We have a subject area defined in the presentation layer of the RPD.  Within that subject area, there are multiple folders.

When we sign in to OBIEE, some of these folders are not available for selection within that subject area.

Is there a flag or a property somewhere in the RPD that makes these folders invisible?

Thanks,

Dennis

    Every presentation layer object has object permissions. SA, tables, folders, hierarchies, columns, hierarchy columns etc

    My co-worker and I were just looking at this.  He found the answer.

    The "missing" folder is actually a child folder of another.  Here are the steps we used to find it.

    Within the Presentation Layer of the RPD...

    1. Right click on the parent folder.

    2. Select Properties.

    3. Click on the "Child Presentation Tables" tab.

    4. The "missing" folder is listed here as a child folder.

    Just being a child folder doesn't make it disappear. It just gets nested under its parent.

    @Dennis Hancy if this concludes the question can you please close the thread? Thanks.
