See screenshot. First, I changed the Canvas Properties to Freeform so I could re-size and move the visualizations. Then I went to the visualization panel on the left and brought in a text box (twice). Moved them where I wanted to and then added the text with formatting.

Can you be a little more specific about the type / placement of the description? Maybe a sample screen mockup of what your ideal solution would look like?

Agree it would be an attribute except in the specific case Christian mentioned. I would wonder why you would need to expose the column at all in a data set, especially one that might be shared with other less savvy users.

Or, in hindsight, imagine if they had just made obiee do some of the things DV does and make it work in the cloud?

No problem. I wish OAC would remove Open Classic Home as the dropdown choice in DV for what should be called OAC OBIEE. Didn't think it was possible. Will add it to the list of missing "features" in Oracle managed.

This is Oracle Managed OAC... 

If the custom table is referenced by an init block and that custom table is in an on-premise database, then the physical connection used by the init block will need to have the proper Remote Data Connector configuration referencing the Java Data Source in your on-premise Weblogic Server. If the init block is just accessing…

Is this similar to what you are looking for? I created a calculation called RankCnt with a formula of RANK(SUM(Person Count By Assignment Status)) Then I dragged that calculation down into the filter area on the visualization, not to the filter bar. Then in the visualization, set the limit from 1 to 10.

Thanks. The Explain option has a lot of limitations. The simplicity of the Data Tiles was its best feature especially for data profiling. I'm baffled why it would be taken away.

When features like this are removed from the product, there at least should be some mention of it in the What's New section of the documentation. I can't find any mention of it.

This is on OAC, not DV Desktop. It works fine on DV Desktop. I believe the ML and Python components are pre-installed in OAC BI Service.

It is basically unusable with the limited screen resolution, right? There should be some way to control the font size so all of the panels are visible.

Yes, but that doesn't explain why it happens in the first place. What is causing numeric values to become text? No reason for that.

I have seen the same behavior with a number of different steps in the Data Flows. It converts numeric values to text.

Thank you for that alternative.. probably not what I want to do for the longterm, I was just curious if others are seeing this behavior on screen. I've attached what my screen looks like currently. 

it's been unavailable for at least three weeks. I think that's worthy of expecting a response from Oracle since that is the only place to get the plugin's from. I've asked in other forums and received no response.

Now I understand. It is MY responsibility to find out why the plugin website that Oracle Analytics promotes on Twitter and its blog with links to those plugins has been down for three weeks. The same plugins that were demonstrated by Oracle Product Manager to customers at KScope and Collaborate in the past few months and…

I tried Phillipe Lyons and oracle analytics on Twitter. No response in several days. If Oracle is promoting all these great plugins, perhaps they should make them available? Saying you can write them yourself isn't exactly inspiring as a marketing message. Pretty sure Tableau and Microsoft's Power BI similar plugin sites…

Agreed. The mechanism for setting up the REST API OAUTH configuration is too complicated. Allow for setting up a bucket for the OAC instance and scheduling the snapshot to be exported there.

Any update from Oracle Analytics product team on what options are available for regression testing. There is a tool from a company called Datagaps that supposedly can be used and claims to be used by the Oracle Analytics team. Is this correct?
