Resize a dashboard section at runtime

Hello,
We would like to embed a url from a TM1 application into a dasboard at about a 300x100 size. If the data looks interesting the user could then click on it and have the section resize to about 1024x768 to view the data better. And then of course click on it and it resize back small.
Is this possible in OBI EE? Could you tell me roughly how this could be done? I am a programmer that has had very little experience in OBI EE up to this point and have been asked this question by management.
Thanks
Doug

In Edit Dashboard, drag a "Link or Image" object to a section of the dashboard. Click on "Properties" and enter the URL. Click on "new window." The user can then resize the window to whatever desired size. Once done, a simple click on the "x" of the window and the user is back in the main dashboard.

Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?

Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?
The requirement is - User should be able to enter comments in a edit box for a section in a dashboard and save it. For other users, this should show up as a non-editable comment while for the user it should be editable box.
Example: In a report in a section on dashboard for Supplier Trends, a Purchase Manager should enter the commments -" This weeks trends show no issues. Next week watch out for supplier X". For everyone other than him, this should show up as comments.
1. Is there a way to achieve this functionality?
2. Can this be achived using write back option?
3. Or will this require java scripting?
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
files.
For Windows Explorer, did you mean
medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

Achieving precise positioning of conditional dashboard sections

Working with 11.1.1.7.0.
I have three dashboard sections that are conditional. All three sections are in the same column. Only one section will be visible at any given time. The sections "turn off" and "turn on" as designed, in response to a dashboard prompt. That part works just fine.
Here's the problem: There is something about the section object that causes the top of Section #2 to display exactly 2 pixels below where the top of Section #1 was. When I make the prompt selection that turns off Section #1 and turns on Section #2, Section #1 turns off and Section #2 appears, but it is 2-pixels too low. Then I make the prompt selection that turns off Section #2 and turns on Section #3, and Section #3 has moved down another 2 pixels. So if you're thinking about it on a grid, the top of Section #1 appears at vertical position y, Section #2 appears at position y-2px, and Section #3 appears at position y-4px.
The same thing happens sideways if I place the sections in three side-by-side columns. Section #1 is at horizontal position x, Section #2 appears at position x+2px, and Section #3 appears at position x+4px.
I've tried setting the section properties to 0 for all padding values (top, bottom, left, right) but that did not help.
So it appears that a conditional section never truly disappears. It sort of feels like the contents are supressed, and a 1px border all the way around still remains, thus adding 2px in both directions.
Any thoughts on how to make conditional sections appear precisely where they "should" be?

The "empty" 2px are the reserved space where the disabled objects actually reside. I doubt you can tweak the rendering engine ;-)

Resize a container size at runtime in WD ABAP

Hi all,
I have some queries in WD ABAP.
1) If I want to resize(stretch) a container at runtime is there any GUI element or something else to do so.
2) Also when I hit enter at runtime how to handle this even.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Sanket sethi

Hi Sanket
If I want to resize(stretch) a container at runtime is there any GUI element or something else to do so
There is no such UI element which can stretch the container. But you can set the width and height property of the container with two string type attribute and in some event handler, just set the value in these attribute according to the size you want.
Every Input field has ONENTER event, just write the code in that method.
I hope it helps.

Hidding Views in Dashboard Section

Hi,
Can anybody please help me on this
The requirement is to do a dynamic dashboard where I want to hide some views in section. Iam doing a Top 10 customers by Revenue for US , EU , AP regions. and I gave a dashhboard page prompt as "REGION" for US , EU and AP . Right now I created one dashboard section with three different views for US , EU , AP
If I dont select any region from the prompt I should be able to see all the three views and If I select US region , the EU and AP views should be hidden . How to achieve this ?
any help will be greatly appreciable.
Thanks
Shruthi

On the edit dashboard page, there are properties for each section to be set. One of them is guided navigation. With guided navigation, you can hide or show a section, depending on the results of an other request. When this "conditional" request returns rows you can decide to show (or hide) the section.
First of all, you need to create a separate section for each request. When you select ''US" in the dashboard prompt then only the section with the US report must be shown. The other sections must be hidden, right?
Now you need to create the conditional requests, which means that when "US" is selected in the dashboard prompt:
1) the conditional request for the US section must returns rows -> US section will be hidden
2) the conditional request for the EU section must not return rows -> EU section will be hidden
3) the conditional request for the AP section must not return rows -> AP section will be hidden
Then you need to think smart about how to create these conditional requests.
You can think of a request holding only the region column.
Then you add two filters:
For the US condtional request:
1) Region is equal to US (Protect this filter with filter option)
AND 2) Region is prompted
For the EU conditional request:
1) Region is equal to EU (Protect this filter with filter option)
AND 2) Region is prompted
For the AP conditional request:
1) Region is equal to AP (Protect this fiter with filter option)
AND 2) Region is prompted
So what happens when you select EU in the dashboard prompt:
The US conditional request won't return rows -> US section will be hidden.
The EU conditional request will return rows -> EU section will be visible.
The AP condtional request won't return rows -> AP section will be hidden.

