View Selector left position

Hi Everyone,
Can somebody help me, for one of my Dashboard reporting(on OBIEE 11g), I am using 'View Selector'(two VIEWS, both are Pivot views) to show an Analysis report. One of the VIEW is really wide, 'View Selector' option is showing up at top center of the report. Is there a way, to show this 'View Selector' option at the top left of the report, rather than top center. I would really appreciate it.
This is my first posting, please let me know, if I did'nt explained it good enough.

Hi Jeeva,
I have came across the same type of the requirement and i found a new trick to over come this type puzzles in Obiee 11g. Below is the steps for the solution;
1) Go the the EDIT VIEW of the View Selector
2) Select the Caption position as 'Right' in the dropdown list.
3) Go to the Format Caption and in the Additional Formatting Options, put some Right Padding say eg: 1000 or 1500 according to the width of your view.
4) Select Done and save the view.
Now you can able to see the view selector in the left top corner of the view and also you can able to do the same for the right most of your view by the same trick. The only thing is that the Label of the view selector is in the right side of the dropdown rather than the left, but that should be fine i guess.
Please Excuse if its not relevant or the one that you are expected...
Cheers & Thanks,
John Nelapatti

Hi user,
Add a narrative view below the view selector to your report with the below script(enable Contains HTML Markup checkbox) .
<script type="text/javascript">
var leftJustifyVSelector = function (debug,align){
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Begining leftJustifyVSelector function"+"<BR>");}
// Get all view selector objects
var vselectors = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Get the TD elements"+"<BR>");}
if( vselectors == null){o
// Couldn't find a view selector
if (debug === 1) { document.write("No view selectors available"+"<BR>");}
return;
// Otherwise loop through them and align them to the left
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Looping over the view selects"+"<BR>");}
for ( var view =0; view < vselectors.length; view++){
// check if this is not a view select class TD element
if ( vselectors\[view\].className == null ||
vselectors\[view\].className == undefined ||
(vselectors\[view\].className != "VSelSelector")){
// Not a view select TD
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Not a view selector TD. Continue."+"<BR>");}
continue;
// We must have found a view selector change the alignment property
vselectors\[view\].align=align;
if (debug === 1) { document.write("Done setting the align property to left"+"<BR>");}
leftJustifyVSelector(0,"left");

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my doc

The HUD Inspector in Full Screen View seems to position at the right margin of the image as a default(?) If I toggle the button in the top right of the HUD it 'unlocks' and I can drag it to where I prefer -- at the left margin; (for over a decade) my dock has resided at the right margin so all my slider manipulation over countless editing sessions in Aperture has been ingrained to work at the left margin -- but, the vast majority of the time, the HUD overlaps the image I am editing in this 'unlocked' mode.
Every occasionally I enter Full Screen View and it positions on the left margin *without* superimposition...(!) My great joy is modulated into aggravation, however, should my tracking cursor drift all the way 'out of bounds' -- to call in the hidden pane of adjacent images sequenced in the library... This dramatically shrinks the Full Screen display and re-locks the HUD; if I toggle the switch to re-xpand the image it re-positions at the right margin!!!! I SOOoooooo wish I knew how to control the default 'locked' margin of the HUD in Full Screen View...

Drag it over to the Left. Then lock it there.

Left Justify View Selector

Guys,
I am running into some formatting issues especially with allignment.
1. Need to left justify View Selector. I was able to left justify the caption but not able to move the "View seletor" Tried several things like adding size in the left padding and made the allignment left but that still remains in the centre. Only the caption moves left but i want everything left jusstified.
2. I have two reports in my dashboard. The top report goes pretty widee and the user has to scroll across to see the bottom report which is pretty small. I am trying to left justify the bottom report so that it always stays completely left side so that user dont have to scroll. But looks like even though i changed the section properties in the "Edit Dashboard" it still stays in the centre.
Can you guys advice if there are some style sheets or XML that we can modify to achieve this.
thanks

Hi Prash,
Throw this into a text object at the bottom of your dashboard and check the enable HTML option.
It'll left justify ONLY the view selector drop down box.
Cheers!

