me know, were I am making mistake. I tried refereeing Oracle documentation but still no result.
Thanks

Looks like you've got it almost right - just an extra unneeded "
<a href="two.jsp"?ant=<%= ant %>"><%=antName%></a>
which should render on the page as something like
My Ant Task
When you click the link, it should pass that parameter, and you can get it via request.getParameter().

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.
Regds
Mano

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.
