Setting Default Dashboard Preferences

Can anyone direct me where to set default preferences for my dashboard tools? In particular, I'd like the weather to display my hometown, Cincinnati (not Columbus, AR). When I click on the weather location on the icon on the dashboard, it takes me to the Accuweather website and I have to put in my city or zipcode.

Most have a small "i" on the tool. Click on that to configure it. There are no other default preferences. Some tools will use the city that is set in Date & Time as the default city. Unfortunately, if your city isn't in the Date & Time list you are out of luck.

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

Setting Default Dashboard based on Groups/users in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am having a requirement and facing some issues with setting a default dashboard option to the users who ever access the application. Below is the brief description of entire requirement.
The main requirement is to integrate OBIEE into a .net and silver light application. We will be having a 3 links in the .net application , which in turn displays the OBIEE reports and dashboards upon clicking the 3 links.
We are using the concept of Init blocks, session variables and Go URL from an OBIEE standpoint for accomplishing this integration requirement. We have also configured LDAP server in OBIEE.
The issue we are facing is out of the 3 links in .net application, we have one link/icon called dashboard icon which should display bunch of OBIEE dashboard pages in the form of 4 tabs but currently it is showing the My Dashboard home page. For this to achieve to set default dashboard page is to go to My account and change the default dashboard to the desired dashboard and log out and log in back to the application and we will be all set with dashboard pages being displayed upon lcking the dashboard icon but this is manual process for each user as they need to login into the .net application and change the setting s in My Account manually to change the default dashboard setting to the desired one.
How should I make sure, whoever is logging into the Application (every user) should be able to see the default dashboard pages without changing the options manually by going to My Account.
The LDAP server is taking care of the Authentication part of the users as every user record is maintained in Active directory which in turn is part of LDAP server.
To brief high level requirement on single statement is  how to make a default dashboard pages to users based on group in OBIEE. Is there any option in OBIEE, where we can change or set a default dashboard to particular group in OBIEE either in RPD or UI level.
Appreciate your help on this.
Let me know if anyone needs any more information in this regard.
Thank
Praveen

Setting default Finder preferences

Hi, I recently upgraded t 10.7.2 and I was wondering if there was a way to set default finder arrange and view preferences. I upgraded form SL and I was able to do this (all finder windows would open in icon view with the files arranged by kind). Is there a way to set these preferences in Lion? I have gone to the View Options and selected Arrange to "Kind" and Sory by to "Name" and then selected "Use as defaults" at the bottom, but these are not maintained in subsequent finder window (they revert back to no settings). Do I have to do this for every single finder page?

So, I ended up erasing and reinstalling and this did not fix the problem (even before I migrated). I downloaded a new file from the App store because I thought my first one was corrupt, but there is not difference. Maybe what I envision is not possible in Lion. Here is what I do to set up my defaults.
Step 1: Open my main directory.
Step 2: Set preferences in view options.
Step 3: Open Alpha. The folders appear to be organized appropriately.
Step 4: Open Users. The files are no longer organized appropriately.
Step 5: Check setting. The option to set default is grayed out and the settings are no longer what I set before.
So, I change these setting and open my user folder and make some test files. The test files do not follow the view options either.

Setting default preferences (CS3)

Hi, I seem to be losing my preferences a lot recently, when I have a crash, and it's becoming quite tedious fixing them manually.
I've managed to successfully java script a few things to work on startup. However there are a few things I don't know the code for:
1. Uncheck "Dimensions include stroke weight"
2. Uncheck "Adjust stroke weight when scaling"
3. Printer prefs > Graphics > images > send data "all" (Needs to be for the application default printer preferences, NOT the current document preferences)
Is there a list available that covers all these things? Can't seem to find them in the Adobe scripting reference or guide.
Cheers