Filtering View Selector

Hello experts!
I have an assignment to do.
I have a report that has a view selector of pivot tables (5 exactly). My question is: it exists any kind of filter (maybe another view selector) that when I click in one member of this "filter" it shows me 2 options of my view selector or if I choose another member of "filter" show me 3 different options???
Thank you!
P.D. I could solve my problem if I could include a view selector in another view selector.

Hi,
Yes you can do it, as you said by using a view selector that:
I could include a view selector in another view selector.try this:
1. create one view selector viewSelector!1 and add your 2 reports
2. go on compound layout and add your view selector viewSelector!1
3. add again view selector (it will create viewSelector!2)
4. add your 3 reports in this new view selector..
5. go on compound layout and add your new view selector viewSelector!2
6. add again view selector (it will create viewSelector!3)
7 go to advance tab and modify your xml by modify:
      <saw:view xsi:type="saw:viewSelector" name="viewSelector!3" rptViewVers="200510010">
         <saw:viewSelectorCaption position="left"/>
         <saw:viewList/>with
      <saw:view xsi:type="saw:viewSelector" name="viewSelector!3" rptViewVers="200510010">
         <saw:viewSelectorCaption position="left"/>
         <saw:viewList>
            <saw:viewItem type="view" name="viewSelector!1"/>
            <saw:viewItem type="view" name="viewSelector!2"/>
      </saw:viewList>8. set xml
9.go on results and you will see your view selector that contains two other view selectors...
10. modify this view selector to set correct caption and remove from compound layout the other static 2 view selectors...

When moving Div in design view : Top & Left as Percentage?

Hello All,
Whenever I move a div in design view, the left and top values are changed to pixels - I would like these to be given as percentages (using the viewport dimensions I have currently selected).
Is this possible? If so can anyone tell me how to configure this please?
If not, would it be possible for me to create an extension for this? Does the extension API provide that kind of ability?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

#1 DW is not a click & drag application like Photoshop or Illustrator.
#2 Switch to Code View and apply the top: and left: values manually.
CSS:
#DivName {
     position:absolute;
     top:xx%;
     left:xx%;
That said, APDivs seldom work well for primary layouts. Here's why:

Using a view as left link

Hi All
I want to develop a left link which will appear in every view of the application and will have the links by clicking which right view can be changed like our e-mail sites where we click on folder name and right part gets changed.
For this functionality I have created a view for left link and added it to a view set so that i don't need to add all those links to each and every view again and again but i have a problem like when i click on the link how to change the lift link from one view to another.
e.g.
i have links called inbox and spam in left link and currently showing inbox in right view now when i click on spam automatically right view should be get changed to spam folder.
how can i achieve this functionality. Is it possible through view set or if any other way to implement this?
Thanks in advance
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,
Create a Viewset having two regions left and right.
In left view have all the link and attach some actions to them.
Like
navigateToInbox()
navigateToSpan()
In the actions simply fire an outbound plug to corresponding view that is embeded in right side of viewset.
On firing of view corresponding view will be displayed in the right region.

View Selector - Switch issue between Graph and Table Data

Hi:
We have created the report with both Table view and Chart View. Both of them has been added to the View Selector and added to the Dashboard. While performing the testing we found that sometimes the Switch between the views are not happening. Meaning when we try to switch from Chart View to Table View, the View changes in the drop down but the original Graph to table will not switch. In order to make that happen we need to try 3 or 4 times across the drop downs from Table to Chart and then chart to table.
Did any one face the similar issue. Any suggestions or insights on this.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards
Sunil Kumar T.S.

hey there RAM,
here are a few tips...
1. what is the table field with the right value? and is this table field in the *itm extractor?
2. can you include this field into the extractor?
3. could it be a calculated value?
hope this helps.

