Clear some elements on the home page

Question

Hi All,

Is there a way to clear some of the elements/objects from the home page? Say, the "recent  dashboards" and/or "most popular" for example.

We're trying to take screen shots for some documentation and would like to have to home page cleared out (at least initially) ...

OBIEE 11.1.1.9.x

Regards,

Charles

Yea, we don't want to remove the entire section for all the users . Maybe, I can just create a "dummy" user that hasn't accessed anything yet. Shouldn't be any recently accessed dashboards. We could get the screen shots we're looking for that way, before any actions are taken.

I thought there may have been some kind of "clear history" of "clear cache" for this type of thing. Definitely don't want to take an chances for this.

Ahh remove the whole section? You can, but then it's gone for everyone.

That's one of the few things I haven't hacked yet and custom-security enabled based on app roles. Would that be fitting for you? Because user-based I won't even try

Hi Christian,

I think what we're trying to do here is just remove the "icons" under the Recent Dashboards section ... for a particular user.

So, we want this to be empty. Is that possible?
