Child Item

Provide DV Project Menu Option (similar to Dashboard Dropdown Menu)

Organization Name

Deloitte

Description

Please provide a Menu Option for Projects (similar to the Dashboard Dropdown Menu Option) to publish Projects to end-users. Currently, users can access the DV Projects through the catalog or search on Home Page and none of them are user-friendly or sophisticated ways to access.

Use Case and Business Need

Use Case 1 - User Adoption of DV Platform:

Currently, there is no option for a dedicated and common way to publish DV projects on the DV Platform and hence business users have to access projects either through the catalog or through a search on Home Page. However, both of these options are not recommended to the business (especially executive-level users) since it is not a sophisticated way for business to access their dashboards. This may restrict users to adopt the new DV platform which is Oracle's recommended platform for analytics.

Use Case 2 - Ability to Group/Categorize DV Projects:

Generally, companies use the Analytics (OAC) platform for multiple Business/Functional Areas (i.e. Finance, HR, Supply Chain, etc.) and the audience/groups are different for each of these functional areas. If there is an option to group/categorize DV Projects by Business or Functional Areas that can help users to great extent. For Example, There are 5 DV Projects for each Finance, HR, and Supply Chain, we can create 3 groups/categories and place these DV projects into their respective groups/categories. This option is available in Dashboard Dropdown Menu in Classic.

Use Case 3 - Applying Security to the groups/categories:

Similar to the Dashboard Dropdown Menu, there should be a way to apply role-based security to these groups so only business users of their groups can view their respective DV Projects.

Agree - Ability to add custom html in order to create homegrown megamenu would be helpful as well.

This idea would definitely be beneficial to our users as well. Having an organized menu would enable navigation to pertinent DV projects grouped in an organized manner customized to our business needs.

Wilian Perone

Interesting indeed to be able to group projects. Make it easier to find and organize the reporting.

Please let us know if this idea is being considered to implement.

This is a must for me. I'm using a workaround in the meantime by embedding DV content into classic dashboards but that is a maintenance nightmare. The current OAC homepage is useless if there's no rhyme or reason to what shows up and where.

Calling on other customers to vote on this brilliant idea!!

It has been more than 6 months since I posted this idea. Hoping to hear back soon from Oracle.

Bumping this idea back up. We really need this to be a priority this year (it's been 2 years since the idea was first posted). This is a huge gap in navigation capabilities and user accessibility to reporting. The DV home page is not an intuitive way for users to access content especially when you have very large amounts of reporting supporting wide audiences with users from individual contributors all the way up to senior execs.

We need the ability to create a navigation menu with ordered/grouped content in a clean fashion (e.g., megamenu concept).

We basically have to send our users to Answers where we've created an embedded HTML/javascript menu that they can use to navigate to Answers and DV dashboards (this was really needed in Answers too beyond the dashboards menu).

Hello, would you mind explaining how to "create an embedded HTML/javascript menu" ?

I am familiar with html and javascript; what i do not know is how to embed my own html into OAC.

THANKS IN ADVANCE,

Our workaround - again, this is for Answers dashboards, not DV - is to have an analysis in at the top of our our dashboards pages and within that Analysis, we just have a single view that is a Static Text view (listed under Other Views) where we've checked the "Contains HTML/JavaScript/CSS Markup" and then pasted in our script that generates our megamenu. We do that on every Answers dashboard so we have consistent, easy navigation throughout all of our dashboards.
