Hi,

Is it possible to save DV filter similar to saving filter in classic OAC?

    Hi @Amit Garg-Oracle ,

    It depends …

    Do you mean save the values you set for filters when viewing the page and have a quick way to reapply the same values? Or do you mean to save a set of filters that you use in an analysis as a catalog object so that you can easily define the same set of filters in other analyses by linking to the filter catalog object you saved?

    The above answer is more for the first case, while for the second case it isn't possible in DV.

    Technical interpretation of your question:

    If you are asking whether filters in DV can be saved as reusable technical objects in the catalog, and then reused by other authorized users in their own Workbooks, then the answer is a straight-forward "no".

    You can create an idea for this in the idea lab: https://community.oracle.com/products/oracleanalytics/categories/idealab-oracle-analytics-cloud-server

    @Amit Garg-Oracle Yes, it is possible. Please use workbook personalization. Please refer https://blogs.oracle.com/analytics/post/enabling-end-user-personalization-in-oac-workbooks

    Thank you everyone for your responses.

    My question was more towards a reusable saved filter which can be used across Workbooks. I understand the answer is "No".

    Will log an idea.

    Because of the nature of a DV workbook that include inside a single object all the pieces that before were split in multiple parts (dashboard, dashboard pages, analyses, prompts, filters etc.) I'm not sure something can be done.

    But log an idea and let product management think about it.

    In the meantime, if you need it as a "dirty" workaround, you can also try by copy/pasting pieces of JSON definition of the DV workbook.

    You have more chances to break the workbook and spend 3 times more time with the copy/paste than redoing it by hand. I wouldn't consider it except for some very precise use cases where benefits of that approach are guaranteed.

    If/When you post the idea, come back here and post the link: giving it more visibility can get you more up-votes.
