This is much needed "ease of use" functionality and a true gap between Answers and DV. We have an RPD with over 11K metrics/dimensions, and we use the default formatting extensively on the metrics (and some dimensions) in our RPD. This streamlines development and ensures proper formatting is consistently used across our…

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…

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…

@User_7CMER We don't really have a workaround. You can try to use expression filters, but they're too complicated for most users to easily modify quickly and don't really work as true interactive filters (i.e., dropdown). OBIEE prompts would probably work too but then you have to steer away from native DV and embed in an…

I am a big proponent for this. For years, we've had to go in and parse through the XML to rearrange long lists of metrics and dimensions that we have in column selector lists. Only some users have the skillset to do this. Even for those that do, this would be a great time savings to easily rearrange things to ensure…

bump We really need this. It's really limiting the capabilities to properly show dynamic trends. The current filtering default options do not suffice. We need parity with the features available in Answers prompts.

This would be extremely helpful for making analysis a lot more dynamic for "non-author" users. DV is becoming the go to solution in OAS for reporting. Column selectors allow the users to be able to select the analysis they want to see without having to know how to modify the views with full author access in Visualize. This…

This is definitely needed and required to make the filters as dynamic as needed. We do this with every one of our Answers dashboards to set our default timeframes using specific date ranges that are based on repository variables. The flexibility is not there in the current DV filters. This would be good to see implemented…

Being able to pass in the proper Canvas in a DV project would be a requirement as well since we would want to make sure we're linking to the appropriate "page." I had mentioned above an idea regarding adding this as well. In addition to filter values, we would like to be able to pass in the type of operator like you can do…

I agree. This is a much needed feature. We can't use traditional BI Agents to send DV content (even when embedded in an Answers dashboard it returns nothing). Would be great to schedule jobs similar to what we can do with Answers. Trigger them when thresholds are met as the requestor mentions would be great. We would also…

We need this functionality to be able to handle subqueries that allow for queries where we have one-to-many relationships. For example, we have customer orders that have multiple types of products associated with them. Users need to be able to filter dynamically to a specific product type and return KPIs based only on the…

This would be great. I know other BI tools allow this type of functionality. It would allow for conservation of space as well on the canvases by allowing more visuals available to users without actually having them displayed fulltime.

Agree that brushing should either be off by default or able to be configured as such. While it's interesting conceptually and depending on use can provide additional insights, what we've found is that if it's not turned off, it can generate some unintended long-running queries against the database and affect the…

This would be great. When you have hundreds of users, the content can quickly overwhelm and become extremely disorganized. Finding things only by search feature or sorting isn't as intuitive as organizing into folder structures. As mentioned, folders would allow an quick and easy way of applying permissions similar to…

Agree. This would make filtering capability much more flexible across canvases in projects.

This would be extremely helpful to allow URLs from other external applications or even from an Answers Action Link to go straight to a specific canvas (would be fantastic to be able to leverage a "navigate to BI content" from Answers to DV and pass report criteria, but at a minimum would like to be able to use "Invoke an…

This is a critical need for our executive KPI reporting to ensure trends become as dynamic as we need them to be. There is much more flexibility to handle this in Answers. We are limited by this for our DV scorecards and having to do our best to work around it, but it's a significant gap in functionality to leverage our…

Is oracle's documentation wrong then? Maybe it just doesn't work. They have it posted you can pass in variables with values: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12211/biee/BIEUG/GUID-5347837C-D903-43E8-90D1-89D65C8BFDA6.htm

I need to set the column name to a specific field name. If I don't pass a value for the presentation variable, it won't allow the URL to define the field to group the data on. I just tried the URL without the val1 value, and it pretty much does the same thing as with the value...it just returns my default column. Normally,…
