OBIEE 12c Dashboard Page and Subpages

Question

I am trying to create a consistent template across all subpages of a Dashboard Page.

Has anyone figured how to move a subpage to a different Page.  Copying and Pasting a subpage in catalog makes it page, losing reference to the parent page.

Thanks

Everything is in the "dashboard layout" file. A simple 2 pages dashboard : When adding a sub-page to "page 1", a group is created and "page 1" become a sub-page itself : page 1 Pages aren't aware of their status (page or sub-page), only "dashboard layout" has the info. The only thing I'm not sure about if you do the job by hand is the impact of the "id" attribute for the dashboardPageGroup if you just make a random one. Can maybe have an impact when saving customisations, don't guess there are other side effects (as long as it's unique inside the same "dashboard layout").

Hi Wayne,

The problem is in how the XML is constructed. The page only becomes a subpage by a change in grouping. It's not a standalone object type per se.

Don't have the example handy but when you create a page and then make it a subpage its core xml doesnt really change but it becomes a subpage implicitly due to a change in parent.
