Hi All,

How could i go about having the Sign Out link either redirect to a page that I would like or simple close the page?

Any help is appreciated!

Jon

    I know there is a way to add custom links to your dashboard -- in which you case you could make a custom link to go to whatever page you want. I've never tried it but I read about it here:

    How to Add Custom Links in OBIEE header / Presentation Services | The Big Data - Business Intelligence by…

    As for a link to close the page or changing the existing link, we will have to wait until one of the more experienced gurus comment.

    As with anything related to GUI modification: Firebug is your friend!

    With this information you can then create you own custom style + skin and modify the corresponding files.

    My problem here is that I can't seem to identify what page the above is actually in on the filesystem.

    Hi Jon,

    I wouldn't touch at all the logout link itself just because it does some good things you want to keep (close the session etc.).

    So I would suggest you look at the "Thank you for using Oracle Business Intelligence software. You have successfully signed out." page and you add a piece of Javascript there doing the redirect.

    Closing the page doesn't work anymore very well, the browser will probably prompt the users if they really want to close instead of closing ...

    But again it's javascript allowing you to do it.

    The file building that page is named "signedout.html" it's supposed to be into /bi/bifoundation/web/msgdsb/pages/common/ (next to the sign-in page etc.).

    Have a look in that direction, it seems to be cleaner.

    If you manage to add the javascript into a custom message file would be top as you can add it to your customization and so you don't lose it during patching / upgrading.

    The text is related to the "kmsgAuthenticateThankYouHaveLoggedOff" key, so try to customize that one maybe first, would be the cleanest way to do it. For the JS code just google how to redirect in javascript or how to close the page, it must be a single line thing.

    Thanks Gianni, I just managed to alter header.js to do it, but you're right, its not clean at all. I will give your suggestions a shot and report back.

    Thanks
