Dashboard Properties dialog

For more information, see "Changing the Properties of a Dashboard and its Pages."

Components

Style

Use this option to select a style for the dashboard. Styles control how dashboards and results are formatted for display, such as the color of text and links, the font and size of text, the borders in tables, the colors and attributes of charts, and so on.

The styles that are available for you to select include styles provided by Oracle as well as any custom styles provided by the administrator.

Description

Use this field to enter a description for the dashboard. Descriptions are displayed when administrators use the Catalog Manager. The description is not displayed on the dashboard.

Page Size

Use these options to specify how a dashboard page is to be sized:

You can also specify how a container (that is, a column or section) in a dashboard page is to be sized. For more information, see the "Column Properties dialog" or the "Section Properties dialog."

Filters and Variables: Edit

Click this button adjacent to the Filters and Variables heading to display the "Dashboard Filters and Variables dialog," where you add hidden named prompts to the whole dashboard. See "Adding a Hidden Dashboard Prompt to a Dashboard or Dashboard Page."

Dashboard Report Links: Edit

Use this button to display the "Report Links dialog," where you select which links are to be displayed with all analyses on the dashboard, unless customized settings have been specified for an individual dashboard page or analysis.

Prompts Apply Buttons

Use this list to specify if you want to include or exclude the prompt's Apply buttons on the dashboard at runtime. This setting applies to the entire dashboard, but you can use the "Dashboard builder" to override this setting on individual dashboard pages. Note the following options:

Prompts Reset Buttons

Use this list to specify whether you want to include or exclude the prompt's Reset buttons on the dashboard at runtime. The Reset button provides the user with three reset options: Reset to last applied values, Reset to default values, and Clear All. The Prompts Reset Buttons setting applies to the entire dashboard, but you can override this setting on individual dashboard pages.

Note the following options:

Prompts Auto-Complete

Use this option to enable or disable the auto-complete functionality for the dashboard. When enabled, Oracle BI EE suggests and highlights matching prompt values as the user types in the dashboard's prompt selection field, and highlights matching prompt values in the "Select Values dialog." See "What Is Auto-Complete?".