Gantt Chart View not listed in View Selector

View Selector is missing view of type “Gantt” for List based on list template “171” i.e. “TasksWithTimelineAndHierarchy”
Missing Gantt View
Visible in Ribbon
What we have done to create the Gantt view is as follows
We are working with remote provisioning pattern to provision the site and required lists
A Task List is provisioned using CSOM (Managed .Net) via a Provider Hosted App that is hosted as Azure Web Site
We are creating a view based of type “Gantt”
Sample ViewXml used for creating the view. Highlighted below is the property we have set for the same
<View>
<Title>Tasks_View_GanttChart</Title>
<DefaultView>false</DefaultView>
<PersonalView>false</PersonalView>
<RowLimit>30</RowLimit>
<Paged>true</Paged>
<Scope>DefaultValue</Scope>
<ViewType>Gantt</ViewType>
</View>
Standard View Menu (View Selector) does not show Custom Gantt chart (created via CSOM) in the menu list. Refer screenshot mentioned earlier
Custom Gantt chart view is available in ribbon menu though
The same custom Gantt chart is visible in the standard menu if we are in “out of the box Gantt chart View” (Below ‘OOTB Gant chart’ is created from front end using the template ‘Gantt chart view’)
Sample Code used to create the view
ViewCreationInformation viewInfo = new ViewCreationInformation()
Title = listViewTemplate.Title,
ViewFields = viewFields,
SetAsDefaultView = isDefaultView,
PersonalView = isPersonalView,
Query = query.ToString(),
RowLimit = rowLimit,
Paged = paged,
ViewTypeKind = viewType
View view = list.Views.Add(viewInfo);
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
Any clue on this behavior? We have the same issue with Calendar View Type as well for the Calendar List.

I found solution:
You need modify XsltListViewWebPart tool bar option from one value to another, and then back. That solves that bug in SharePoint.
public static void FixGanttIssue(SPList list, string ViewName)
SPSite site = list.ParentWeb.Site;
SPLimitedWebPartManager AllItemsMan = site.RootWeb.GetFile(list.Views[ViewName].Url).GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
XsltListViewWebPart wp = (XsltListViewWebPart)AllItemsMan.WebParts[0];
wp.Toolbar = "Summary Toolbar";
AllItemsMan.SaveChanges(wp);
wp.Toolbar = "Full Toolbar";
AllItemsMan.SaveChanges(wp);

Prompt used as view selector for multiple reports

Hi All,
Can a dashboard prompt be used as View Selector for multiple reports? If yes, please let me know how?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
You can do this with Dashboard prompts, but it's a little tricky. I'll highlight the process below. Keep In mind I assume you have three reports already created and have three views: View 1, View 2 and View 3.
Phase I: The Dashboard Prompt
1. Create a new dashboard prompt.
2. Add any single column to your prompt. It doesn't really matter which one (just make sure nothing is prompted on it to be safe).
3. For the sake of this example, I'll assume we added column: "Test Folder"."Test Field"
4. Make sure your Operator is "is equal to/is in"
5. Make sure the control is "Drop-down List"
6. Change the Show to "SQL Results"
7. Write a SQL statement similar to the following (TEST =<your subject area>, "Test Folder"."Test Field" = <your column>):
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 1' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 2' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 3' END
FROM TEST
**Note: The reason why we need to do the CASE statement is because every logical query needs at least 1 presentation column. The case statement is a way to include the presentation column, but since the statement 1=2 is never true, we always use the ELSE condition.
8. Set a presentation variable. Call it VIEW_PVAR
9. Have the Prompt default to Specific Value: View 1
10. Save the Dashboard Prompt and put it into the Dashboard with your reports.
Phase II: Filter Reports
1. Create a new Answer request
2. Bring in your test column twice
3. Change the formula (fx) on the second column to be: '@{VIEW_PVAR}{View 1}'
4. Now add a filter to the presentation variable column
5. Set the operator to "is equal to/is in' and set the value to: View 1
6. Save the Request as "View 1 Filter"
7. Change the value in the filter to: View 2
8. Save the Request as "View 2 Filter"
9. Change the value in the filter to: View 3
10. Save the Request as "View 3 Filter"
Phase III: Guided Navigation
1. Create three sections in your dashboard
2. Rename each section to: View 1, View 2 and View 3 respectively
3. For each of the sections, do the following:
3a. Click on properties
3b. Click on Guided navigation
3c. Set the Guided Navigation to the appropriate Filter report
4. For each of the three sections, do the following:
4a. Add in all three requests
4b. Click on the request properties and select Show and the appropriate view for that section
5. Save your changes to your Dashboard
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

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
Kris
Edited by: user566193 on Mar 22, 2011 10:18 PM

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,
KK
