Hide dasboard page

mmajdana1

Hi, I am using OBIEE 12c.

I have two dashboard pages ,one for prompts and the other one for report and i want to know is there a posibillity to hide dashboard page where my report is

until  I hit apply button on previous page where my prompts are?

Thx, Matija

1.) Which "12c"? So far we had 19 "12c" versions. Bad details = bad or unfitting responses.

2.) Are you talking about "reports" from BI Publisher or "analyses" from OBI? Two completely different technologies so please use the correct terminologies.

3.) Generally just hide the second dashboard page and only put a link to it on the prompts page. And that link has to be in a conditional section which only evaluates to TRUE when the prompts are filled out.

Thx for response my version is 12.2.1.2.0 , and i am talking about analyses from OBI

Furthermore, i would be very grateful if you explain bit more detailed  about puting link on dashboard page to the page that is hidden.

especially the part where i can put conditional section which only evaluates to TRUE when the prompts are filled out?

Create an analysis which basically just checks whether the prompts are filled out with values. Can be easily done by capturing the prompt values via presenation variables and then just CASE WHEN ELSEing each variable. That was you have an aanalysis that just returns a (fake) row when the prompts are filled out.

Then create a section which holds a link to the dashboard page with the analyses. That section then gets a condition - there you choose the analysis you made above. In essence the section will then be shown when "analysis for prompt values has rowcount > 0"

In 12c there is a checkbox at the dashboard page level which tell the system the page will not load the analysis till the prompt aren't submit.

So just check that checkbox and put the analysis in the same page as the prompt and it's done!

That's what you have to look for ...

Are you sure, when i tick this it does not require prompts to be filled to open that page, do i have to set something else that i am not aware at this moment?

Gianni Ceresa

The theory is that it let you open the page, but doesn't load the analysis in it before that you submit the prompts.

I really appreciate the effort , but what i want to achieve is that i dont see dashboard page until my prompts are filled and i hit apply button... can it be done?

Read my very first reply from 4 weeks ago. In 4 weeks you could pretty much build a new data lake - let alone test a simple dashboard page :-P

You're losing literally weeks of time for something you can test in a couple of minutes...
