How to stop auto run of reports in Dashboard

KashSidd Apr 20, 2018 2:23 PM

I am trying to find a way to stop reports from running when you first visit the Dashboard. It works when I gave a fake value to a prompt but then it returns a tacky message which I would rather not display.

You don't say what version of OBIEE you are using, so difficult to say if the reply will apply or not ....

Check the checkboxes "Prompt before Opening" for the page and the analysis will wait you set prompt values before to execute. A kind of delayed execution once the prompts have been set.

Otherwise conditions hiding and showing sections in the page: show the section with the analysis only if prompt have been set, if not display a section saying to set the prompt first.

So you must have the checkbox option avoiding you to have to setup conditions hiding/showing sections in the page (screenshot from that same version).

It's slightly unknown, but so useful ...

If you got what you were looking for you can close the thread and mark as required, right now it's still This question is Not Answered.

You have to mark one of the answers as "correct" or mark the whole thread as "assumed answered" if it wasn't what you really looked for but don't need anything else.
