Adding Shared Dashboards Pages and Content


After you have created dashboards, you can add pages and content.

Adding Pages and Content

For information about adding pages and columns, read Oracle Business Intelligence Answers, Delivers, and Interactive Dashboards User Guide.

Adding Sections

A section is a folder, or a shortcut to a folder, that appears within a dashboard. For the procedure for adding sections to a dashboard, read Managing Dashboards.

When adding requests from Answers to a section, do one of the following:

  • Include requests previously saved to the Subject Area folders.
  • Create a new request, save it in the appropriate Subject Area folder, and add it to the shared section using the Existing Request link.

    This technique is preferred for several reasons. The permissions on the Subject Area folders filter requests from the dashboard from users that might have dashboard permission, but not permission to certain subject areas. You can refer to the same request in multiple dashboard sections, you can change it once, and have it reflected in all sections.

If you are working with content that is specific to a number of group folders, you might want to create a new folder directly underneath the /Shared folder to use, and set permissions to the new folder to Read for the appropriate groups.
