Hi,

I need to caluculate some metrics, based on the date user selects on the dashboard. I am doing this with presentation variables but the performance is not good.can this be done in using anyother way like with session variables/request variables.sending the data back to rpd etc. if so, please provide me the pointers to the right document.

Regards,

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Would you not simply create the metrics in the RPD, and then display them on the dashboard? And whatever date the user picks, the metrics would automatically calculate? Feel like I'm missing something.

Thanks,

Scott

Yes. Request variables + RPD is definitely a more proper way to go since you create reusable objects rather than hacking things in the presentation catalog.

So basically presentation variables are NOT the only way you have...