How Both View Selector and Column Selector in one report dashboard section

Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?
env: obiee 10g
Appreciate any links and pointers
Thanks in Advance

hi kris,
Can we use a view selector and column selector inside a report in one section of the dashboard?Here view selector is nothing but having multiple views and selecting depends on what end user want to see.You are saying in a single report in once section only.
If it is a single report you can go with using a column selector.
Note:-View selector and column selector combination can be used.....but it looks wierd as you need to select view at the same time the corresponding column.
UPDATED POST
Yes you can have it by creating different compound layouts with pivots in it.
Cheers,

How to proper resize images and videos at runtime without losing quality?

Hi guys. I need a bit of help here.
I've built a flash site in which i want to resize a movie to the stage. I do it by keeping the proportion, thus i only resize the width and then i resize the height acordingly to the new width but keeping the proportion.
The problem is that my film still looks "pixeled".
I found a website on which the stage resizes dinamically with the movie and the background images without either of them losing quality. Till now i knew that resizing images or videos in flash at authoring or runtime produces pixeled results.
This is the website: http://kampanjeweb.apt.no/jotun/romforrom/. Can someone tell me how do they do it without losing quality? just make the browser windowed and resize the margins to see the effect.
Thanks.

Hello, Venian.
About the video, you could try setting the flash.media.Video's smoothing property to TRUE. This should keep a quality, but you can do nothing if the video has a poor quality. You need a great video.
About the images, you you need to redraw the image each time you resize it. To achieve it, use a combination of Bitmap, BitmapData and Matrix classes. Any doubt, just call again. Here is a simple example:
var scale:Number = .5;
var highQualitySourceImage:Bitmap = ...your image...;
var scaleMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
scaleMatrix.scale(scale, scale);
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( scale*highQualitySourceImage.width, scale*highQualitySourceImage.height);
bitmapData.draw(highQualitySourceImage, scaleMatrix);
var finalBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
addChild( finalBitmap );
Cheers,
CaioToOn!

Dashboard/Section Format

Hi Guys,
I have a dashboard and have 3 differerent section with in that dashboard..when i look in the dashboard I see a space between the sections Data...I want to minimise the space between the sections data/tables.
Can Some one suggest me how to do this...
Thanks in advance

If I understand your question correctly, you are not happy with the default layout (Styling) of the OBIEE dashboard and you wish to modify the way it presents the sections on the dashboard. The section are defined from the base design of OBIEE, even if you conduct some very basic styling and skinning the default gap will exist between the sections on the dashboard. This is by design.
Since you are just looking for a suggestion...
The way to achieve what you seek is to modify the CSS (Cascading StyleSheet) used for that particular design element of the dashboard.
That is the right answer.
How you get there takes a lot of trivial investigation. This is where it is helpful if you have a resource on your team that knows HTML/CSS/DHTML, etc. If you right-click the dashboard in your web browser and "View Source" you may be able to find the specific class or html that is creating the gap. From there you could GREP on some HTML syntax through the OBIEE web/ folder structure and widdle down where you need to make your mod.
From here you need the skills I mentioned above.
Cheers,
Christian

Is it possible to resize page column widths at runtime (by the user)?

hi all,
i have cretaed a page using the 2-columns narrow/wide layout. this layout is perfect for what i want to do.
however, the users have complained that they would like to be able to resize the columns, just like they are able to do with the Detailed Navigation column (using the small "<" and ">" arrows).
is it posssible to add this functionality to my custom pages so that can also resize the columns?
i searched for options in the properties, but didn't find anything.
thanks,
mm

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Using javascript to hide/enable sections on a dashboard

Hi,
Version - OBIEE 11.1.1.6.1
I am trying to display/hide a section based on the user selecting a value from a radio button(variable prompt). These sections contain reports(which use different filter criteria) and have different prompts .
ie If value A is selected in radio button, prompt C and report D should be visible
if value B is selected in radio button, prompt X and report Y should be visible
I am able to do this by using condition(which uses a hidden analysis) on a section but that refreshes/reloads the report sections even before the corresponding prompts are applied which does not provide a good user experience.
Can this be done by Javascript?
I am able to hide a section through javascript based on radio button selection by calling - saw.dashboard.onToggleSection('<dashboard-section-id>',null);
However I am not able to find a way to enable the other section. Has anyone been able to use JS to hide/unhide a section?
Any suggestions/inputs appreciated
Edited by: layman on Oct 17, 2012 12:55 AM

I really don't see why there would be a need to script wildly when you can easily achieve this with conditional reports which are just listening for the values currently in the radio buttons, return some bogus line and then enabling or disabling sections.
E.g. section condition: ROWCOUNT("DoesTheRadioButtonSayBlaBlaBla") > 0
C.
