Creating a New Oracle BI Interactive Dashboard


The following procedure provides the steps to create a new, empty Oracle BI Interactive Dashboard. Dashboard creation is reserved for users with the appropriate permissions and responsibilities.

To create a new, empty dashboard

  1. Log in to Oracle BI and click Settings, and the Administration link.

    The Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration page appears.

  2. In the Activities section, click the following link:

    Manage Interactive Dashboards

    The Manage Dashboards page appears.

  3. Click the following link at the bottom of the page:

    Create a new Interactive Dashboard

  4. At the Create Dashboard page, enter a location and name for the dashboard, and the name of the user or group that can modify the dashboard.
  5. Exit Oracle BI Administration and return to Oracle BI Interactive Dashboards.

    The name of the new dashboard appears at the top of the screen.

    NOTE:  Newly-created dashboards contain one blank page. Dashboards that contain only one page do not display the page name as a tab at the top of the dashboard. Dashboard page names appear at the top of a dashboard only when the dashboard contains multiple pages.

  6. Click the name of the new dashboard.

    An empty dashboard page appears.

  7. To add content to the dashboard, click either of the following links:
    • Click here to add content
    • Edit Dashboard

      The Dashboard Editor appears.
