Embedded Content Properties dialog

Use this dialog to specify the URL and other information about content to embed on a dashboard page.

For more information, see "Adding Content to Dashboards."

Components

URL

Use this field to enter the location and name of the content to embed.

These are examples:

http://www.oracle.com
/dashboardfiles/piegraph.xls

The URL that you specify should begin with http:// unless you plan to use an item that is saved on the Web server. If you use a network path to indicate the location of the item, then ensure that you use the exact path. Items that are embedded on a shared dashboard must be located on a network drive that is accessible to all users.

If the content you embed is an external application (for example, a PDF file or a video), then also select the This URL Embeds an Application box.

This URL Embeds an Application

Select this box if you embed an external application (such as a PDF file or a video) on the dashboard page. This will prevent Oracle BI EE menus and dialogs (such as the Page Options menu) from being hidden by the external application when they are displayed (by temporarily hiding the embedded application).

If you do not select this box, then Oracle BI EE menus and dialogs may be hidden by the external application.

Width

Use this field to specify the width of the embedded content in the dashboard. Note the following about width and height specifications:

Height

Use this field to specify the height of the embedded content in the dashboard. Adjust the height setting for the best display results.

Hide Scroll Bars

Select this box to indicate that the scroll bars for the embedded content are not displayed. If you do not select this box, then scroll bars are automatically added to the window if they are needed.
