Specifying Defaults for Oracle BI Presentation Services Styles and Skins

You can specify which style and skin to use when users choose the default style at the Dashboard Properties screen in Dashboards by adding entries to the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml):

• Specifying Which Oracle BI Presentation Services Style Folder to Use
• Specifying Which Oracle BI Presentation Services Skins Folder to Use

If users do not make a choice, or if these entries are not present in the instanceconfig.xml file, the Oracle Corporation styles and skins are used. These styles and skins are located in the s_oracle10 and sk_oracle10 folders in the SAROOTDIR\web\app\res directory, where SAROOTDIR is the installation directory.

For information about working in the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml), read Making Oracle BI Presentation Services Configuration Changes.

Specifying Which Oracle BI Presentation Services Style Folder to Use

You can specify which style folder to use in the \web\app\res folder when users select the Default option from the Styles drop-down list at the Dashboard Properties screen in Dashboards. If your style folder begins with the characters s_, such as s_TestStyle, omit those characters from the entry.

The following entry is an example:

<DefaultStyle>TestStyle</DefaultStyle>

Specifying Which Oracle BI Presentation Services Skins Folder to Use

To specify the skins folder that is paired with the style folder you selected as described in Specifying Which Oracle BI Presentation Services Style Folder to Use, add the following entry. If your skins folder begins with the characters sk_, such as sk_TestSkin, omit those characters from the entry.

The following entry is an example:

<DefaultSkin>TestSkin</DefaultSkin>