First thing to do is grasp the difference between name of an object and name of a property
"TransformPreference" is the name of an object -- a 'type', just as "Number" is, and "String", and lots of Others. As sort of convention, these are written with an initial capital. You cannot assign a value to an object; you need a variable of that type instead. And an object, in turn, may contain new variables (its 'properties').
So, if I say that an Application contains an object TransformPreference that has a property adjustStrokeWeightWhenScaling, you cannot literally copy-and-paste everything together. Besides, you really have to check case usage. Javascript is Case Sensitive!
"app" is the name of the Application object we are working with (you got that right)
the transform preference object is called 'transformPreferences'
and that, in turn, has a boolean 'dimensionsIncludeStrokeWeight' (note case)
So a full assignment line would be
app.transformPreferences.dimensionsIncludeStrokeWeight = false;
or, in the alternative notation
with(app.transformPreferences) {
dimensionsIncludeStrokeWeight = false;
adjustStrokeWeightWhenScaling = false;
(which reminds me, where did you ever get "ScaleStrokes" from?)
The Print Preference thingy is something different. The "application" doesn't have any print preferences you can set! Only a Document or a Book (which is kind of a document, I suppose) can have these. The print preferences are what "get changed" if you take a print preset and change those before actually pressing the 'print' button.
The short of it is that you cannot set default 'print preferences' for the program; however, that ought not to be a problem because that's what Print Presets are for. And you don't need a script to save/restore these.

Changing Default user Preferences in Workspace

I am using HFM 9.3.1. Each time I set up a new user I have to get them to log in, and go through the following routine..
Go to File>Preferences. Then Select Financial Reporting on the left side of the preferences window. Under the Preview heading on the screen are two radio buttons for On and Off. Select On and click OK.
Does anyone know how to change the default setting on this Preference to On?

From the workspace administrators manual, the directions are:
Assigning Reporting and Analysis Default Preferences
User Management Console enables users with Provisioning Manager and Explorer roles to set
the default folder, new document folder, and start page application preferences for users and
groups. Individual and group preferences have precedence over default preferences.
For default preferences to succeed, users and groups must have the roles and permissions
necessary to access specified folders and interface elements.
Provisioning Manager is a Shared Services role that enables you to provisions users and groups
to applications. It is also required for setting default user preferences for Reporting and Analysis.
For more information, see the Hyperion Security Guide.
➤ To assign default preferences for Reporting and Analysis:
1 Select Navigate > Administer > User Management.
2 Log on to User Management Console with a user name provisioned with Provisioning Manager and Explorer
roles.
3 Expand the Projects node until a Reporting and Analysis application is displayed.
4 Right-click the application name and select Assign Preferences.A three-step wizard is displayed in the Process bar.
5 For step 1 of the Wizard, Select Users, select Available Users or Available Groups.
6 From the left panel, select user names or group names and click the right arrow.
To select consecutive names, select the first name, press and hold down Shift, and select the last
name. To select names that are not consecutive, press and hold down Ctrl, and select each item.
Use Add All to select all names.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to select a combination of users and groups.
8 When all user and group names are displayed in Selected Users and Groups, click Next.
9 For step 2 of the Wizard, Manage Preferences, specify these default preferences for the selected users and
groups:
Managing Users 41
● Default Folder—Repository location of the default folder.
● New Document Folder—Default folder in which the new document wizard searches for
valid data sources, that is, Web Analysis database connection files and Interactive Reporting
documents.
● Start Page—Reporting and Analysis interface displayed after logging on. Select None,
Explore, Document, Favorite, or Scorecard.
If you select Explore or Document for Start Page, you must specify a repository location.
10 When all preferences are specified, click Next.
11 For step 3 of the Wizard, Finish, choose between three tasks:
● To configure options for another application, select one from the View pane.
● To change preferences for currently selected users and groups, click Back.
● To specify another set of users and groups and set their preferences, click Continue.

Regarding Default dashboard

Hi Experts,
i want to set default dashboard for particular user and group.
i dont know the steps for setting different default dashboard for
different users.
please give any solution for it.

if you're using external table authentication, you better store the PORTALPATH in your database for each user and now in initialization block assign this column value to the PORTALPATH variable so that when user logs in using PORTALPATH it always navigate to the specified dashboard in portalpath column.

Default User setting at Dashboard level

Hi SAP Users,
i want default dashboard user setting & all users will only see my setting
Is it possible to have default user setting for dashboard?
Regards
Ravindra

In the administration mode, you can update the current configuration settings/layout (right-click on the UI group you want to update, can be a dashboard, a field...) and save them as the default (standard) settings.
Please try with the administration url I provided you with, and let me know if it helps.

Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1

We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
Thank you

I thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Expected statement
Code: 800A0400
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong. I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work.

Setting up a default Dashboard

Hi
We created a session variable to get portalpath for the users inorder to set a default dashboard. But, this is not working unless we choose default option for the Dashboard choice under "My Account" option.
Please, let us know if there is any workaround available to set a default dashboard without making any change to the Account(setting default in My Account) of a user.
Thanks.
