This section explains how to rename and delete objects in an Oracle BI Interactive Dashboard. It contains the following topics:

Renaming Objects on an Oracle BI Interactive Dashboard Page

Objects on a dashboard that do not already have a name are assigned a default name, such as Section 1, Link 1, and so on. You can rename objects to assign meaningful, descriptive names.

To rename an object

  1. In the Dashboard Editor, click the Rename button for the object.

    The Rename dialog box appears.

  2. Type a new name for the object and click OK.

Deleting Objects on an Oracle BI Interactive Dashboard Page

If you add an object that you decide you do not want, you can delete it.

For objects saved in the Presentation Catalog, the object is deleted from the dashboard page only. It is not deleted from the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog. (Users with the appropriate permissions can edit the contents of the Presentation Catalog by clicking the Manage button on the Catalog tab in the selection pane in Oracle BI Answers.)

To delete an object on a dashboard page

  • In the Dashboard Editor, click the Delete button for the object.

    NOTE:  When you delete a column, other columns on the page may resize automatically to maintain column alignment.
