Adding Views for Custom Analytics Dashboards

---

This process is similar to that of adding Siebel Analytics reports to the home page:

• First, using Siebel Tools, set up a new view.
• Then, in the operational application, define a symbolic URL for that view.

  For more information on how to set up a view to use Symbolic URLs, see the Siebel Portal Framework Guide.

To configure the symbolic URL for Analytics dashboards

1. Define a Symbolic URL.
   1. Navigate to Site Map >Integration Administration > Symbolic URL Administration.
   2. In the Symbolic URL Administration view, add a new record.
2. Define Symbolic URL arguments.
   1. Navigate to Symbolic URL Administration.
   2. In the Symbolic URL Administration applet, select the Symbolic URL you want to configure.
   3. In the Symbolic URL Arguments applet, enter the arguments that need to be sent to the external host.

      The symbolic URL definitions are:

      • Fixup Name: Default
      • SSO Disposition: IFrame

        NOTE:  The SSO Disposition is IFrame and not Inline as in the case of the applet.

      • Analytics Web application name: Select from the picklist.

        The arguments to be used for the symbolic URLS are shown in Table 39.

        Table 39.  Symbolic URL Arguments for Dashboards

        Name	Registered	Type	Value	Append	Sequence #
        Cmd	Y	Constant	PortalPages	Y	1
        PortalPath	Y	Constant	/shared/Executive/_Portal/Executive	Y	2
        nQUser	Y	Command	UseSiebelLoginId	Y	3
        nQPassword	Y	Command	UseSiebelLoginPassword	Y	4

        Note that cmd argument value is different and is PortalPages now. Also, the PortalPath is the path to the Dashboard, not the path to the report. You can get the path the same way as you would get the path to the report through Siebel Analytics Web.

3. In Siebel Analytics, create the dashboards.

   NOTE:  Only a Siebel Analytics Web administrator can perform this step.

4. In Siebel Analytics, set up the dashboards to your requirements.
