How to manage user-specific preferences, UI labels, themes, and column visibility in OAC?
I have a few questions on Oracle Analytics Cloud and would really appreciate your help:
- Saving User Preferences in a Workbook:
In OAC, is there a way to save user-specific preferences in a workbook?
Use case: A user opens a workbook and selects two values from a filter. The next time the same user logs in and opens the workbook, those two filter values should remain selected. This preference should be saved only for that specific user and not affect other users who access the workbook. - Renaming "Workbook" on the OAC Main Page:
Is it possible to rename the word "workbook" that appears on the OAC main page when logging into the instance? (Please refer to the image below.) - Enabling Redwood Theme in Workbook:
Is there a way to enable the Redwood theme in a workbook? - Hiding Columns in Read Mode:
Can a user hide or remove a column from a visual while in read-only mode, without deleting it from the dataset?
Use case: A dashboard shows four columns - first name, last name, city, and country. I have read-only access and prefer not to see the "country" column in my view of the workbook. However, other users should still be able to see all four columns.

The Redwood Theme can be enabled by following the steps in this https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/applications-common/24d/oaext/configure-redwood-themes.html

Hi,
In OAC March 2025 you have a new feature named "Create and save multiple personalized workbook states". Watch the video below for details on what it is.
You can't rename anything in the UI that isn't defined by a user. The word "Workbook" is part of the product, because those are workbooks. It's maybe easier to teach the proper name of the things they are using to users…
When you build a workbook you select the theme you want to use for it, if it isn't Redwood already (it's supposed to be the default), you can change it.
In DV you can only hide a column from a workbook in "edit" mode, but then you have the risk of saving the new state and "break" it for everybody else. You should look in and upvote an idea asking that if there is one, or post a new idea with the request of this kind of feature (that exist in "classic" for 10+ years).
